About the author

Author of NEVER TOO BUSY TO CURE CLUTTER (William Morrow/HarperCollins, Jan. 2016) and UNCLUTTER YOUR LIFE IN ONE WEEK (Gallery Books/Simon and Schuster, Nov. 2009). Editor-in-chief of Unclutterer.com and a regular (4 or 5 times a year) advice columnist for REAL SIMPLE magazine.

I am dreadful at listing and reviewing books I've read and reporting them on Goodreads. However, I am a compulsive reader -- I read 399 books (not counting fanfic or books for work) in 2015. I read almost exclusively on my Kindle, checking books out through OverDrive from my local library, buying books digitally, and with a subscription to Kindle Unlimited. Books I don't typically read digitally are non-fiction reference books (and of those, they're predominantly cookbooks). I also write fiction, but under a couple gender ambiguous pseudonyms.

[Ann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ok, two big weaknesses right up front:

1. This author unequivocally assumes that ALL readers (amen) work a 9 to 5 desk job. Maybe that's her primary audience, sure, but I at least wanted acknowledgement that the WHOLE UNIVERSE is not sitting in an office all day 5 days a week. Teachers? Nurses? Moms? Part-timers? Salespeople? Need I go on?

2. Completely unrealistic. As in, really, I'm going to pull everything out of my clothes closet, sort through, purge, reorganize all of it, and put it back in one morning BEFORE leaving for my 9 to 5 desk job? Really? No, not really. Her plan, while ordered well, is a recipe for disaster for anyone who truly has a lot of clutter to clear. Overwhelmed a feeling like a failure from day one? Not cool.

But, having said that, I love books like this. Especially in the nesting phase of a pregnancy. This one is full of great ideas and no-nonsense, be-a-responsible-adult advice. I love knowing that the author did, long ago, really have a problem with clutter, that she gets what clutter-bug people are dealing with.

So, I'm not going to spend 7 days overhauling my life and all its routines and structures, but I may take a few of her great and ideas and use them to work toward the "remarkable life" (her phrase) that I'm trying to build with my family.

[Sue Smith · Rating 2 out of 5]

Erin Doland has some good ideas, but - honestly - I think there's too many presumptions that you won't have any issues doing ANY of what she suggests. And to get it all together in a week is - well - good luck with that!!

That being said, I did glean some ideas to try to help curb some of my issues. So, if anything, this book was good for that. It's always nice to have a new angle to try. Now ..... I just have to get rid of my kids and I'll have a lot of my 'clutter' issues resolved! Hmmmm - may not need to clean as often either... or can maybe fit my laundry schedule into the one that Erin suggested (I had to wonder just how little laundry she accumulates). And then I'll get everyone to quit sending me useless gifts and voila! Cluttering resolved! Ha ha ha ha!!!!!

I stopped reading this. It was just too silly. And the "one week" thing, is of course, nonsense.

[Avid Series Reader · Rating 1 out of 5]

Unclutter Your Life in One Week by Erin Rooney Doland is based on the unlikely premise that you can completely reorganize and transform your life in one week. Even the author admits she could not do it all in one week, but rather over the course of 6 months. Since she feels there were 7 specific days during that 6-month span in which she accomplished the process, she asserts that someone else can do it all in one week. Hmm…is anyone’s life so empty that they can drop all other responsibilities for a continuous week? I’m thankful my life isn’t that empty.

Since the title starts with “Unclutter”, I expected an in-depth book on the nature of clutter, useful tips not only on getting rid of clutter, but on staying free of clutter. I was disappointed. The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin, for example, has more detail on the types of clutter than Unclutter Your Life in One Week. Doland’s concept of ‘unclutter’ is actually a set of control routines for life, work and play.

