it's all too much

It's All Too Much: An Easy Plan for Living a Richer Life with Less Stuff by Peter Walsh

My review

rating: 4 of 5 stars
Nothing new but great motivation. I even had to stop reading to get up and clean! I still have a long way to go to get uncluttered but I have made a start and that is more than I have done after reading other books. Walsh is not about buying stuff to reorganize, he is about getting rid of it! Most of it I can agree with. I can't get rid of books I haven't read. I know I will read them and will give myself a few month to get through them.



And I cannot get rid of my music CDs even though I have them on my computer. Doing so would violate the terms of use as once you no longer own the CD, you don't have the right to play the music. I don't understand why so many people feel it's OK to keep digital copies of the music and sell the original CDs. I guess that may be just my pet peeve but it's a big one for me.



Walsh did motivate me to get rid of an old roll top desk that belonged to my husband. It was his grandfather's and he was proud of the refinishing job he did on the desk. It is a nice desk but means nothing to me and will not mean anything to the boys. I will be giving it to goodwill where someone can purchase it and enjoy it.



I have never seen Clean Sweep but I think Walsh is a good cheerleader and motivator.
