    About this audiobook

    'I need this book.' - Nigella Lawson
    'A chummy guide to clearing your home and head.' - Jack Monroe
    Bursting with practical and relatable advice, this audiobook injects enthusiasm, energy and some much-needed humour into the essential task of de-cluttering. Forget the holier-than-thou approach promising a whole new you if you alphabetise your sock drawer - this is decluttering for real people, with real lives. With a refreshingly honest approach, Debora tackles the best ways to deal with domestic dilemmas, cluttered kitchens and crowded cupboards. She includes handy tips and tricks for the average time-poor person. Tasks are broken down into achievable goals and quick fixes, allowing even the busiest of people to create, maintain and achieve a tidy home. And it's not just the home she tackles.
    Debora helps you banish anxiety and kick-start productivity with “10 de-cluttering commandments,” and includes honest advice on how to conquer the fear of change. The busy writer, who has transformed her own cluttered home and mind using these techniques, also explores how best to unclutter your virtual world, from managing social media accounts to balancing email mailing lists.

      This book provides realistic and practical methods of helping a person eliminate clutter from their home. The read itself is humorous throughout and the narration is refreshing. I feel helped and am ready to apply what I learned from the book. If decluttering is an issue for you, I highly recommend this book.

      The first decluttering book I listened to was amazing so in comparison nothing really measures. But also I felt that a lot of things didn’t apply to me. Like following fashion and having lots of handbags and all sorts of random stuff. I don’t need to declutter those as I never had them in the first place. Having said that the book is good I’m just not the target audience.
      One thing that was useful even to me is links. Both in the uk and the states. So many books would have reference so American stuff so this was a relief that this has not only references but actual helpful links. (For instance where to turn to to recycle certain unusual items but many many useful links)

      Didn’t stay on topic and kept jumping to something completely different just when it had your attention
    • 3/5
      If this is your first declutter book it might be fine, but I didn't feel there was much originality in the ideas or process.
