Declutter: The Get-real Guide to Creating Calm for Chaos (**有瑕疵商品)

Written with warmth, practical advice and tongue-in-cheek humour, this is a book about decluttering for real people, with real lives.

Clutter can drain you of energy, steal your time, rob you of space and fill up your weekend with things that need cleaning, mending or putting away. At its worst, it can induce feelings of shame, guilt and panic, which mean you'd rather welcome a hungry alligator into your home than a friend who just happens to pop by. Pretty joyless, isn't it? But listen: you are not a slob; you are not lazy, you are not a bad person. You just have too much stuff. Relax. We can solve this.

While it might be tempting to imagine that you'll become a whole new person if you alphabetise your sock drawer, the truth is that when it comes to decluttering, there is no one-size-fits-all ideal. This book will help you find your own comfort level and, with a realistic approach, show you how to maintain it. Debora will lead you through the process, room by room, one over-stuffed drawer at a time, tackling different types of clutter, from dusty heirlooms to digital chaos, sharing her own stories to help you along the way. So next time the doorbell rings with an unexpected visitor, you won't find yourself hiding behind the sofa.
