Just a book-length advertisment for the Container Store March 14, 2008
40 out of 41 found this review helpful
This book is the least helpful work on de-cluttering of several I have read and used. It contains 2 or 3 short pages on actually getting rid of stuff; the rest of the book is a long drawn-out pitch for purchasing lots of (mostly pretty expensive) organizing containers. Shamelessly, there are numerous specific references throughout the book to The Container Store with recommendations that the reader run out and go buy more "organizing solutions" from that chain.
The last thing a clutterer needs is bigger containers to hold more and more stuff. And that is, unfortunately, the primary solution of the "Complete Idiot's Guide to Decluttering".
In contrast, I can recommend some truly helpful and life-changing books including "Apartment Therapy," "Organizing for Creative People," and "The ADD-Friendly Way to Organize Your Life." At the top of my list, though, is "It's All Too Much," which recommends GETTING RID OF THINGS as the best way to deal with clutter.
So if you're looking at buying this book, don't bother. I'm just really glad I borrowed it from the library instead of paying good money for it.
Here's my hint, after a successful 16-month decluttering episode of my own: If you just toss it, recycle it, or give it away, you won't have to organize it, store it, find it, or worry about it -- ever again!!
