 Step by Step decluttering August 16, 2010
Barbara Foote (northeast Nebraska)
I am still working through this book but finding it to be a great help, guiding me in a step by step decluttering process. This is more than just helping you realize why you have become a clutter bug and attitude changes that need to be made. It helps walk you through the rooms of your home learning what to get rid of and how to organize what is worth keeping. I strongly recommend downloading the free workbook that is available on their web site. It has some great charts to help through the process. There is also additional free information available at their site. I would highly recommend this book to those desiring to free themselves from a clutter mentality.
 Very Disappointing April 2, 2010

I purchased this book because it had good reviews and I needed help with all my clutter. What I found after reading half of the book were suggestions on how to throw out things and what I should buy to help with that process. The actual definition of clutter is not excess but rather things disorganized and scattered. I myself have a lot of room in my house but things are scattered everywhere. I don't feel I necessarily have excess, just disorganization. I don't fell like just throwing things out, as they suggest, will solve my problem. This book offered very little, if any, help on how to get the "clutter" organized and be able to function. It also has a section on meal planning which has nothing to do with what I would understand as clutter. I would not suggest this book to anyone unless you are prepared to throw out a lot of what you may want and not shop for things you'd like to have.
 Nothing new, but pulls a bunch of stuff together... March 29, 2010

Okay, here's the thing. There is absolutely nothing new in this book (except the binder clip idea - genius! - read the book to find out what I mean). There is no magic pill you can take and suddenly be one of those super organized people. I read a good number books, blogs, etc about organizing your home/office/email/life - flylady can totally kiss my butt, by the way. Nowadays, I pull one or two things from them and go on. It's like that with any self-help book, I suspect. But while reading it, it kind of crossed my mind. She's already done that. Taken the best of the ideas - most were variations of other advise I've heard over the year, tweaked to her own way of doing things - and put them in one book. For someone that doesn't read a lot, this is the perfect book because a lot of the work has been done for you.

While there is some extremely valuable information contained in this book, the constant references to "our paid clients", etc. are offensive and distracting for those who truly want to apply the ideas. Apparently if I am really smart, I will apply their "ruler" to my situation and just pay some one to fix my situation and add this book to the "give away" pile!
I have decided not to let the repetitive "commercials" prevent me from getting my money's worth out of the book I already paid for though. After eleven chapters of the propaganda, I just took a minute to get a piece of card stock and a marker and am "editing" out the references so I can use the information without the insinuations that i need to spend more money on the author's website subscriptions or services or cannot apparently apply the information without them!
 Kindle version not recommended May 8, 2009

I purchased the Kindle edition of this book. The formatting leaves alot to be desired - it added frustration to reading.
This book contains some great ideas and resources. Basic common sense rules. If you are willing to do the exercises, it will work for you.
My main gripe other than the kindle version is the way she hawks her website and services.
