I have been glossing through some more reading on the my favorite subject, and it's still not the best use of my time. Toss, Keep, Sell! by Leah Ingram was good for people who want to make money from things they don't need anymore. I didn't really need it, because I've been using eBay and Craigslist for years to sell things I don't want. These are good outlets for a lot of people to get a little extra cash, but it bothers me that people are making a bundle telling other people that there might be gold hiding in their cupboards and cellars. I've sold I don't know how many things over the years and I can tell you that it also takes a lot of time to do it. Especially if you are learning how it's done.
The other book I had was The Complete Idiot's Guide to Decluttering by Regina Leeds. I liked it a lot, I think it's a great guide for someone who doesn't know where to begin. It's methodical and breaks the job down room by room, and then each room is categorized into smaller spaces. It's a smallish book, unlike other Idiots' Guides I'm used to. I'm embarrassed to be seen in public with this kind of book, you see, so it's nice to be able to conceal it.
I've also got a book from the Real Simple series of lifestyle books, all about cleaning different things in the home room by room. Things like electronics, appliances, rugs, you name it. This book also goes room by room. Unfortunately I don't have the title or author info right now.
