Let Go of Clutter

Rating:
Summary: Another gem from Miracle Worker Harriet Schechter
Review: This book about clutter is written in a humourous style which will inspire you to clean up the clutter in your life. I like her use of Latin to describe various disorganizational illnesses. She explains the past, present and future of clutter: how you got there (past), what to do about it (present), and how to avoid it (future). There are overviews at the beginning of each chapter, summaries at the end, and checklists all over to make it easy for you to understand her points.

Summary: full of solid, practical tips
Review: This is a workbook, complete with checklists, that will help you assess & conquer your clutter problems. I've read many books on this subject; this is one of the better ones. I found her sections on "purging papers" to be particularly useful -- as papers are often an overwhelming problem area. Schecter also discusses the value of being choosy, and give tips on how to maintain a clutter-controlled environment once you've established it. I found this to be a useful tool book, with solid, practical tips. For motivation to get started decluttering, for inspiration and funny (as in "yikes, that sounds like me") stories about people with serious clutter issues, read Don Aslett's "Packrat" and "Clutter" books -- they're very entertaining & you'll want to stop every chapter or so to clean out a drawer or closet. Follow up Aslett with this book, which has more practical tips
