"Listened to the audiobook on and off. Basically this was another inspirational book to help a person clear clutter and feel freer to do life and do what matters to them. <br/><br/>The author gives some tips and strategies to help you get started with cleaning and decluttering each space in your home without feeling the need to follow organizational rules by a book you read or following the latest trends and get stressed in making it exactly the same way other people might demonstrate it (e.g. minimalism).<br/><br/>She asks you questions to make you think about how you want each room in your house to feel and what purpose you want it to have, then you create strategies around the lifestyle and habits you already have (i.e. putting some sort of a file system near the door or the living room area for when you bring the mail because you end up leaving it on the table for later instead of sorting them as soon as possible based on deadlines/urgency).<br/><br/>She makes an emphasis that you can keep changing it as you evolve or as you adapt to changes in your life.<br/><br/>I took a good few things out of it and one I want to share was she recommended to start decluttering the bathroom. The reason why is usually it doesn’t hold sentimental items which I didn’t realize until she mentioned it.<br/><br/>She also says it’s the easiest room to start with in decision-making so you don’t have to start with the harder stuff that you may hold sentimental value to and may get overwhelmed by and not be able to make a decision about."

"Actual rating somewhere between 2-3 stars. I feel like there weren’t any new (at least to me) tips. She starts the book by saying how easy it was to just pick up her kids’ extra toys, get rid of them, and her kids didn’t even notice or care. Then she goes on to say how important it is to include them. I also do not want to be called mama or girl by a stranger. Overall it felt more bossy than helpful. Also, I felt like every chapter had some kind of advertisement for a product on her website."
