Christian Aaron thechristianaaron — Truthfully, this is a 3 star book. But I am a big fan of the Unclutterer website, for which Erin Doland is the primary writer, so I have upped the book to 4 stars if only because it might introduce you to the website. The "one week" premise is shaky. It should be more like "Unclutter Your Life in Seven Days." The book presumes that you will undertake *massive* projects each day...before work. Like: take all the clothes out of your closet, determine what still fits and is flattering, what needs to be fixed, and donate the rest. Include all your accessories. Then go to work. Or: take everything out of your kitchen cupboards and pantry and put them on the dining room table. Decide what you really use, toss expired food, clean out the now empty shelves, and replace the pared down items. And then go to work. I mean, for someone who isn't cluttered the projects won't be massive. But for someone like me who is moderately cluttered they are massive. And I am not even insanely cluttered. Actually, even for someone who doesn't have a lot of stuff, taking everything out of the kitchen cabinets, cleaning, and replacing is still going to take several hours. The one week thing also glosses over the psychological aspects of it. Erin is not a psychologist and I don't think she needs to be to write this book. But I think pretty much everyone can agree that big changes are stressful and when trying to change the way you live it might be better to do it gradually to allow yourself time to acclimate and to adjust to the idea of getting rid of your things. Starting small (one drawer) or with a class of items to which you are less attached (old junk mail you haven't bothered to throw out yet) primes you for more cluttered and/or more emotional areas. I have been working slowly but steadily over the past two months and am still getting used to an emptier house. It took me a couple weeks before I felt comfortable with my bedroom being so empty--it felt less cozy and inviting, less mine. If you take the "one week" thing with a grain of salt and do each of the projects on a weekend day, the plan is more do-able. The practical suggestions are useful and I like that it includes an "unclutter your work" aspect, in addition to home. If you are cluttery at home, it's unlikely you're a minimalist at work but I've never seen advice about work and home integrated in one place before. You can breeze through the book in a couple of hours and its advice and motivation are useful in a decluttering process. I don't know that it will work as an only resource for someone needing to make a big change, but it is certainly a tool in the arsenal.
