Pahnast vabaks! Kodu arukas korrastamine

by Geralin Thomas

Kas sa tunned end kodus rahulikult, mugavalt ja lõõgastunult? Kas sa tahaksid, et sul oleks rohkem aega, energiat ja raha? See kõlab uskumatult, aga üleliigne kola mõjutab su pangaarvet, õnnetunnet ja tervist. Pahnal on nii füüsilised, emotsionaalsed kui ka majanduslikud mõjud, kuigi me seda endale iga päev ei teadvusta. Aga millest alustada, kui olukord on kasvanud üle pea ja ülesanne käib üle jõu?

See raamat pakub toredaid, loovaid ja asjatundlikke meetodeid, mida kasutavad ärisaladusi järgides professionaalsed korrastajad. Korrastamise protsess muutub palju meeldivamaks, kui näha selles võimalust lasta asjadel minna, ja mis peamine – see aitab luua korda oma elus tervikuna.

Geralin Thomas on spetsialiseerunud kodu ja kodukontorite korrastamisele. Kuus hooaega korrastas ta Ameerika kõige korratumaid kodusid telesarjas ,,Hoarders”. Tema veebilehte metropolitanorganizing.com külastab umbes 10 000 huvilist kuus.

I appreciated this self-help with its many tips and ideas. At the back of the book there are pages of lists to help for tasks at different times, daily, weekly and seasonally.

This book was more about "hiding" and storage instead of decluttering.
There is however, a nice section on how to declutter digital items, and I enjoyed that bit.

[Aubrie · Rating 2 out of 5]

First of all, yikes. For a book about decluttering by a professional organization consultant, reading this was in fact a real mess. I was first interested in this book for the photographs. The two organizing books I have read were all words and I figured it would be nice to get visuals of pristine tidying. Unfortunately, the words that were in it were so disorganized that I often found it difficult or inconvenient to read. Many times, Geralin Thomas would reference something on a different page, or the paragraphs were numbered, but never in a cohesive order. I feel like this book was trying to read like a magazine, but even magazines have a certain method or order that this book certainly did not possess.

I was also very disappointed that throughout most of this book, the solution always seemed to be having more storage receptacles rather than actually getting rid of your stuff. Kind of surprising when you realize that Thomas consults hoarders on television. It just seemed odd that she would even suggest hiding everything away in your home. Not that she says it outright, but this is the impression I got from this book.

There's also the fact that many of her solutions seemed to only be for people with the space for so much stuff. On one page in particular, it shows a kitchen that is so large and spacious, it had me second guessing whether I had a real kitchen or a Fisher Price version. Seriously, a lot of people who wish to declutter often don't have the amount of space Thomas seems to think everyone has. This book is for the privileged few who have more than 600sqft to work with. And, in a way, that is going to cause this book to age terribly. Many people around my age and younger won't have the kind of space Thomas dreamed up for all of us in this book.

The only reason why I will give this book two stars instead of one is because it has lists in the back, which I honestly think are better than anything else in this book. I can go over these lists as needed. In the scheme of things though, I could have just as easily found lists like these online.

Overall, I don't recommend this book. If you really want to declutter your home, this book isn't the right one to read. And while the lists in the end are helpful, such information can be sought elsewhere.

Practical, and inspirational. The pictures and steps make it easy to follow, and break it down to make it manageable.

I'm crazy messy, but it was a helpful book with a simple concept. If you don't love it, need it or want it, get rid of it. Then it shows you ways to organize. I'll probably have to review it from time to time to implement in my home.

Definitely recommend this gem, especially over the Marie Kondo and other decluttering books which are often text heavy and overly optimistic or idealistic.

Thomas makes it possible to bring your home in order.

I've read many books on decluttering and home organization and this book was well organized with chapters on everything needed to get the job done.

The techniques were helpful and I especially appreciated the often overlooked area of our digital life...very much a home component these days.

My paper and digital clutter now is being tamed with many thanks to Geralin Thomas and her well presented tips.

Almost liked this book better than Marie Condo's famous book! Very helpful indeed!

[Tekla György (teklakonyvei) · Rating 3 out of 5]

A Rend a lelke mindennek! – Ötletek, praktikák, titkok a rendezett otthonhoz gyakorlatilag egy hasonlóan szigorú kötet, mint amilyennel néhány éve Marie Kondo rukkolt elő, csak talán egy fokkal kevésbé sokkoló, és a szerző nem kér arra, hogy szabadulj meg az összes könyvedtől. Ettől függetlenül a könyv olvasása kapcsán viszonylag tisztán körvonalazódott bennem, hogy inkább élek a békés és kényelmes káoszomban, mint hogy a cuccaim felét kidobáljam. Röviden és tömören úgy tudnám megfogalmazni az álláspontom, hogy a lakás, ahol élek, az az otthonom, és én sem vagyok tökéletes, így nem is szándékozom bemutatóteremben élni.

