I just opened this book yesterday before coming across this thread. She gives common sense advice if you ask me. I really want to work on getting my craft space in order. I share it with my son who wfh two days a week. Plus he will spend his evenings there playing video games on his computer or watching t.v.. So I haven’t really used it since we moved into this home a year ago. He will be moving into his own place in two weeks, so I feel like I can finally have the freedom to set it up to my liking and have a little room to breathe. But I have so much stuff that I feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Hoping reading this book will be helpful. I am right with you on the craft room declutter. We moved here last July and it still has boxes all over. I started reading the book on Sunday and just today followed her ‘do the daily stuff first’ and now I can see my dining table and coffee table. A few minutes tomorrow and that area will be ‘company ready’ Then comes the craft room! We should check in with each other for encouragement I would love to do that! |

A few minutes tomorrow and that area will be ‘company ready’ Then comes the craft room! We should check in with each other for encouragement I picked up the Decluttering book from the library yesterday and got through chapter 8 tonight. Much of it resonates so far. I think I do pretty well with the daily stuff. I don’t let junk mail or random paper stuff pile up too much and keep on top of laundry and dishes. I also think it makes a lot of sense to start with the visible areas first since that’s what everyone sees the minute they come through the door. I need to do better at keeping those first impression areas picked up. The end tables tend to be catchalls for random junk and things that tend to not get put away because they’re always being pulled out (pens, fingernail clipper, earbuds). My first inclination is to put stuff like that in a little basket, but I know better because it wouldn’t take long before that little basket was overflowing with all the other random junk that people are just too lazy to put away or throw away where it actually belongs. But on a positive note, it does have me thinking about certain specific areas of my house that would be super easy to thin out and where I would see some immediate progress. |

I just found that the first book is included in Kindle unlimited if anyone has that.
