5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Motivating, Short, and To the Point!, November 10, 2002

This review is from: Clutter Control: Putting Your Home on a Diet (Paperback)

This has to be one of the BEST and MOST MOTIVATING books I have ever read. This is a short, easy-to-read book. I read it in one day. This author REALLY UNDERSTANDS the problem of people like me who are "pack-rats," and WHY we are pack-rats. He tackles the problem from this point of view.

The very next day, after reading the book, I was able to organize my entire office. I am now involved in packing for a home move, and for the first time in years, I am making progress on knowing what to save, and what to get rid of. This book helped me TREMENDOUSLY in making these decisions. And it provides precise, practical suggestions for how to go about it step-by-step, so that you get rid of the problem of being entirely overwhelmed and not knowing where to start.

If clutter is disturbing your life, then THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU.

4.0 out of 5 stars When you think about it, the advice is obvious..., July 31, 2000

By 

MK Writer "hedwig_owl" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Clutter Control: Putting Your Home on a Diet (Paperback)

but it really does help to hear it from a professional. It's almost like someone telling you that it's okay to throw out odd screws and socks and other ridiculous things that you think you'll use "some day," but, surprise, surprise, the day never comes. Have applied it to my desk...now I just have to hit the closets and the rest of the house. If you've ever wondered what should stay and what should go, this is definitely the book for you. I'm probably going to purchase _Speed Cleaning_ next.

4.0 out of 5 stars Read this book when you're ready for serious decluttering!, October 6, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Clutter Control: Putting Your Home on a Diet (Paperback)

This book was guiding force for a major home decluttering. Mr. Campbell gives a lot of practical advice and also provides psychological insights into why we accumulate so much stuff. I have thrown/given away a lot of stuff and have missed virtually none of it. He also helps you to store efficiently what you do keep.
