How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind: Dealing with Your House's Dirty Little Secrets | Dana K. White

pick

An interesting look at decluttering. This takes a different approach to many other books of similar style and yet it's a method that could work. I liked the simplicity of it and can see myself using some of the tips featured in it especially the dishes as seen by my clear worktop. 3*

DogMomIrene She definitely keeps cleaning in good perspective. I‘m a perfectionist so shifting from the desire to have the perfectly cleaned home like it‘s a one and done kind of task to the more realistic view that cleaning is an ongoing task, everyday, was really helpful for me. 3w

kezzlou85 @DogMomIrene she does we've just moved to a bigger house and it can feel overwhelming at times but this book helped put it back in perspective for me. 3w

DogMomIrene @kezzlou85 If you want a refresh on her big ideas in another 6 months or year, check out . There‘s much less explanation of her ideas so it‘s less repetitive. It cuts to the point.

This was a really interesting and useful read. I could never be this minimal especially not with books and stationery but it did put me in the mood to reorganise my pantry and wardrobe. 5* #WinterGames2024 #HolidayBookDragons @LiseWorks

Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up | Marie Kondo

I Marie-Kondo‘ed by TBR-list. I went through every book and deleted all the ones that didn‘t make me want to read them. I‘m still at 130. But I am very excited about all of them.

The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning: How to Free Yourself and Your Family from a Lifetime of Clutter | Margareta Magnusson

I found this book delightful and informative and I‘ll put what she said in good use in the near future. Will try not to accumulate too much stuff (already failed with books and clothes)…

Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff | Dana K. White

pick

An interesting read filled with useful tips and advice on how to declutter rather than organise your house. Her two step rule is clever and did get me thinking. 3*

AlaSkaat I‘d like to say my OCD has made me an expert at organising and decluttering. But then I remember that I threw out my bed, tv and clothes in one of my decluttering projects, so I‘d say maybe not. Lol. This could be interesting 3mo

nanuska_153 My partner would love if I read this, I do love stuff 😅 3mo

kezzlou85 @AlaSkaat it's quite helpful. It's a couple of basic steps that you can use for things. 3mo

kezzlou85 @nanuska_153 my husband is the hoarder but he still argues he might need it. 3mo

nanuska_153 @kezzlou85 for me is not that I might need it,they are not useful things,it's the personal attachment that I have to them: toys,books,leaflets,pretty stones from a holiday...The root of the problem is: his parents are hoarders;my mom donated lots of my most precious childhood possessions (even while I was a child), she even donated a book that my granny bought me after she passed away because it was for smaller kids.We are both overcompensating😅 3mo
