A book to get you off the couch
OK, I'd rather read about de-cluttering than actually do the work. But this is one book that inspired me to stop thinking and start DOING. Helen starts with her own story, guides us gently (but firmly) to confront the whys and wherefores, and get us moving - in an enjoyable, non-threatening, effective way. I thought that throwing things out made me wasteful - but hoarding when others are needy is far worse. Now, five words I never thought I'd say: you should see my kitchen!
Nice solutions!
I like to use this book with some of my clients, because of the integral worksheets, and the step-by-step problem solving. Its nice having the questions & the answers all in one place, so they're less likely to be lost.Helen's breezy, upbeat style makes for an uplifting read, which can be helpful to clients who are feeling overwhelmed by their stuff.
Focus
Helen's book is succinct, offers clear guidelines describing how to get started with the decluttering process, and explores reasons that keep people stuck. The exercises keep you focussed on the project at hand, and decluttering is broken down into small steps so that it's less overwhelming.
