While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

Story
In my practice, I work with people who are struggling every day. They all have their battles. Some of them are miserable because of obsessive fears that prevent them from getting out of their homes. Some are convinced they have to become skinny if they want someone to love them. Some believe they are fighting for their lives during terrible attacks, which are just panic episodes. And I get it. I understand them all. Some of them tell me, "You don't get it. You can't understand what I'm going through." But I do. I really do. Because I've been there, done that.

Story
If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Story
Most of us know we own too much stuff. We feel the weight and burden of our clutter, and we tire of cleaning and managing and organizing. While excess consumption leads to bigger houses, faster cars, fancier technology, and cluttered homes, it never brings happiness. Rather, it results in a desire for more. It redirects our greatest passions to things that can never fulfill, and it distracts us from the very lives we wish we were living. But it doesn't have to be this way.

It is clear, to the point and provides simple advises that inspires self-application of the main points.

This book helped me through a stressful time.
This book helped me through a stressful time in my life and to look at my problems from another point. It’s so real and simple. Especially I love spiritual chapters. Other ones about cleaning and organising living environment weren't something new for me as I am an organised person. But for sure it has sense. Absolutely agree with an idea from Allyson’s book that the only thing you can get from constant rush is stress. And more stress. Also, it's the only thing you will lose if you slow down. This is what I understood when I changed priorities in my life. And I am so happy now.

Great self-development book!
Great self-development book to understand ways to declutter your life, physically and mentally. This book is well written and easy to understand. If followed, most of the ideas Allyson shares would help to organize and simplify your lifestyle. It would be an excellent buy for someone interested in slowing down their pace of life and transforming their behavior. I like the short, concise chapters, which are easy to remember and to follow. Contains excellent advice and very helpful!
