Control Your Clutter!: You don't have to get rid of EVERYTHING! Even hoarders will succeed with this method!

by Theresa Smith

"Control Your Clutter!" is a book that is going to show you how to gain control of the clutter in your house so you can reclaim a calm, stress-free life. The method in this book works even if you are a hoarder! For the person with just a little clutter to an all out pack rat who hasn’t thrown anything away for thirty years, this book has the solution to your problem. Do you hide and stay away from the windows when someone is knocking at your door? Do you have to clear away a place to sit when your family comes to visit? Even if the last time you saw your floor was ten years ago, this book will work for you! Even the person who faces eviction due to their hoarding ways will be able to follow these steps and dig themselves out of their situation. In this book, I am going to give instructions about how to deal with your clutter. Surprisingly, I am not going to tell you to get rid of everything. I come from a very poor background, and I must tell you that I understand hanging on to something in case you need it again. After all, it doesn't make sense to throw something out and then turn around and buy it again the next time you need it. I am going to ask you to make some hard decisions about whether or not you really need each item you come across. As usual, you will either donate the stuff you don't need, sell it, or throw it in the trash if it has no value. But I am going to give you the option to organize the things you can't part with so that they are no longer clutter even if you keep them. This book breaks all of the barriers a person has to getting their life back in order. Because I allow you to choose to keep your possessions, it helps take away the fear of losing everything. It will help you be able to let go of more things during the process and then rationalize getting rid of more things you saved after a generous period of time. It is similar to pulling the band-aid off slowly. Whatever your relationship is with your possessions, this book will be able to help you reclaim your home and your life! If you don’t read this book now, where will you be next week, next month or next year? I promise this method is the least painful way I know to gain control of your clutter.

Oh boy, hopefully this book taught me everything I need to know

Our house was built in the 1800's so we don't have much room for anything. It's a 2 bedroom house with a very small basement for a washer and dryer to fit. Yes, I need to go through every room like it said. Very good instructions on how to declutter and get rid of junk more to say. Time to get started this weekend. Oh and my storage that I just moved from outdoor to an indoor heated.

This is a helpful, quick read. I’m reading these books to look for tips I haven’t seen before. I liked the way it was organized by room and the advice. It is more for beginners who need help decluttering.

This book was a #freeebook promotion but would have paid for it in a heartbeat. This book is straight forward, well written and easy to follow for anyone. This will help those with emotional issues and attachments to inanimate objects, allow you to see past the mounds of accumulation and into the soul of your issues.

I am a control freak, no secret to my family although they are not. I need to see clean counters as does my son in law, but there are four adults living here with very different cleaning styles. I hate clutter, always have probably always will. I grew up in a home where everything had a place and it shall not be moved from that space, minimalist, and orderly. After leaving my home a few years ago for nearly two years and only home for a weekend visit I was unable to contain the clutter that gathered while away. Then my mother passed and finding the time to do it just fell away and frankly I did not care until recently with more life changes.

I needed a boost but was not sure where that was going to come from. I stood in the middle of my kitchen and attempted this alone. Every time I threw something away there was a battle. I moved the microwave and another battle ensued. Then I had seen this book Control Your Clutter! there had to be an answer in here, and there was. That is why you are getting this review today. I spent yesterday doing the kitchen and I feel exhilarated. You see, yesterday was trash day, and no taking back what I threw away. I have storage space in my basement on shelves which other things felt quite at home sitting on. The only thing I did different were the containers, personally, I love Rubbermaid products and bought those instead.

This is, needless to say, a life changing book, remember not to overwhelm yourself one room a day, or one room at a time. When you are done the weight feels lifted. I am lucky there are only two rooms I have trouble with and the kitchen is done, next is my room which appears to have become a catch-all in my eyes although you can always see my floors as well as always a place to sit there is clutter I see others may not.

This is not a long book however it is full of substance. Theresa Smith has outdone herself with this self-help book
