At first glance it seems wildy inefficient to take out of place items to their final place right in the middle of things. In Decluttering at the Speed of Life, I’m putting my decluttering strategies into thorough, step-by-step instructions to help you work through your clutter, no matter how overwhelmed you feel. Decluttering is simply getting rid of stuff starting first with the most visible spaces in your house. Now, a lot of that is about being stressed and feeling a time crunch but it also really hit at some very clear issues that the author mentions that I share and I related to so much of what she talks about as the whys. Yes, I can have such-and-such a number of some thing--but only as much as the drawer or the shelf will contain.

But if you want a great start, I'd go straight to the books, which are more concise and more organized. This can be pantry items because we feel guilty tossing food or clothes when someone may be going without.

After the acknowledgments, there was an excerpt [2-chapters] from the author’s How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind.

So the book and its concepts do have some staying power, which is impressive for books in this genre.

The approach was a non-emotional method of coming to terms with the space you live in and living within that space. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend this book for anyone struggling to come up for air from beneath their mountains of stuff. In Decluttering at the Speed of Life, decluttering expert and author Dana White identifies the mind-sets and emotional challenges that make it difficult to declutter. Her system is great for someone (like her former self) who just doesn't understand how they acquired so much stuff and why they can't keep it all.So, when I say that I found THE book for me that helped me approach my house in a completely different way, I know of which I speak. I realized that I never wore the huge, bulky, hand-made, six-foot gifts because they made me feel like a hippopotamus. It’s very easy to dip into kind of book and is written in a sensible truthful and humorous down-to-earth manner. While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing.
