Less is More: How to de-clutter your life

by Kim Carruthers

Less Is More tackles the very contemporary issue of de-cluttering your life. This includes not just the physical aspects of de-cluttering a home or a room, but also the emotional clutter that might be inherent in a life. This book helps clutterers learn to accept, understand and deal with the deep-seated emotions that go with cluttering, while at the same time providing smart, practical techniques, methods, and rules of thumb to clear away the clutter, and then to keep it away.

Less is More provides step-by-step strategies to deal with clutter. Solutions are provided to streamline your clothes, toys, books, office, kitchen and bedroom in order to attain a clutter free life.
I consider myself reasonably organised but I gained lots of tips on how to deal the ever-present dilemma of organising family photos and dealing with other such ‘piles’ in small manageable and pain-free chunks of time.
For those of us who have stacks of unclaimed medical and tax receipts the book describes how to tackle them and gain the satisfaction of a job well done and even some financial rewards!
Carruthers offers up lots of funny and personal anecdotes from her own life that make the book easy to read and surprisingly entertaining. She gives us permission to stop striving for perfection in our homes but to rather live a life of less stuff so that we can enjoy life more.

Real rating is 3.5 stars. Although it's all been said before, this is one of the better books on the subject of de-cluttering that I have read.
