#non-fiction November ... NOT my usual, I'm a fiction gal. When I DO non-fiction, it's usually still more of a story, not a self-help type. But just to push the boundaries, I figured I'd give this one a try. My sister and mother had listened to the audiobook and given it a thumbs up. The Kindle copy was available in KU (currently on a 3-months for $1 deal) and I was able to get the audio from the library.
Narrated by the author, she was good, very conversational.
I'm NOT a hoarder ... but I have that "frugal" part, that matches some of the issues brought up here. I am definitely one to "reorganize" and shift things around. It was interesting to recognize things that resonated - either with me, or with my Hubs/Son (and had to totally laugh at "now that you've got your things under control, work with your spouse and kids ...) My Hubs is a total tosser. He has no problem getting rid of things. Him getting rid of things has been an issue for me looking on (but ... what if ...) but I've gotten better, even before this book. My son totally used the "one in one out" with his closet, even though he had PLENTY of space in his closet. New shirt? Have to get rid of one that was in there. Everything spic and span and organized ... even as a teenager. I know, I'm lucky to have a kid like that!
This did shift some things in my mind - we'll see if I get around to implementing. The main house isn't too bad, but the closets ... mine, a couple of the kids, some storage ... definitely could use a major declutter.
Do NOT tell Hubs I read this book though ... don't want him to get his hopes up!
