Okay, I can't be too critical of this book since I received it free as an Amazon daily special.  However, I definitely would not pay for this book.I bought the book yesterday and finished it in about 15 minutes.  It is very brief and contains only the most basic principles about decluttering.  If you have ever read a magazine article or book about decluttering or organizing, you will not find a single new idea in this book.  The author offers some storage ideas but there are no illustrations or pictures to describe what she is talking about.  It's all very familiar advice, though - like using the space under your bed.I can summarize the book for you:1) Know why you want a clutter-free home and write the reasons down.  This will motivate you.2) Grab you empty carboard boxes and sort (you know - give away, throw away, sell, move to a different room, etc.)3) Go through one room at a time until your house is completely decluttered.4) It's easier to maintain order if every item has a home and you pick up as you go.That's it in a nutshell.She does offer tips for getting the kids to help which I read through pretty quickly because I don't have children in the home anymore.I'm sorry.  I really wanted to like this book and find something new in it but I couldn't.If you can get it for free, I wouldn't hestitate.
