Author: Dana K. White
Genre: Nonfiction, Organization, Self-Help, Inspirational, Cleaning
Plot: Minimalism is the trend right now and many of us can clearly see why. But for the rest of us, all that open space and lack of stuff feels intimidating, hard to achieve and discouraging when we are surrounded by our clutter. Maybe we've read the books, bought the shiny new containers and thrown out a bag or two of unwanted items but still find ourselves stuck with no floor space and a sense of overwhelming stuff. Maybe we have kids or a shopping addiction.
Regardless of why we have so much stuff, we can agree that we'd like to be a bit more organized and could probably use some tips on how to get to the point in our head where we can actually use the dining table for eating instead of laundry storage. But we don't necessarily want to live on the bare minimum of stuff either. This book is the answer to our struggle. So settle down and start realistically decluttering your life today.
Likes/Dislikes: I read a lot of organizational books, including The Magic of Tidying Up and this particular book held potential for being neat and unique but fell flat, sadly. The only real revolutionary idea it contained was the idea that a container sets a limit on just how much of something you can actually own. Beyond that, it was excruciatingly painful to read because it was so incredibly repetitive. We understand that you had so much stuff that you couldn't live in your house and probably should've been on the hoarders show. Now please stop reminding us every paragraph.
Rating: PG-13 and up, mainly for reading level. It's a nonfiction book on organizing so very clean.