I agree with the author’s motto, “Less Stuff is Less Stress” – in the sense that ‘stuff’ has to be cleaned and stored. I do not agree with getting rid of favorite clothes a size smaller than your current size, if you would like to be that smaller size. The author proposes that you buy new clothes in your current size to replace your favorites. If money is no object that is possible, however it removes the incentive to reduce and wear your favorites. I also disagree with her recommendation to get rid of hobbies if you have not had time to enjoy them for a year. Who hasn’t been swamped at work and had to set aside hobbies for months, then struggled just to keep up with ordinary routines, but eventually caught up and enjoyed leisure time for hobbies again? The tremendous expense of discarding then re-purchasing a quilter’s stash, for example, tells me the author either does not have hobbies that require many supplies, or has unlimited spending money. In my closet, my suits and pumps are unworn for years since we dress casually at my current job, but I would never just throw expensive business clothes away, when I may need them for interviews in the future. If I were laid off, I would certainly not have unlimited funds for buying new clothes!

I liked her suggested system for Birthday Cards:
• Set up an index card file with tabs for each month of the year
• On 12 index cards, write down all birthdays in each month
• Buy all cards at once for the years’ birthdays
• File the monthly birthday list cards and the birthday cards for each month behind the monthly tabs
• On the first of each month: write greetings, address and stamp envelopes. Put sticky note on each envelope with the date to mail it.
• Keep on hand extra birthday cards and 10-15 congratulations cards (for anniversaries, new babies, new homes, weddings, graduations)
• Keep a roll of Forever stamps, a pen and sticky notes

I also like the author’s suggestion to make a list of the things you want to do…and do them. So many times the lists we make are only of the tasks we must do (and don’t especially like).
The cleaning checklists are humorously labeled as:
• Cleaning for the Busy Person
• Cleaning for the Dedicated Cleaner
• Cleaning for the Overachiever
I personally find the cleaning and organization tips on organizedhome.com to be more useful.

I just finished reading Unclutter Your Life in One Week! By Erin Rooney Doland. It was a very insightful, easy, and informative read. The practical insights she gives in her book are encouragement to a clutterer’s bones. However, implementing the methodology she gives to actually unclutter your life in the one-week timeframe would take every single moment of that week to achieve; but the way she organizes the book helps the reader see that it is much easier to unclutter their life if they do it in manageable chucks of time, not trying to become a neat-freak overnight.

Though much of the housework and chores section of each day can be used for every person, the daily sections on the work aspect of life are mainly for those with desk jobs. There is not much in there for those who work outside of an office (whether that be a physical office or a home office). But since I do work much of my time from the home office, I gained a lot of help from its pages.

Doland did a masterful job putting so much informative and practical insights at our fingertips, to be implemented on a daily basis. She motivates anyone who dares to turn the pages to “purge clutter” from their life, to be a “more efficient, productive, and focused worker,” and to create a “symbiotic relationship between [their] work life and [their] personal life” so that they enjoy all of life. This is definitely worth the few hours it will take you to read it.

[Stacia · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'd give this 2.5. There were a few helpful items in there, but overall this book didn't greatly appeal to me. First, her amount of clutter was not much (she was married, no kids, living in an 850 sq. ft. apt.) when writing this, so her timeline of a week is pretty unrealistic if you live in a larger place, have a larger family, etc.... Also, I think her methodology appeals to the list-making sorts of folks (not necessarily my style); I had a similar complaint about the book "The Happiness Project" (by a different author). She addresses both home & work life (which is helpful), but her plan to add it to your regular week (i.e., do a complete closet purge & clean-out before you head to work in the morning) is not very easy to implement, imo. Also, I think she doesn't address many of the reasons why people clutter (to help them overcome their stumbling blocks), leading me to think that the book doesn't necessarily offer a long-term, workable plan (unless you're pretty much streamlined & uncluttered to begin with). I do enjoy the unclutterer.com website, but didn't really care for the book.

[Erika Mathews · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome book with very practical decluttering advice for all major areas of life. Will reread and refer to this one again.

Will I unclutter my whole house in one week? No. I have small children. Will I use her tips over a longer period of time like the author did? Definitely.

And will I use her sections on work/office when I don’t have an office outside the home? Some of it. I’ll translate it to managing my home command center and ignore what doesn’t apply.

