Bob Jackson,
When I serendipitously ran across this title I scoffed and was just a wee bit skeptical。 What could possibly be wrong with retaining all my notes and books from university。。。。and perhaps notes and papers from high school。。。even though high school was 50 years ago。 I have all my cards from past holidays, birthdays, general correspondences in case I ever want to go back and look at them (has never happened)。 My list goes on and my areas of clutter fall under most of the categories the author propo When I serendipitously ran across this title I scoffed and was just a wee bit skeptical。 What could possibly be wrong with retaining all my notes and books from university。。。。and perhaps notes and papers from high school。。。even though high school was 50 years ago。 I have all my cards from past holidays, birthdays, general correspondences in case I ever want to go back and look at them (has never happened)。 My list goes on and my areas of clutter fall under most of the categories the author proposes as the potential reasons behind the different clutter。Lisa Hedberg has brilliantly written a book that very gently addresses clutter and is just spot on in identifying the types of clutter in my home。。。which I even now realise also seems to be in my life。 Just too many things to do and it is important that I accomplish them at the highest standard。 She is extremely sensitive to the acknowledgment of clutter and her personal stories actually help。 I love the gentle step-by-step suggestions which actually have allowed me to get rid of a lot of the clutter。。。and not be just move things into another room。I sense that I am babbling (sigh) but if anyone bothers to read this I want them to know that at least for me the information in this book appears to be effective。 I have a long way to go but I think this whole declutter thing is starting to impact how I feel about myself。 I think? Also I should mention that things still creep back。。。but the benefits of non-clutter seem to be much better than the fear of forgetting to do something if I can't see the thing I left out or thought I needed。 Kudos to the author and many thanks。 。。。more
Judith,
So worth reading。 4*Many of us accumulate so much stuff in our homes, I often feel guilty。 I give a lot away to charity, particularly now, as Covid is undoubtedly responsible for a lot of extra poverty that had managed to stay under the surface before。 I have found the author's advice very helpful, but I also found it hard to adopt her totally pragmatic approach to decluttering。 I may be carrying a lot of emotional baggage but I suspect many people will experience similar reluctance to remove it So worth reading。 4*Many of us accumulate so much stuff in our homes, I often feel guilty。 I give a lot away to charity, particularly now, as Covid is undoubtedly responsible for a lot of extra poverty that had managed to stay under the surface before。 I have found the author's advice very helpful, but I also found it hard to adopt her totally pragmatic approach to decluttering。 I may be carrying a lot of emotional baggage but I suspect many people will experience similar reluctance to remove items from their lives that have great sentimental meaning。 I wholeheartedly agree that a lot of clutter has in addition to the physical manifestation of an untidy home also carries a psychological burden。 Decluttering one's home will help to declutter one's mind and I think a lot of people will benefit from the author's advice。I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review。 。。。more
