Declutter Your Life: Reduce Stress, Increase Productivity, And Enjoy Your Clutter-Free Life (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I noticed that several reviewers mentioned how short this book is. I borrowed it on my Kindle and read through it in one sitting. I liked the length; I wasn't looking for a long book. I found several useful tips in it. I would recommend it to a young person just wading into the home decorating stage of life. There are many helpful suggestions for shopping, decorating and decluttering. Even though I've been doing many of these things already, I found the book encouraging and learned a few new tricks. One thing I really appreciated was the helpful tone used by the author. Keeping a home de-cluttered and tastefully decorated on a budget takes effort. Many of us need 'permission' to experiment and try new things. That's the message I got from the book. The author obviously knows what she's talking about. I plan to read her book on living frugally, even though that may be a hopeless goal for me! All of the suggestions in this book are applicable and useful. However, the book is short and these ideas could be covered in a few blog posts, thereby reaching more people. For a detailed book that discusses clutter, see Karen Kingston's book, "Clear Your Clutter with Feng Shui." Even if you do not read the Feng shui chapters, it is an invaluable book. A second suggestion would be Julie Morgenstern's books.Te write has a good and engaging voice, as if she's speaking to a friend. However, there just isn't enough new information to justify reading this book.
