About Me

My photo
I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

I borrowed this from my local library on the Hoopla app. I watch her YouTube videos and listen to her podcasts. I personally need the encouragement since my house is not a project with an end to routine tasks.

Identity Clutter: The Whats, Whys, and Hows of Every Angle of DeclutteringIdentity Clutter: The Whats, Whys, and Hows of Every Angle of Decluttering by Dana K. White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I borrowed this from my local library on the Hoopla app.
This Cluttering Deep Dive was what I needed to hear because I still have so much clutter in these categories of "Things I was Going to To Do When I Retired," "Things I Collected When Buying Art Supplies From Amazon Was My Hobby Doing the Pandemic," "Things I Need to Document for my Genealogy Hobby", and Identities Other People Try to Give Me."
The information helps me make Progress, and Progress is Better.

Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with StuffDecluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff by Dana K. White
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book has helped me. Chapter 16 about Craft Supplies and Chapter 25 about Decluttering Dreams had the most impact on me.
When we downsized 7 years ago, there were too many things I could not declutter because: I had plans for BIG PROJECTS; I had plans I made when my job was stressful and/or boring for things to do when I retired: and I inherited plans that other people made for me because they were unable to do those things themselves.
I understand why this 5 step-process works for me, and I am willing to continue using it.
