Het meeste wist ik al wel maar toch heb ik enkele dingen voorgelezen en had ik al zin om heel mijn huis binnenste buiten te keren (alhoewel de schrijfster niet zo streng is ... als je twijfelt of je iets zal houden of niet, dan kreeg je nog enkele maanden respijt)
ik ga alvast starten met mijn zwervende spullen een thuis te geven.

En ik onthoud hoe een olifant eet ... beetje per beetje.

I read this cover to cover over the weekend and enjoyed it, which is a somewhat unusual thing to say about a book concerning housekeeping. It's a slim volume, which is its strength and its weakness, but it did reframe my approach to clutter and cleaning. I'm not exagerrating, when I say that learning to see a house in terms of flows and rhythms, rather than walls and things, has been revolutionary. I've already instituted some changes, and rather than feeling like a chore, these changes make me feel more aligned with the natural patterns within my flat. I would recommend this to anyone feeling that stuff is taking over their lives, having a hard time keeping up with the daily, weekly and monthly chores, or just wanting to get along better with their living space.

Inge van der Ploeg offers something unique in the arena of clutter books. She offers exercises that help you to cut right to the core of where your problem areas are in your house without taking 400 pages to do it, or using an overly familiar style. If you, like me, have a life-long relationship with clutter, you have picked up a book or ten promising to help you get organized. One thing that is often so off-putting to me about these books is the author’s tendency to “talk” to me like a cheerleader, which I personally find unappealing. In contrast, this author offers all of the good thinking, while feeling professional and capable, and using a friendly voice (without any “go-girl” kind of talk).

This book was very weird to me. I think because she talks about cleaning in a flow pattern. You need to get in a rhythm and then it will help you with your clutter and household processes but I just could not find any flow to the book.
