It is fascinating to read a different way of organising myself. I have already used some of her ideas - she’s good at looking at things in a different way to other declutterers and organisers. I like decluttering without mess! It works for me.
YOU MUST HAVE THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE AN ARTISTIC PERSON.

If you have read her books before, this gives you reminders of what to do on those overwhelmed days when you look at the remaining piles of stuff in your house and are thinking 'Oh no, what was that thing I read in that book? cause that tip would really help right now, gah!'
Unlike some other decluttering experts, the author has come from being a hoarder of stuff herself. Her experience is what I like most about her books.
She understands and talks through the emotional and psychological reasons/excuses we give ourselves to why we cannot throw something away and talks about other ways of trying to think about the stuff, reusing the stuff and practical ways to change our hoarding habits.
She is the narrator for all her Audible books. She talks in a friendly, down to earth manner and with an infectious positive energy. They are great to listen to, and to listen to for motivation when you are actually doing some decluttering and cleaning.
Her principles have helped me hone my own system and helped so much in finding the words to communicate with my own family about dehoarding, decluttering and changing how we live in and use our home - such as accessibility / user-ability and the container concept. Her books have given me a plan and hope of finally making our way out of the hoarding.
Finally, go read her other books too and find her on YouTube.
Happy Decluttering!
Great! It contained only good stuff

Love this book for motivation

However I love that it’s got all of the steps in one place and it’s quick and succinct. Every nugget of information I have learnt is all in one place.
I like to play this whilst decluttering, picking up and cleaning. I find it reassuring in the moment when it all feels crazy to know that I know what to do. I’m literally being talked through the process as I’m doing it.
If you haven’t read the other books then this will give you a quick guide to all of the best bits without needing to read the background (which I love). You can jump straight into cracking on and improving your home.
Useful as a reference guide/recap if read other books
