Welcome to Litsy!

My #DoubleSpin for February was nice to read, but there were no mindset-shifting insights like I heard so many other readers have had. I did notice that there is another book with the same title but by Margaret Smith, and even the covers look similar so I wonder if I read the wrong book and everyone in the Minimalism community was raving about the other one? At least it's #OffMyShelf.

I will admit that I‘m not the person who this book is meant for as I‘m generally pretty good at keeping my house neat. That being said, I agree with her advice to start small like doing the dishes every day. I find her decluttering advice is more helpful so I like her other book just focused on that better. She does also get repetitive at times, which happens when you convert a blog to a book. Bonus pic is my boy Happy just loving the sun ☀️

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*

A thought provoking gentle look at the art of death cleaning. It's a clever idea and would benefit family members after a death. It's full of tips that could relate to any age group and has made me think more about what I have.

This was such a handy read as we were getting ready to move and was full of useful tips.

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

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.

My week has been complicated. Here are the five little wins this week:
1. Opened up my Etsy shop with blind book dates - working on the rebrand and getting the word out
2. Loving stickers on Kindle cover
3. Chloe Okoye being a weirdo and making me laugh
4. My son got a honey citrus mint tea for my cough

5. D&D Lego I bit this week

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)…

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*
