Great job Salma! I have read the books and am now watching the shows. I think what they have most given me is to free me from the guilt associated with riding my home of certain things I no longer use and that don’t bring me joy but was keeping because someone gave them to me or they were expensive etc.

I’m glad it worked for you! I read it and thought it was a load of bunk! There is a lot of stuff in my house that brings me no joy but is necessary, and lots of stuff that brings me joy but is not necessary. And I am ok with a certain amount of clutter, much to my husband’s dismay.

the life-changing magic of tidying up is definitely on my reading list. My general rule is that if I buy something new (clothes, shoes, home decor) I have to donate an item I no longer use.

Just thinking of this gives me anxiety. I never plan my decluttering crazies. It just has to happen. I have to be in the mood. But I do declutter as I go – I keep a donation box in my closet and just toss things in there whenever I realize I don’t want or wear something. That seems to work for me. Decluttering by category just freaks me out!

In reply to Nicky Omohundro. The book really does help you look at "things" in a different way. We still have to tackle more areas in the house but this was a good start.

In reply to Andrea. It's amazing how much we have without realizing it. I hope the book is helpful for you.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I want to get that book! I just moved, and in the process, I had to purge. It is a little awakening to realize how much I spent on stuff that I was desperate to get rid of to downsize to my new place.

I used to be so proud of keeping up with my closet… until I got pregnant and worried that I was going to give away all my clothes and end up with nothing to wear after baby came. I’m finally getting to the point post-pregnancy where I can look at my closet a bit more objectively. But I think our little man’s closet is in more trouble than ours!

I haven’t read this book, but I’ve heard a lot about it. I am an avid thrifter and it’s so easy to buy things when they cost so little!! I’ve been working hard at getting rid of stuff since we moved into our new house but I still have a long ways to go too. Great post!! Congrats on your hard work.
