Houseworks: Cut the Clutter, Speed Your Cleaning and Calm the Chaos29 reviews
Cynthia Townley Ewer

DK ADULT, 2006

Very Useful for All Types of Houskeepers
After I saw a previous review claiming this book is only for people whose houses are brimming with clutter, I almost did not purchase it. My house is not brimming with clutter and it is generally fairly clean. I have found this book extremely useful, despite the fact that I am a competent housekeeper. I can also see that this book would be a lifesaver for people who are drowning in clutter and ... 		  
  







  
  
Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui208 reviews
Karen Kingston

Broadway, 1999

Liberating
Whether you buy into feng shui or not, this book could change how you look at what you own. I first encountered this gem of a book when it initially came out, and over the years I have bought multiple copies for friends and family members. The basic premise is simple but liberating: If you don't love it or it is not useful, get rid of it. I was so motivated after reading this book that ...

Marla Cilley, Leanne Ely

Fireside, 2007

Change your mind, change your body!!!!
I loved this book. I had bought Sink Reflections and enjoyed it so much, I decided to try this book too. I am overweight and I just finished this book, but I truly think it will help me. They talk about taking baby steps and not doing to much at first, so that you don't get overwhelmed and then quit. They also talk about people wanting to do and be perfect and the fact that there are no ...

ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life79 reviews
Judith Kolberg, Kathleen Nadeau

Routledge, 2002

The top organization book for ADD
I bought over 10 books on ADD and organizing, and only kept two: this one and 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADD. This book's format and prose was written with ADD readers in mind, and the solutions are spot-on. Other books had overly simplistic or complicated ideas that seemed absurd or impossible. This book's ideas are very specific to the way an ADDer's brain works. I refer to it time and ... 		  
  







  
  
Does This Clutter Make My Butt Look Fat?: An Easy Plan for Losing Weight and Living More16 reviews
Peter Walsh

Free Press, 2008

Worth it if you're ready to make a change.
I bought this book along with his other one "It's All too Much!". I suggest reading the first book, then this one because it sets the ground work and you'll get an understanding of where he's going. It was so freeing to get rid of stuff in my cupboard that "maybe I'll make someday". I had pudding in there that was 10 years old. I then made menus, and did grocery shopping. I made what I ...

Sidetracked Home Executives(TM): From Pigpen to Paradise101 reviews
Pam Young, Peggy Jones

Grand Central Publishing, 2001

Still the Best Organization Book Out There!
I've read many books on organization (and hope to someday accomplish all I've read!), but this book will always be my favorite. Pam and Peggy have "been there." There's nothing worse than an organization or "decluttering" book that's written by someone who was born organized (or a "B.O." as Pam and Peggy would call them!). You have to have walked a mile (or waded through the clutter) in the ...

Book of Soups: More than 100 Recipes for Perfect Soups18 reviews
Culinary Institute of America

Lebhar-Friedman Books, 2001

Deliciousness in a bowl . . .
This book is fantastic. In fact, the recipe for the most delicious soup I've ever had -- Minnesota Wild Rice Soup (with carrots, celery, leeks, heavy cream, and white wine) came out of this book. Of course, I may be a bit biased, being a Minnesota girl, but I don't think so. Dang it, now I'm hungry for soup.

New Harbinger Publications, 2004

digging out of a mountain
Compulsive hoarding is a dirty little secret in America. If you have a friend or family member who will never allow you into their home, that is a big red flag warning you that they are afflicted with this disorder. Someone who cannot bear to part with anything someone else would consider minor, such as junk mail, twist ties, broken pens and pencils--to the point there are literally hundreds or ...

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002

A different way to look at your stuff (clutter)
As others have written,I too have read many, many, MANY clutter, organizing, packrat books. I still have so many, they have contributed to the clutter. This was one of the good ones. My problem is not organizing my stuff-- I want to get rid of it. Most books give you detailed file organizing and specific instructions. I wanted to know WHY I couldn't let go of so many things. This may not be ...
