Why do so many super intelligent and creative people live in homes that resemble a train wreck? The homes and offices where rooms and floors are piled high with clothes, cupboards are stuffed with stuff, and papers, papers, papers(!) are everywhere! Organizing magazines and DIY books don’t seem to help and you’re often feeling stuck. How do you envision cleared spaces when you’re living in such a mess? DeClutter 101: Chaos to Clarity is an inspiring presentation with strategies that will help transform your relationship to the “stuff” you may need someday, and the “stuff” you hold near and dear to your heart (or do you?).
Somehow in our paperless age we generate more paper than ever before! Learn about the impact of your relationship to time, your relationship to paper, ways to deal with paper the moment it enters your office or mailbox, and creative strategies to manage paper flow among co-workers of varying brain-types.
Let’s face it. Many of us just don’t have a good relationship with “time.” The truth of the matter is that we cannot manage time….but we can manage our relationship to it.
Your brain can be a powerful tool or a staggering enemy. You can uplift and elevate how you think about things as easily as you can disparage and deny that goodness is all around you. The clutter and chaos of this “psychic debris” often reflects the clutter and chaos of our living spaces. Cluttered minds and cluttered closets weigh us down, thwart productivity, and make it difficult to move forward with ease and a sense of clarity. Designed to help you understand the relationship between the stuff in your head and what’s under the bed, Dr. Regina Lark provides practical tools and strategies to declutter the mind, and other matters.
“Regina explains this acronym (MAINTAIN) in the last chapter of her book Psychic Debris, Crowded Closets. Just listened to it yesterday (while driving) and wished I had a way to take notes right that moment. Brilliant piece of work there Regina. I loved it! Thank you for intuitively feeling my anguish and posting this!”

“Just reading the book has helped me address the problem. Not too long while enjoying my morning coffee, I picked up this book again. On that particular day, I had to laundry, but was out of detergent. With her words ringing in my ears, I drove to Target where I needed to make the necessary purchase. Her words reminded me to keep my focus on what I was buying. For those of us who accumulate more stuff than our dwelling places can accommodate, Regina Lark’s book is a great resource. “
