Outstanding Book
|
|
This book is excellent and helping people deal with the psychological aspects of throwing things away. Sue Kay has done a degree in psychology, and her excellent ability as a psychologist is evident in this book. She has dealt with all the cliches that hoarders come up with such as 'I'd better keep this it might come in useful', 'I'll keep it because someone else in my family might need it,''I'll keep these clothes as I might loose weight and fit back into them.' (If you want examples of her tips then go to her website and see for yourself). I cannot praise this book highly enough. I think Sue Kay should be given a Nobel Prize, or something to that effect, for her services to people who are overwhelmed by their complusive hoarding.

A comprehensive guide to decluttering
|
|
I bought this book as a guide to de-cluttering my spare room this summer. It has been very useful indeed. It has some great sections such as: how to organise a decluttering session and the toughest decluttering challenges. With the tips from this book I have been able to organise all the paperwork, books, files and papers that I have accumulated over the last 4 years and put them into a sensible order. It has made a big difference! Sue's common sense guide has been indispensible.

Worth every penny!

I bought this book as I had a desperate need to declutter and not a clue how to, and the reviews already on amazon were so good. Well the book is one of the best purchases I have ever made as it has definitely achieved its goal, is very user and reader friendly, and I found it fascinating reading too! It really is worth buying, just don't get distracted into reading it and then not doing! As it gives you exercises to do, try to do them there and then rather than be tempted to read on just a little bit more, like I was! I had to go through it again to re-establish the motivation to do it as I got to each section! Very good book and I would highly recommend you buy it today!

A must read for anyone wanting to control their clutter
|
This really is a fantastic book. As a mum of three with a modest house I was at my wits end trying to control our inevitable 'clutter' - I seemed trapped in a cycle of tidying for hours and hours every single weekend and by Monday it would be havoc again.
Sue's book has changed my outlook and approach to clutter. Most importantly I realised I just had too much stuff and Sue's book suggests lots of different ways to get rid of it and not feel guilty! The airing cupboard and garage were everything was literally thrown in are now organised and have lots of space.
I feel calmer and more in control of not just my home and am much more able to relax knowing everything has its place.
A must read for anyone wanting to make changes but not sure how to approach dealing with their mess and muddle.
