Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff

Product Information

There is also practical decluttering advice that can be applied to helping older family members, kids or even friends declutter. I had watched "Nony" on YouTube many times, but (very wrongly) thought her books wouldn't have much substance. I plan to read this book a second time as it inspired me to actually donate six bags and boxes of household items to a local charity. The author is witty and self deprecating and it was a fun read, read mostly for a challenge on Habitica. Yes, I can have such-and-such a number of some thing--but only as much as the drawer or the shelf will contain.

And I talk through those steps in specific rooms of your home, busting through the excuses I know you have because I have them, too. Start with the easy stuff--take out the garbage, do the recycling, move as many of the things as you can without having to make big decisions. So you watch your friends and wonder how in the world they're NOT stressed out and confused like you are?I know that not everyone has the same access to donation or waste diversion resources, but I think it's worth making a bit of a effort where we can. Whether you have five minutes, five hours, or five days to spend decluttering, you can make real progress in your home. Without giving away the spoilery stuff (the actual formula- Decluttering at the Speed of Life), I'll say that she approaches her house in a layer approach: Daily Stuff, Clutter, and Cleaning. However, they’re all boys, not sentimental in the least, and they don’t care about any of it… absolutely none of it!

And that totally logical thinking was how I ended up in a place where I couldn’t function in my own home. She also covers the guilt of keeping something put away that was gifted by a good friend or relation when you don't really like it and/or don't ever use it. After talking about a decluttering mindset, Dana then gives you step by step decluttering instructions for every room in your home as well as decluttering tips pertinent to that specific space.So if you are a real person with a real home I reckon you would find this book helpful, as well as encouraging and funny! The aim of just using the container and not having to be emotional about every single object as I go is a target I can see myself hiting.
