I read this as I'm redoing my room and I desperately meed to unhaul lots of stuff. My main thoughts on this were:
- written as if for a ciswoman perspective- which considering it was first published in 2011 i get
- i can tell she's not a enthusiastic reader from her attitude to books
- reduces the psychological aspect of hoarding although this isnt a book on that topic, she mentions people who clearly have hoarding tendencies and kinda jokes about it and then says very simplistically to just get rid .... Erm babe , anyone with hundreds of the same item clearly can't just get rid
- an almost spiritual take to cleaning and homes
- it's a good thing she is so hyper fixated on tidying because it has been great for her and others, although slightly unusual

The real test is to see if it works!