All in all, I loved the way this book breaks things down and very practically gives the steps to declutter each area one at a time and then maintain that over a longer period of time.

[Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book really worked for me as someone who loves checklists and would prefer to skip the long story lines in self help books. I think the set up of this book really helped me for moving to a new city; apartment and starting a new job: mt desk is clean, I got rid of half a hamper of clothes (even after I purged in June before moving), and bought some storage containers to make my life at work a little bit easier.‘ it also reminded me to start thinking about how I’m going to store my winter stuff like hats and scarves and getting a door mat and wet shoes mat for the winter! If you like self help and cleaning or want to become more organized I recommend it

[Gwen · Rating 2 out of 5]

I think "uncluttering your life in one week" is a little too ambitious to feasibly be done well, but this book was able to help me work through two major clutter issues I have: books and clothes.

Each day of the week is divided into thirds: morning, work, and evening. I found the "work" sections to be less than convincing (it's a standard collection of "clear off your desk," "prioritize email," etc., that so many other books have done...and done better), but the sections for the home were much better.

I'm a HUGE book lover, but I've slowly come to realize that just because I love books doesn't mean I have to physically own books, no matter how good they look on a bookshelf or how much I want to read them--if I don't actually read them more than once, they're just taking up space. "If you've never read the complete works of Shakespeare, and you never plan to read the complete works of Shakespeare, get rid of the complete works of Shakespeare." (167) Or in my case, the complete works of Jane Austen...in hardback...when I can get reasonably good copies for my Kindle. Thanks to the advice of this book, I was able to weed my collection to keep only the books that I know and love and reread. To be given to friends, donated, or sold on Amazon: paperbacks I read a few times, books that I liked but were never going to be reread, and books used for grad school but will never EVER use again.

As for clothes, this book made me realize that I was folding my clothes wrong for my style of 'processing'--I need to be able to SEE all my clothes in order to wear them evenly. In the traditional method of stacking shirts, etc., in drawers, you only see the first shirt and have to paw through the stack to find the one you need. And then when you do laundry and replace the clothes in the draw, you tend to stack the just washed ones right on top--so you keep wearing the same ones over and over. But if you fold them so that the center design is in the middle and you can see ALL the shirts, it not only looks neater but you can easily pick out which one you need. Pure genius, and I spent the better part of last night refolding all my shirts this way...

Despite computers promising to reduce our dependence on paper, I find that I have far too much paperwork to handle easily, and I have a tendency to keep EVERYTHING, on the off-chance that I might need it at some point in the future.

Doland classifies paperwork into two categories:
1) CYA--taxes, government paperwork, etc.
2) Extended Knowledge--info you wish you were able to keep in your brain but don't...also for paperwork that someone else would need if you're not around. (Manuals, research, etc.)

I'm really good with #1, but because of grad school (so much research and notes and papers!), I'm not doing too well on keeping #2 weeded of the extraneous stuff.

To weed out unneeded paperwork, Doland has a handy list to follow (paraphrased from 76):

1) If I get rid of this, will bad consequences happen? (Lose job, get sued, go to jail?)
2) Do I want to have the knowledge at my fingertips or will I have a difficult time finding the information again?
2) Will keeping this paperwork make it easier for someone else if I'm not available?

Overall, some fantastic ideas, but the scope of the book is too broad to fulfill the expectations as set out in the title. As I was reading, a lot of the advice sounded as if I were reading "Real Simple"--for which the author writes, as I found out on the author bio part of the book flap.

[Erica · Rating 2 out of 5]

Let's talk about a few ironies, such as this book that was supposed to take a week to read actually took six, and that's only because I couldn't renew it anymore from the library. (My guess is that "continually renewing library books because it's easier than taking them back" is not a recommended trait for uncluttered people.) The other irony is that I followed the Unclutterer blog for a while, until it cluttered up my google reader and I decided I needed simplicity.

