Kudos!! I'm sure your progress will be as big of a motivator as the book.

XX'd fingers and thanks for sharing.

Yay! Do something nice for yourself and post some pictures!

I have lots of books on cleaning. I'll try the one you recommended!

Iloverofpinkoses, the kindle is definitely a clutter buster. No more stacks of books on the nightstands.

I downloaded a sample and the book seemed to be about the emotional aspects, almost like a hoarding mentality. There were a few short things about if you don't use it for six months to dispose of the items. Which I think that has to apply to the actual item. Otherwise the Christmas stuff would have to go. LOL!

So I guess what I'm asking does it have practical organizing tips? Or is this more into the reasons people hold on to too much stuff?

I saw Peter Walsh on Oprah just last week. He suggested you pick up every single item in your home, look at it and ask "Are you helping my vision of my home?" The answer will tell you whether to keep it or toss it. If you keep it, you must find a place for it. (That's my problem-too much stuff, not enough "places".)
