[Michelle Guffey · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book really focuses on getting rid of the clutter, and goes room by room to help you see things more clearly. The best chapters are the 1st ones to motivate you to let go of your stuff. Being a saver, it is like a pep talk for me before I try to de clutter. The later chapters are not as helpful to me, though they might be for someone else. I own this book if you want to borrow it.

I think that I really agree with what the author has to say. She just makes it seem a little easier than it is. She is pretty brutal about getting rid of things. Perhaps I just need to hire her to come to my home and go on a vacation. I guess motivation is the key.

I have used a lot of her ideas to get more organized, especially in the kitchen.
