Publisher's summary

An inspiring guide to focusing on what matters most in life—and hitting delete on what doesn’t.

Life is noisier, messier, and more complicated than ever. In our quest to keep up, we can lose sight of what we care about most, and instead try to do it all—with mixed results.

In this beautiful call to examine and edit our lives, writer Elisabeth Sharp McKetta shares eight simple ways to cut through the clutter, drama, and overwhelm of modern life to live with more intention and joy. Inspired by her own experiments with reprioritizing, tiny house living, and finding the right balance of work and family time, Edit Your Life brings together personal narrative and practical takeaway, with inspiring results.

Whether you’re pivoting, downsizing, relocating, or just ready to have more time and energy for the people and activities you love most, this engaging and practical guide will bring you on a journey of exploration and reflection—and point you toward the life you truly want to live.

Great way to look at life

The author did an excellent job outlining the editing mind frame to look at life. Good examples and excellent writing. The reading was a bit slow so I listened at 1.7 speed and it went great.

Great metaphor for shaping life

I appreciated the honesty and simplicity with which the author shares from her own life experience and from editing as a practice. Useful as an attitude to life whether one is young or old, parent or not.
