Eliminate Chaos is a user-friendly system for organizing each room of the house, including the kitchen and pantry, closet, garage, home office, and childrens' rooms. The author’s ten-step system is presented in an easy-to-use, workbook-style layout. Full-color photos demonstrate the various stages of the organizing process, illustrating not just "before and after," but the realistic, messy, all-important steps in between. Leist’s method is based on the underlying principle that "it’s not about the stuff." She touches on the psychological reasons behind clutter and not letting go — such as procrastination, denial, thrift, and family history — but her underlying premise is that being organized is an on-going process, not a one-day event. By learning to sort, prioritize, and make fast, rational decisions about their household goods, readers become more efficient and functional not just at home, but in other areas of life as well.

ECPA BESTSELLER • A compelling emotional and spiritual case against hurry and in favor of a slower, simpler way of life “As someone all too familiar with ‘hurry sickness,’ I desperately needed this book.”—Scott Harrison, New York Times best-selling author of Thirst “Who am I becoming?” That was the question nagging pastor and author John Mark Comer. Outwardly, he appeared successful. But inwardly, things weren’t pretty. So he turned to a trusted mentor for guidance and heard these words: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life. Hurry is the great enemy of the spiritual life.” It wasn’t the response he expected, but it was—and continues to be—the answer he needs. Too often we treat the symptoms of toxicity in our modern world instead of trying to pinpoint the cause. A growing number of voices are pointing at hurry, or busyness, as a root of much evil. Within the pages of this book, you’ll find a fascinating roadmap to staying emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world.

The most critical component to solving a problem is correctly diagnosing the problem. In 2016, John Hopkins University School of Medicine published a study estimating hundreds of thousands die every year from a medical misdiagnosis, which led us to wonder: How many relationships could have been saved if the root cause of relationship conflict was correctly identified? What would happen if, instead of focusing on how to save the relationship, we focused on what caused the conflict in the first place? We suppose millions of relationships could have been saved. Killing Chaos was written to serve as a diagnostic manual for all those who wonder why their relationship suffers more than just the usual conflict. We recognize some want to not only preserve their relationship but also reduce the conflict in their relationships. This book was written for those who want to reduce the drama in their relationships through understanding. This book is for those who want to understand how their relationship became chaotic and continues to remain in chaos. Establishing and understanding the nexus between God and relationships is critical to developing a relationship with your family, friends, and significant other. This book was written to help others come to terms with how God sees their relationship, with the hope they will recalibrate expectations and move forward in a relationship with less drama.

If you had heart disease, cancer, or another physical malady, would you let it run its course, or would you treat it? Physical illnesses can cause you to be less happy, less focused on the task at hand, and less productive. They can lead to increased absence from work or poor job performance. We seek treatment to feel better and to be happier and more productive so we can live our dreams. Why is it then that when illness is related to emotional, mental, or relationship factors that cause similar outcomes, we are more likely to hide and deny it, hoping it just goes away? This doesnt make sense. If we simply addressed the issues up front and learned techniques to help ourselves and our employees overcome them, we would see direct results in enhanced job performance, a more positive outlook, and focused productivity. Drawing from twenty-seven years of experience as a marriage and family therapist, Marianne Clyde uses stories and examples from the lives of clients that have experienced a happier and more passionate life by implementing the principles in this book. Zentivity offers clear strategies that are easy to understand and implement so that you can see immediate results in your workplace: better relationships and performance, as well as increased productivity.