I had a bit of a roller coaster relationship with this one. When I got to the part about how I was putting my career at risk because of my messy desk, I was like, EFF YOU BOOK and refused to read it. Then I cleaned my desk at work the next day. I skipped the enlightening parts about how my smart phone could save me time and space, and most of the ideas relating to normal 9-5 desk jobs. When I sort of liked the book (at the beginning), I briefly considered adopting a "uniform" until I realized this takes ALL THE FUN out of planning any outfit. I just laughed when I got to the part about always getting gas for the car on Saturday mornings because apparently, if you live the uncluttered life you become a robot who always needs gas on Saturdays and can never deviate from any routine. FUN!

Sure, there are some decent ideas in here but they could be summed up with common sense, such as: get rid of clothes you don't wear! And books you don't need! Figure out when you are most productive during the day! Have a place to put your keys and mail! Clean on a regular basis because cleanliness will help you feel settled! I get that if you are a very important person you need a lot of systems to manage everything, and as it turns out, I'm pretty happy with both my level of importance and organization in life, thanks.

I am constantly (or so it seems) trying to declutter a house that almost immediately refills itself (or un-organizes itself) as a result of the other 4 occupants. We have different priorities and different ideas of what constitutes "clutter".

The book really is a one-week guide - and, if you spend the week doing those tasks, you'd likely come fairly close to getting it all in order. There are some sections that the author admits may take longer to get through; one week is the "best case scenario".

Although I'm not currently working in an office - at least, not one where I'm stationed regularly - I found the daily tips for office/business organization to be helpful. (I've never had an issue organizing myself there, however, since no one generally appeared to mess up my desk/drawers/computer while I was working!) It would certainly be helpful for someone who needs some guidance.

The checklists, tips and humour made it well-worth reading. The small section at the end about how to live with people who don't share your desire/vision for uncluttering was also quite helpful.

All told, a friendly, gentle, non-scary way to start getting your life in order!

[DDog · Rating 4 out of 5]

I bought this book on the strength of the Unclutterer.com website, and it was worth the money. Only giving it a 4 for now because I haven't yet tried any of the tips in the book, but at least on an initial read-through it seems fairly intuitive and helpful. It's definitely an easy read, and has some good heuristics for reducing "stuff" to "things I need" and ditching the stuff that's not on that list, which I definitely need help with. Combined with things like Getting Things Done, The Now Habit, and [ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life:], it appears to have a good program for getting rid of clutter and welcoming serenity.

[Megan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let's get one thing straight: if you find your life cluttered enough that you need to read a book about how to remedy the situation, one five-day week (!) is not a realistic time frame from you to clear your life. Particularly, you cannot empty your closet, go through your wardrobe from top to bottom and clear it out on Monday morning before work. I nearly took the book back to the library in the first chapter when I realized that was what she was suggesting. The book also assumes you are doing almost nothing BUT clearing clutter for the entirety of the five-day week.
And Doland doesn't even whisper about the emotional aspect of clutter and hoarding it, which surprised me, since she freely admits that it used to rule her life.
That said, this book is great as a kind of manual for someone who is raring to clear their clutter but doesn't know where to begin. It also gives a good timeline to keep yourself moving, even if it's a bit unrealistic to be taken literally.

[Aliesha · Rating 1 out of 5]

Ridiculous premise.

For example, Monday morning *before work*, clean out and organize your bedroom closet. 22 pages are devoted to this task, but somehow it's a "Monday morning, before work" item.

I should've stopped reading then.

[Jessica · Rating 3 out of 5]

As someone who likes to organize and often declutters, there wasn't a ton of revolutionary ideas. The author admits that it took less than a day, each day, but sporadically over 6 months for her to accomplish these feats. She also presumes we all work 9-5 office jobs so there was a good chunk that wasn't applicable to me. I will say that it was laid out nicely for a decluttering beginner, in simple logical terms, the hows, whys, tips, and checklists for simplifying--though unnecessary for me. There were a few nuggets that I'm storing away, like creating a practical reception station or entryway, where you can drop extra coins, file or shred documents. Most valuable to me was the chapter on papers and documents. She explains the why and how to store documents, physically or digitally in an organized efficient manner, for me or for the person using the system.

