Just got this on my kindle a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been using it to try and plan for an upcoming career change and move to a totally new climate. Glad to see the book is working for others!!

The cleaning YES, anything that can make cleaning less of a pain is worth it, ha! Funny how initially counterintuitive it was to think that having more is limiting, but the freedom of having less is so undeniably real.

Yes, just from the decluttering alone life has improved so much, and noticing that I was only wearing the same handful of things made sense that I really needed to let go of everything else that was weighing me down and stressing me out in the mornings. So good to hear you’ve achieved a functional wardrobe you’re happy with. I will join you soon :)

I had a moment too of doubting if I should get it but I really found it so helpful. Hope you do too, and good luck with your closet mission!

Interesting read, your blog post. We’ve been minimalizing since moving into our new home last summer. It’s so free-ing! Easy to clean and care for. We opted for less stuffed closets as well- it’s amazing how many clothing pieces ( mine AND hubby’s) that we left at the old house. Now….to get rid of them all! Sounds like a great book, thanks for the suggestion!

Getting dressed is the first thing I do in the day, and if it starts out as a battle, my day will not get any better. I followed a similar process a while back and I have to agree it is amazing. I have saved a ton of money not buying eye candy purchases, that are poor quality and don’t last one wash.
If I am not organised from the night before, I can still pull an outfit together in a few seconds and feel great. Good luck with the journey, because you may be just organising your closet, but you will gain so much more from the process.

Perfect post! I was debating over getting this book in the New Year, but eventually decided against it. Now, after reading this post I’m heading straight to Amazon to order it! Seems like such a great read, especially since one of my goals this year is to be more minimalist & intentional with my wardrobe. xx

I identified myself as a hoarder most of my life. Somehow my closet purge was the one thing that turned that around. Feeling the magic once was enough!
