"Just bought "30 days"--it's one of the best around. Other books either tell you how to become hyper-organized and how to plan your Christmas all year 'round (who needs that?) or how to live absolutely minimally. This combines the ethics of simplification with the practicality of organization, and shows people that there are a range of styles."

"I thought this book was fabulous. The ideas and suggestions seemed written just for me. After I read the chapter on kitchens to my husband, we totally cleaned out and reorganized our kitchen the same day. One of my favorite themes from this book is: Surround yourself with things (clothes, furniture, dishes) that you love. If you don't love something, let it go. Sounds simple, but it's very powerful!

In the book, they mention that if you're looking for a better method of cleaning your house, a good book to try is Speed Cleaning. I purchased it (through Amazon.com, of course!!) and I don't think my house has ever been cleaner.

I've read similar books (i.e. How To Avoid Housework by Paula Jung - which was also great) but this one has really motivated me to change. With their easy suggestions and helpful ideas, it has been SIMPLE to do little things every day to simplify my life. Thanks, Connie and Cris!!"

"This book focuses more on organizing and monitoring what you have, rather than simplifying life and getting rid of the "stuff" that needs to be monitored. If your problems include figuring out what holiday gifts to give the household help, this book is for you. If you're looking to make your life simpler, start by checking this book out from the library rather than buying it."