[Rhegan · Rating 3 out of 5]

While the one week bit is pretty unrealistic there are a lot of helpful tips and checklists. Nothing sticks out as a new amazing idea. Some things were overly simplified. It did motivate me to clean out some spaces. Debating if I'll keep as a resource or pass along.

[Caro Anderson · Rating 2 out of 5]

The title is wrong and sets the reader up for failure.  The tasks in this book clearly can’t be done in a week.  Even the book doesn’t believe it’s possible to do it all in a week.  Some of the tasks in the book involve analyzing one’s patterns over a week or two!

For anyone with clutter (and that is why someone would read this book, right?), the tasks in this book would take a month or two of concerted effort.  It's hard for me to find a benevolent logic behind a self help book that sets the reader up for failure.

The “life clutter” information was fluffy and offensively judgmental.  While I didn’t mind the “life clutter” topics of scheduling and productivity, by the time I got to travel, I decided the “life clutter” topics were padding (indeed, clutter) to get the book to a particular word count.

I also felt like the “life clutter” section was the author’s way of getting on her soap box and telling readers how they should live their lives.  Getting to work late on a regular basis?  Unacceptable.  Being unproductive at work?  Unacceptable.  Having a meeting that doesn’t meet the author’s rules?  Inappropriate.

In my opinion, telling readers that their actions are unacceptable, particularly without knowing anything about them, is offensive.  Not living life the way the author thinks you should live it isn’t illegal or immoral.  Besides, this is a self help book where someone has identified a need (or deficiency) in their life.  I see no reason to put down a reader who made the effort to read the book.

For a summary of the book, see my blog at self help book reports . com.

I am a minimalist by nature and I do not like to have too many things. I am always looking for tips and hints on how to achieve a simple lifestyle where I can keep the things that matter most to me (some sentimental, some useful, etc) while keeping our tiny home organized and functional.

I am married to a collector (or, as I like to say, a "maximumlist") who I adore dearly, but to my way of thinking has too many "things". I also have a tween son who seems to be overly attached to many of his possessions. My battle against clutter not of my doing is constant and so I read this book to help me find some advice to give to those I love.

Living a simple, uncluttered life takes effort... but it is worth it. What I like about this book is that it gives you practical advice, combined with insights of what you might be feeling as you unclutter. It has good examples and stories as well as charts and lists of questions to ask as you sort through items you own.

I think if you were truly to unclutter you life in one week you were a "collector" it would take a lot of dedication and an iron will (plus a weeks vacation time from work). I think the more practical way to tackle it would be to do it in 7 weeks and do one day of decluttering per week.

I definitely recommend this book.

My husband bought this book for me because it's an on-going issue with both of us, and the title caught his eye. Aha! Unclutter Your Life in One Week, the author promised us. I hate to confess - no offense - she lied! It's impossible - even the way she lays things out. How about 7 years, instead of 7 days? She does have some great ideas, and she does know what she's doing - but, getting there is a full-time job - for a while, and even keeping things the way she suggests that you do, takes lots of time and effort. My gut reaction: I was overwhelmed, discouraged, and felt totally inadequate. Even like a "bad" person, for how my husband and I live. I became depressed and had a mini-meltdown the first night that I started reading the book. Later on after I decided that I wasn't either obligated to finish the book, or to do what she said, I felt much better. I decided to finish the book and came away with a couple of insights and a few good ideas for a very few things that I could and/or can do to chip away at my chaos, so I guess that's positive. In short, if you decide to read this book, do it in small doses, and realize that you might not be able to do everything she recommends.

