LCN 020: The Difference Between Clutter & Mess, and Why It Matters

Do you know the difference between clutter and mess, and how they impact your life, your creativity, and your well-being?

The terms “mess” and “clutter” are often used interchangeably, but they are most definitely NOT the same thing. If you want to enhance your creativity and creative productivity, greatly improve your quality of life, and increase your serenity and happiness, you need to know the difference.

In fact, an understanding of the difference, combined with my Golden Formula, could change your life. That’s what this episode is all about.

Heads up: I’m coming to NYC! On Saturday, October 10, I’ll be in New Jersey, teaching a half-day Unleash Your Inner Creative Playshop, and performing at a house concert. Wanna join me? Get on my mailing list and I’ll send you more details as soon as I have them.
