Product Information

This book gives you the tools to get through this process efficiently and as painlessly as possible.

This is an incredibly inspirational book by a very determined lady who has faced more challenges in her life than the majority of us ever will. It also offers relevant, real-life stories to encourage readers who want - or need - to shed some possessions to make space for more living. Had I read this before reading Making Space Clutter Free: The Last Book on Decluttering You Will Ever Need I know my rating would be higher. Humans tend to designate different spaces for different activities, which is why we like to keep related objects together and why we think of objects as having a specific place in our homes.Fortunately, Peter doesn't go crazy with tons of psychological test questions in this book; I remember seeing 4 or 5 short, easily-graded ones. Narrator Gary Furlong's gentle Irish accent guides listeners through the process of downsizing their possessions—whether it’s due to moving, a desired change in lifestyle, or having to clear out another person's belongings when that person is unable to do so. I would recommend this book if I knew someone who was struggling with the personal dynamics of siblings cleaning out the parents’ home.

When not wading through clutter and large-scale disorganization, Peter divides his time between his work in Los Angeles and visiting Australia as frequently as possible. Maybe you’re faced with the challenge of moving homes, have decided to slim down your current home, or have inherited a cluttered home from a late relative – in any case, the prospect of sorting through a potential lifetime’s worth of accumulated stuff can be incredibly daunting.Unfortunately, my motivation wasn't turned towards getting our house decluttered as much as it was turned towards just getting through this book. and that's not our situation at all (five people in a two bedroom apartment, we can really only go up from here).

Keep them) But save photos and personal stuff till very end of getting rid of stuff— they are a time suck!

We may never be able to achieve a fraction of her success and influence, but the example of her generosity and unflagging attempts to use her hard won fortune to do good will inspire all of us to do just that bit more to leave the world a slightly better place than we found it. I'll cover the common downsizing difficulties that people face, and I'll help you apply the techniques and methods I've developed to your specific challenges.
