I really enjoyed this book. I have been listening to the podcast for several years and the book just collates a lot of the wisdom from the podcast into easy digestible chunks. I have found the daily tasks have helped me to manage my home, although I am still not convinced laundry day works yet.

Daily tasks make a difference!

Loved it. Lots of super simple but super practical advice.
Reason for 4 stars for the story is that a lot of the content is very similar to her other book, “Decluttering At The Speed Of Life.” However, I still found it to be very helpful, and any repetition just reinforced what I had learnt from that book.

Great
