Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We can’t take our stuff with us. So when we go, somebody has to clean up all the stuff we leave behind. Margareta Magnusson wrote this book to work out that problem. She says sort it out yourself before you go. She says that death cleaning is not a sad thing to do, as she walks you step by step through eliminating things you need, don’t want, or don’t have room for. She says that remembering the history of each item one last time can actually be enjoyable. Some practical tips include: start by checking the items by your front door; do the large items first; choose the clothes category early on. She also suggests you don’t wait too long. Once you get things under control, you can enjoy life even more. Magnusson says, “Death cleaning is not about dusting or mopping up; it is about a permanent form of organization that makes your everyday life run more smoothly.” I recommend this book to anyone who is ready to downsize their belongings and upsize their living.
