Welcome to Litsy!

Sounds like @Eggs and I are on the same wavelength. It‘s an ongoing project, but I‘ve been decluttering. The “reward” is that I‘ve found some childhood books I was looking for. 😃

That didn‘t last nearly long enough but at least I‘m younger than when the author said you really need to start thinking about people dealing with your crap once you are dead. My parents, bless their hearts, totally dealt with their stuff ahead of time.

I laughed at this section probably more than I should have. 😂 Been decluttering preparing for a move that is going to be happening either in August or September so mortality has been peek-a-booing around every corner. 💀🪦🫠

A really interesting look at getting rid of things. Lots of tips and methods for deciding what to keep. A simple easy read. Though I disagree about the book parts. You can never have too many. 4*

An interesting look at tackling clutter and chaos in life. I loved the toothbrush theory as it makes so much sense. Really useful and gives you actual exercises to help get started. 4*

My #DoubleSpin for February was nice to read, but there were no mindset-shifting insights like I heard so many other readers have had. I did notice that there is another book with the same title but by Margaret Smith, and even the covers look similar so I wonder if I read the wrong book and everyone in the Minimalism community was raving about the other one? At least it's #OffMyShelf.

I will admit that I‘m not the person who this book is meant for as I‘m generally pretty good at keeping my house neat. That being said, I agree with her advice to start small like doing the dishes every day. I find her decluttering advice is more helpful so I like her other book just focused on that better. She does also get repetitive at times, which happens when you convert a blog to a book. Bonus pic is my boy Happy just loving the sun ☀️

An interesting look at decluttering. This takes a different approach to many other books of similar style and yet it's a method that could work. I liked the simplicity of it and can see myself using some of the tips featured in it especially the dishes as seen by my clear worktop. 3*

A thought provoking gentle look at the art of death cleaning. It's a clever idea and would benefit family members after a death. It's full of tips that could relate to any age group and has made me think more about what I have.
