The title alone piqued my interest. The idea of decluttering a whole home all at once can be rather overwhelming, but taking it in small bites is definitely a lot more manageable. This short volume is a compilation of tips, organized in such a way as to be read in short spurts—definitely not overwhelming at all! The tips themselves are not intimidating, but very practical and easy to implement. Mixed in among the tips are “Ask yourself” questions that, like Kondo’s "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up", encourage you to consider your thought processes in how you handle your stuff.

Like Kondo’s title, this is another one that I’ve added to my personal eBook collection, due to it’s practicality. As I continue to tackle my personal clutter bit by bit, I see myself consulting it for it’s practical tips. I think it a makes a more practical partner to Kondo’s book and both could be used together in my clutter elimination efforts. For those who find Kondo’s approach intimidating, this title stands well by itself as a good way to get started.
