This DK book is very appealing to look at, but I found it less helpful than Simply Clean. It ended up being a skim-read for sections not relevant to me. It also seemed repetitive.

The pages on "clutter personality" were interesting . . . but mostly in terms of other people I know.

• The hoarder - "This might come in handy someday."
• The deferrer - "I'll think about that tomorrow."
• The rebel - "I don't wanna and you can't make me!"
• The perfectionist - "Next week, I'll organize everything . . . perfectly."
• The sentimentalist - "Oh, the little darling!"

Her next pages on psychology were also interesting. After that, though, it didn't really offer me any suggestions that I wanted to latch onto. Back to the library!
