Publisher's Summary

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the clutter in your life? A pile of laundry on the floor, a stack of papers on the table, or just too much stuff? You are not alone. The tough part is, you know that shoving it all out of sight isn’t enough—you need to start throwing things away. But you don’t have to become a minimalist. You just need to learn how to remove the excess, so you have more time for what is important in your life. And that’s just what this course teaches you.

Sophie Largen has made it her passion project to help motivate and encourage others by providing tips for efficient cleaning, organizing, and productivity. This practical guide will walk you through decluttering your spaces step by step. It will help you work through common pitfalls, and it will provide you with a plan for success for achieving a simplified—and more joyous—life.

Sophie starts by helping you build a road map and a schedule that are attainable for you and your family. She then shares her favorite decluttering strategies, providing exercises and asking questions to get you through challenges, such as parting with sentimental items. She then offers tools and techniques to help you maintain the organization and simplified life you’ve established.

By the end of this course, you may find yourself with new problems, like what to do with all your extra free time and that newly emptied drawer!

Directional But Not Prescriptive

Sophie has done a great job at directing the how-to steps without selling a one-size-fits-all approach to decluttering. She gives a sense of taking control but without the pressure of some more minimalist approaches.

Good

There are some really good tips here. Nothing new, though, since I’m kind of obsessed with this type of book, but I always enjoy another one. The narration by the author was good.
