    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

    Book Preview:#1 The first layer that needs to be removed to get to a clean house is clutter. It is not possible to clean a surface or room that is piled with stuff. The second layer is daily stuff, and certain tasks need to be done every day or almost every day.

    #2 Your Clutter Threshold is the amount of stuff you can easily keep under control in your own home. If your house is constantly falling back into disaster status, you have too much stuff.

    #3 The goal of decluttering your house is not to finish, but to have less stuff than you did before. Focusing on having less and making your home better is what finally brought about real change in your home.

    #4 When I started my deslobification process, I thought I was giving up when I decided organizing was hopeless for me. But instead of focusing on how to keep my stuff, I focused on getting it out of my house.
