Stephanie Culp (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1989

A "first aid guide" for people who wake up and find that clutter has over taken every inch of available space.

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

In this book, Culp sets down some clean-up guidelines even pack rats can live with; she even provides a checklist quiz to determine what type of pack rat one is! Not surprisingly, Culp is well-organized, and this is reflected in her book, which covers everything from addresses to zip-lock bags. The alphabetic listing and the book's cross-references make quick look-throughs easy. This would go well with Mary Kearney Levenstein's Caring for Your Cherished Possessions ( LJ 6/15/89) and Crampton's Complete Trash: The Best Way to Get Rid of Practically Everything Around the House reviewed in this issue, p. 156.-- Ed. . Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Win the war on clutter with this book!, July 21, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Conquer Clutter (Paperback)

Another delightful work by Stephanie Culp, this book describes how you can wage your own war on clutter in your personal life, in your home and office.

From the "Ten Commandments of Clutter" to her "Resource Helpline", Culp provides a wealth of very organized information. This book is even so specific as to instruct you on the most efficient manner in which to store and access every item, every possession, and every detail in your life. The categories are even cross-referenced!

This book is a must-read for anyone with self-improvement on their "to-do-list." It is a treasure chest of really great ideas for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent how-to de-clutter your life!, August 14, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Conquer Clutter (Paperback)

I've read a couple of "how to get organized" books and this is, by far, the best! This book is like a best friend encouraging you to declutter. Her organizational recommendations are simple and require little overhead. If you want to simplify your possessions to get the most out of life, READ THIS BOOK! :)

This book is for all people who consider themselves 'organized', but are really pack-rats. If you are having a problem with the excess junk in your life, READ THIS BOOK! It helps you find a place to start and walks you through, step by step to the end of what can be a very life-changing project. Stephanie Culp will make you laugh at yourself and help you become clutter-free at the same time. Excellent book, makes a wonderful gift too.
