Guide Review - The Clutter-Busting Handbook

What impressed me most about The Clutter-Busting Handbook was that it managed to combine a lot of information into an easy to read, unintimidating format. This book has a lot of depth. Reading it will do more than just give you the tools to clean out your closet. This book has the tips, techniques, and tools to organize all aspects of clutter in your life. Rita's style is enjoyable and easy to read, although the rhyming subtitles did sometimes feel like a bit much, the ideas will be easier to remember. I very much recommend this book, especially to those people who feel hopeless about their clutter. There is hope through The Clutter-Busting Handbook.

The assignments titled "Extra Credit" at the end of chapters will provide readers with easy tasks to accomplish and develop confidence in their clutter-busting abilities. Rita's stories and "Too True to Argue" truths will find a captive audience with those struggling to pull themselves from underneath a pile of clutter.
