What’s different about The Decluttering Handbook?

Becky of Clean Mama simplifies the process of decluttering to a step-by-step method that anyone can follow and succeed in calming the visual noise in their home. Instead of reading and reading and then finding out what the best method is, you’ll start right away by finding your reason, writing down your goals and then you’ll move into decluttering every part of your home. Wrap up the decluttering with a thorough paper clutter plan and then a plan for keeping the clutter away for good with systems that work.

Any Clean Mama resource isn’t complete without checklists and The Decluttering Handbook does not disappoint. You’ll find checklists and pages to use though the entire process.
