Story
"The dirty little secret about most organizing advice is that it's written by organized people," says blogger, speaker, and decluttering expert Dana K. White. "But that's not how my brain works. I'm lost on page three." Dana blogs at A Slob Comes Clean, chronicling her successes and failures with her self-described "deslobification process". In the beginning she used the name Nony (short for aNONYmous), because she was sharing her deep, dark slob secret. Now she has truly come clean - with not only her real name but the strategies she has developed.

While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, real women with real families who are constantly growing and changing simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is a home that is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

We are drowning in paper. We keep stacks of it on the kitchen counter, stash it in drawers, and stuff file cabinets full of documents (just one file cabinet can hold 18,000 sheets of paper - yikes). Despite this clear crisis of paper, there hasn't been a book devoted to managing and organising this single most abundant item in our homes - until now. In The Paper Solution, Lisa Woodruff delivers a proven, step-by-step guide to decluttering the paper in our lives and sorting what's left behind into easily accessible, structured and, most importantly, manageable files.

This new volume, with over 150 concrete ideas, approaches the problem of how to best organise our possessions with Gretchen Rubin's characteristic clarity and humour.

In The Happiness Project, Gretchen Rubin worked out general theories of happiness. Here she goes deeper on factors that matter for home, such as possessions, marriage, time and parenthood. How can she control the cubicle in her pocket? How might she spotlight her family's treasured possessions? And it really was time to replace that dud toaster. And what does she want from her home? A place that calms her and energises her. A place that, by making her feel safe, will free her to take risks. Also, while Rubin wants to be happier at home, she wants to appreciate how much happiness is there already.

All this clutter causes us mental anguish. However, as we all know, throwing things away can be difficult - it clashes with the values instilled in us from an early age of not wasting things, reusing items and keeping things 'for a rainy day'. Simply put, we feel guilty about getting rid of things. Enter Nagisa Tatsumi and her bold suggestion - that it's okay to throw stuff away.

Real Advice For Real Mom’s
I have read lots of cleaning, organizing, purging, minimalist books and was in search of a book that didn’t just explain what “being organized” meant or how I needed to change my lifestyle. 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. I will recommend it to all my mom friends, not just the ones that need help organizing but all moms.

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

Great book!
I love Clutterbug! Cass had made organizing so much more relatable! I do NOT care for the voice doing the narrative.. No offense but I love watching the Clutterbug Youtube videos and I hate that she wasn’t allowed to read her own books for the audio version! Nobody could do it justice like she can.

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.
