What a nice surprise!  This book really provided much more information than I expected.  I purchased it thinking I was going to get a few tips to help declutter my always messy kitchen and master bathroom.  This book contained great tips for that, but also included an entire additional section on simplifying and decluttering your personal life.  I actually found myself delving into this section much deeper than I ever anticipated.One tip that really hit home for me was to eliminate information overload.  I've always spent a ton of time surfing the internet.  I began to cut back on the time I spend online, and I can already tell that I'm getting a lot more done.The book also had a section on saving money that was a wake up call. When I sat there and thought about how many times I really do overbuy or rebuy things because of my own clutter, it made me a little sick.On a more traditional uncluttering note, I've already implemented a few of the tips in my bathroom, and I can honestly say that these small, yet significant, changes have transformed the way I keep my bathroom organized. Take the waste basket, for example. I was among the MANY people around the world with the tiny tin that matched my shower curatain. When I bought the set I thought how  pretty it would look, but now with all the TRASH in my bathroom it doesn't matter! I replaced the tiny waste basket with a less thrilling, but oh-so much more practical, medium sized white can with a lid. All the mess that was constantly strewn  around my bathroom (and embarrassingly around the floor around the waste basket) is now contained. And I'm breathing easier!Overall, this was a great book to declutter many areas of your life.  I can already see a positive change from the tips I've implemented.
