Recently, I've been feeling rather overwhelmed with the number of items that have been collecting inside my home. Reading this book is exactly what I needed. I know I need to get rid of items, but have been using excuses such as believing I will use certain books and magazines again, which I haven't for years and have also been keeping things I believe to have sentimental value.Julia Green understand the psychology that is behind why we keep things and has brilliantly explained in her book, how we can become unstuck from the excuses we have made, to hold onto things we will never use.  What I appreciate about this book, is how the author has explained specific and logical methods we can use to declutter our homes.I feel motivated to start to clear things out and this book explains exactly how to do it properly. Something which I'm going to put into action right away, is to use Julia's advice on switching to electronic bank statements, which will help to reduce the masses of paper which I've been collecting when receiving statements through the post. I'm also going to follow the author's advice about creating electronic copies of the tons of photos I've got and will sell a number of items including plates and cups, which have been gathering dust, at a car boot sale. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is looking for practical ways to reduce the amount of clutter in their home.