[Ashley · Rating 2 out of 5]

I really like the Unclutterer website but so far (~halfway through) I'm not impressed by the book. It's far too cut and dry, and it assumes readers have A LOT of money to spend on their uncluttering and organizing process. Also, the "in one week" part of the title is, as you might have expected, completely gimmicky. On Monday morning, before going to work, I'm supposed to pull out all of the clothes I own, wash everything that's dirty, sort everything once, and then do a second sort as I return all of the "keep" clothing to its proper place? Really? With a walk-in closet, a full dresser, and bins for out of season clothes I might be able to complete that in one full day, maybe. If I had so few clothes I could feasibly do a full sort in the morning (before work!), I probably wouldn't need to be reading this book.

***

After finishing this, my earlier feelings are still true. I'm very disappointed that this didn't live up to my expectations. And I'm very glad that I checked it out from the library and didn't spend any money on it! I'll stick with the website.

[Misty · Rating 2 out of 5]

COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC. I LOVE to organize. Yet the thought of doing all the things this author suggests in the span of one week is totally nuts. Organizing takes energy, both mentally and physically. Trying to clean up your life at home AND at work in 7 days is a strategy destined for failure. I can't imagine anyone having the motivation it would take to tackle all of these to-do lists in a month, let alone a week.

Also, this book is a weird mish-mash of topics ranging from how to lead a business meeting to how to pack for vacation. With that said, the author does have good tips and approaches for clearing clutter. I like her spring and fall cleaning check lists to create routines for taking care of your home.

There is some good content here, just recognize that these ideas only make sense if done in a realistic time frame.

[Janet · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is best for those who either have a serious clutter problem or are very disorganized. Of course you'd have to be really organized to begin with to accomplish all that she suggests in a mere week! But she does ask readers to address the psychological reasons behind their clutter and disorganization and then offers suggestions for evaluating your routines that might be getting in the way. If you haven't already naturally settled into what works for you, this book offers some good common sense suggestions for getting a functioning system in place.

[Maren · Rating 2 out of 5]

There are two reasons this book didn't do much for me.

1. The author doesn't have children.
2. I do.

I did write down about 5 tips that I am interested in trying, but a lot of it seemed pretty self-explanatory. (Pull out all your stuff, organize it into piles, then store it in an organized way. Use Google Calendar to organize your schedule. Genius stuff like that.) I think her point is there is no getting around the elbow grease of doing it. Maybe I was hoping for a magic solution and that is why I was disappointed.

[Mary Case · Rating 5 out of 5]

I did not participate in this book as suggested but I still loved it. I got lots of great tips and suggestions that I never thought of before.

I already have a pretty organized house but love to read and re read books on this subject. I find reading them without the pressure of following along makes for better absrption of the material.

A bit of advice for those just starting to organize: just start small with what you're comfortable with and try not to burden yourself with what you think you should do. Try to enjoy what you can do and make it fun.

[Emilia P · Rating 3 out of 5]

I just wanted to read this book because the wait for the new hot book by that Japanese lady has an enorous waitlist at the library and also Mairead recommended this. Ahhhh I want to get rid of all the stuff. Which is laughable. I do not have very much stuff. But it multiplies so quickly! Blargh! This was pretty practical, and technical, and not alot of new stuff -- the whole "a place for everything and everything in it's place" is kind of a good way to think of things, and remember them. Even if those places are a little funky. Ah, well. Speedy read.

[Gayle · Rating 2 out of 5]

I'm a big fan of organizing and tips on simplfying life. I love Doland's blog, The Unclutter, and much of this book captures her daily mantras from the blog. I found it a little far fetched that all she discribes can be done in one solid week. I suppose if you stayed home for that time and that's all you did, but I don't think it's realistic to think you can completely unclutter your LIFE in just a few days. Take a good crack at it? Yes. But a total change?

[Meera · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is a quick instructional read. The chapters well categorised. There are some good suggestions and very practical ones, but nothing really new. If you need organizing and don’t know where to start, the book should be of help. The schedule to clear all the clutter at home and in your workplace seems unrealistic.

I don't know what I expected from a book with this title. But it was hilariously vague, and ridiculously formatted. I gave up in the middle of the Tuesday chapter.
