Decluttering our homes can be difficult.

Letting go of things can be challenging.

Living with less seems impossible.

With wit and tough love, Stop Buying Bins seeks to break down the obstacles that tether us to our possessions. Why do we hold onto belongings that no longer serve us? How do we change our perspective regarding our things? And once we've tackled those questions, how do we go about actually downsizing our clutter?

Told through individual client stories, Stop Buying Bins reveals the personality traits that create resistance to letting go, flips the switch on assigning value to objects, and provides step-by-step instructions on how to decide what goes and what to do with it.

Stop Buying Bins will have you coming to terms with some hard truths about your stuff as you realize you'll enjoy what you have more if you have less.

I’m enjoying this book. At least one or more of the stories she shares are bound to apply. She asks really good questions and she’s all about helping people create a personally maintainable space. Even though I have done visualization as it pertains to my creative practice, I’ve finally been able to do it in regards to my living space.
I’ve purchased or listened to just about every book on decluttering and I’ve gained some good tips over the years, but this book is at the top of the charts!
( Boy, this sounds like a review…I think I’ll post it on Audible…something I have NEVER done.)

The author is a professional home organizer and this short book is full of practical tips for downsizing your belongings and efficiently managing your everyday life. What I found especially helpful was the advice on how to get motivated to begin large projects (for example: in the smallest room, and only for half an hour) and let your success help build momentum.

The use of scenarios from the author's own business personalized the information and kept my interest. In some cases her clients were so disorganized that their mental health was suffering.

I enjoyed the tone of the book which, while mostly serious, was often humorous, especially in the dialogue between the author and her clients. The narrator was excellent, and portrayed the various tones appropriately. This made for a very enjoyable listening experience.

Good advice for procrastinators, with some humor

I wish I had found this sooner. With very little thought and effort, I emptied 7 bins by getting rid of the junk and consolidating what was left. That's just the beginning. I keep coming back as I have time. I am constantly reducing the number of bins I "need". Also, make sure you get all your duplicates together, then go through them. I had no idea how many of the same thing I had lying around taking up space and keeping me from being organized.

i loved and appreciated the plan and the fact the plan is something easy to follow,gets rrsults. She shows that even a small amount of time and elbow grease go a long way. However, most importantly the root causes that get us into a mess.

Happy Ending!
