Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin?

Meh book
Lots of waffling and repetition I felt.
I also thought it was a low blow to talk about Marie Kondos method in a negative way even though she doesnt name her its obvious and yet Cassandra later uses similar phrases and language that Marie does. Not cool.
I did get a few helpful tips here and there but sounded like a long blog post than a book and lots of personal story detracts from info on decluttering and organising.

Wow am I impressed!
This book is so spot on it’s freaky. She knew my organising style and gave loads of tasks and ideas to fix it. Already I’ve told 7 friends who struggle as well. Best book I read in at least 3 years and I read a lot of book. It simple and easy to do tasks to correct your weaknesses and gives great storage ideas. All I can say is it’s so complete you couldn’t add anything else to it.

Give your home a hug and it will love you back
This book goes through an overview of different clutter personalities and how to adapt for each. The reader completes a quick questionnaire which helps them determine where on the clutter spectrum they sit. This was interesting as it helped explain why I am different as opposed to my husband or child. I believe it could help other readers too. Cassandra also talks about how to adapt cleaning and storage solutions to each of the personalities.
The part that I really did like was her daily checklists and about giving love to your home. When you give your home a hug it will love you back and it will change you. I love all things manifestation and karma and spiritual and this book somewhat delivered that also (albeit at a smaller scale).
I will try and read more books by this author.

I wanted someone to tell me where to start and how to do it. I love this Book and will read it/listen to it again and again.

Very helpful, great book!
This is a very good book if you're looking to create your own system for a Clutter-Free home/life.
You'll find very practical, down to earth advice and suggestions, but what I found truly special was that it contains a way to determine which clutter/organizing style you have.
That's incredibly helpful for families where different people have different styles and concecions have to be made so that the family could live a Clutter-Free life together.
It helps you better understand yourself and your family.
I couldn't recommend it more, it's just a really helpful, fantastic organizing book!
+the humor and the honesty throught it made for a lovely reading experience

Decluttering ideas that work
Feeling overwhelmed with clutter in the house. We have 6 kids which can accumulate alot. We needed something that would work so I found Cass'sYouTube channel and followed her there. I realized that she had an audio book too so I listened and can relate to alot of what she is saying. I highly recommend this audiobook because she tells you how she has overcome and what she learned along the way to help us with similar issues.

Not for people already into organizing
The writer constantly alienates and even insults people who enjoy and are already functioning organizers. I was hoping for some new tips and tricks but felt antagonized. The author is constantly referencing that they will get to the meat of the book later on, and repeats themselves frequently. If you are trying to start tackling your messy home and need a place to start, im sure this book is more approachable than others, but it wasnt for me.

Somewhat useful, but aimed at the wealthy
‘Throw out ten shirts you don’t wear, a bathing suit and three pairs of pyjamas!’ ‘You can always replace stuff!’ - I own two shirts and two pairs of pyjamas. I have no spare swimsuit, and no, if I throw something out I can’t replace it easily.
‘The basement, garage and laundry room are great places to store stuff for six months!’ - If you own a flipping mansion.
Also, the idea of purging everything by throwing it out or donating it, without thinking about it, is unconscionable. OK you might need to at first. But the cycle of acquiring and disposing is what needs to stop. Don’t buy stuff! Half the time donating is just code for dumping your horrible crap on someone else.
There is some good advice in here but it does seem to come from a very narrow viewpoint.

Great book for anyone that wants a tidy home
I genuinely recommend this book as a must-read for anyone that wants a de-cluttered, clean, and tidy home. it's full of tips and tricks to suit the average person with the average home. Some repetition from her other book but not too much. The quiz does not read well as an audiobook so I highly recommend pausing the book and doing the quiz on the website then tuning back in once you know what Clutterbug you are.

Great ideas, systems and insight.
One of the things I found most helpful was how to recognise the different personality types when it comes to organising/tidying your home and how to develop techniques that mesh the different types so that it works for all.
Loved the part about facilitating and encouraging children to be independent so that you are not their forever slave (….into adulthood!)
