Downsize Now: The Joy of Decluttering for a Fresh Start
If you've ever dreamed of living in a beautiful little cottage, you need to downsize.
If you want to stay in your current home but make it more spacious, easy to care for, and expressive of your true values and preferences, you need to downsize.
If you want to make the eventual process of clearing your home less of a burden for your loved ones, you need to downsize.
Whether you actually move from your current home into a smaller living space, or simply undertake a radical declutter, it's a challenge. But it's also a chance to reinvent yourself and carry just the essentials into your new life. By releasing decades'-worth of accumulated items, you can emerge with more energy and freedom. You're ready to look ahead, not back.
Downsizing can be hard, or it can be easier. DOWNSIZE NOW will give you the tools and inspiration to get the job done so you can start enjoying all the benefits. While you may be interested in dealing with your stuff now so that people you care about don't have to do it later, it's not a completely unselfish process. That's because the person who's going to gain the most from downsizing is you. You get all the joy of a clutter-free, fresh start. You also get all the scientifically proven benefits of living without a load of useless stressless indecisionless cleaning and dusting (and fewer allergens)less laundryfewer arguments with housematesmore ease in finding what you needbetter sleep and overall mental healtha sense of accomplishmentmore clarity about your prioritiesmore focus and concentrationmore self-confidencemore energy and creativitymore gratitude for all you havemore time, more room, and more money for what matters most to you

I found myself wanting to buy this book... but I want less rather than more. I took notes on the important bits in a sketchbook with colourful markers. I recommend it- the author does the equivalent of a soak in dish soap by getting at habits and thoughts that perpetuate clutter and giving a new perspective.
I can see a way to change more than the physical clutter... the six experiments in living with less are great.
I've been unsubscribing to emails and texts, as I see that this clutter was taking up my time as well as space in my email.
Much of the book included links in footnotes; I'm glad I read a paperback rather than an ebook as the links would be distracting from absorbing the book's messages.
