Less Clutter More Life New Book by Barbara Hemphill with Artwork and Photography by Louise Wannier
RALEIGH, N.C. —For 20 years, Barbara Hemphill focused on helping individuals and organizations eliminate paper and physical clutter. For the next ten years, the dawning of the internet offered new opportunities to apply her principles to digital clutter, but in recent years she became acutely aware that there is a subtle kind of emotional and spiritual clutter which truly prevents people from accomplishing their work and enjoying their lives. This book addresses that issue.