Ettől független akit érdekel, és akit boldoggá tesz a téma, annak valószínűleg egy egészen hasznos útmutatóul szolgálhat ez a kötet, amelyben minden lehetséges helyiségről szó esik, és a legegyszerűbb tippeket is felsorakoztatja a szerző.

Libro interessante ed utile per chi si approccia al decluttering.
Per me è l'ennesimo, quindi niente di nuovo sotto il sole, però è scritto bene, scorrevole e ricco di consigli utili.
Suddivisione dei capitoli in base alle varie zone della casa, spiega i concetti basilari per una vita organizzata e routine giornaliere o settimanali consolidate.
Tutto per non trovarsi sopraffatti dal caos di oggetti e compiti da svolgere senza ansia.
Completo di domande e risposte che aiutano nello sbarazzarsi di cianfrusaglie o oggetti del cuore, con liste finali da tenere in considerazione secondo i vari impegni o momenti della vita, che siano le classiche faccende di casa, archiviazione documenti, preparazione valigie.
Un manuale come tanti sul genere, utile ai disorganizzati, o ai classici "sepolti in casa".

Sausi par mājas sakārtošanu, lai gan saprotu, ka grāmata balstīta pašas autores pieredzē, atgādināja vienkārši vairākus kopā saliktus padomus no interneta. Tai pašā laikā - ir dažādi cilvēki, kā rezultātā māja tiek kārtota dažādos veidos. grāmata ir sadalīta nodaļās kā istabās, aicinot izmest visu lieko un pārdomāt dzīvi. ļoti noderīgas ir grāmatas beigas ar čeklisti ar darāmajiem darbiem. man personīgi grāmata nepalīdzēja (nu, varbūt tāpēc, ka jau labu laiku piedomāju pie tā, ko pērku un ik nedēļu izmetu/atdodu nevajadzīgas lietas), bet kādam, kam tā ir pirmā reize nopietnā mājas tīrīšanas lietā - šis ir labs materiāls, ar ko sākt.

I thought I would be picking up a usual book on decluttering and organizing stuff. Turns out that it contains very useful and practical advise on organizing various spaces in the home.

What surprised me was the author goes one step further to write about organizing your time and mentality around decluttering. The book goes deeper than just the surface but also addresses the human aspects of it.

Good book to get started on decluttering!

[Stephanie · Rating 2 out of 5]

The font size killed this book. Way too tiny. (Unrelated to the review ranking I personally did not find the photos attractive either.) Much of the advice was solid. Some of the advice was way too simplistic/idealized. The inclusion of a section on packing and digital clutter was both unexpected and much appreciated.

Ilma autori nime vaatamata oli rmt lugedes aru saada, et tegu oli Ameeriklasest naisega, kellel on lapsed. Ei anna juurde. Enamus raamatu sisust oli teada, ainult paar fakti oli uut. Polnud väärt seda rmt läbi lugeda, et neid paari fakti teada saada.

[Laura · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ho solo sfogliato questo manuale perché penso che tutti, o quasi tutti, i libri sul riordino siano uguali e diano gli stessi consigli. Eliminare il superfluo una stanza alla volta o una categoria alla volta (libri, vestiti, scarpe, etc...).

[Liene Krūtaine · Rating 3 out of 5]

Tā kā grāmata ir jau izdota krietnu laiku atpakaļ, daudzas lietas tajā vairs nav aktuālas vai arī nav īsti raksturīgas Latvijas sabiedrībai. Paņēmu šādas tādas idejas arī priekš savas mājas kārtošanas sistēmas.

[Heather Barrett · Rating 5 out of 5]

A minimalistic, to the point guide on how to declutter and organise your home. Though brief at points, the book is a useful starting place to get things in order.

[Larilyn · Rating 4 out of 5]

The tips were nice. The layout of the book was a little too chaotic for my taste, but I’ll put some of these to good use

I like the step by step, room by room, lists and advice.

[Renee · Rating 4 out of 5]

Clear, brief, intelligent strategies to organizing your life. Multiple encouragements to disregard the tyranny of Pinterest and follow your own life, desires, and habits to make your home, and life, more organized, peaceful and productive. Unlike similar tomes, this one remembers that the goal of all of this work is freedom to pursue those things that make you happy, not to build your internet fame. I especially liked the checklists at the end and the chapter about family meetings and communication. Photographs are lovely.
