I recently went through a move, and packing up all of my stuff, including from the room I grew up in at my mother's house, and hauling it across the country was a huge hassle. It was even worse when I got to my new place and realized how much smaller it was than my old one! I was feeling really overwhelmed by all my clutter until I bought this book, and I am now feeling much better. I feel like there were a lot of great, simple steps that I can take to make a difference in the way that I live. Sometimes when you see those home improvement shows or fancy magazine layouts that try to show you how to be more organized, the techniques they share are just not possible for people with busy lives and a budget! It even goes through a step-by-step system, where they give you a timeline to complete each goal, so it doesn't feel so overwhelming to get started. I would say the schedule they lay out is my favorite part of the book--I am a huge list maker, and they have done all that work for me! All I needed to do was go through the steps and cross stuff off.
