Last night I went through my primary clothes closet and got rid of at least 2/3s of it.

+1 got rid of 16 bags of clothes, household goods in two days. Read Peter Walsh, also good, however marie kondo's book really resonated and gave me the courage/confidence to thoroughly purge and let go of guilt Associated with decluttering things I no longer needed or found joy in. Highly recommended, my new "bible".

Pp here. I also should have mentioned the psychological impact of the book. I agree with pp, her philosophy is what allowed me to get rid of items without guilt.

Another Konmari fan here. I didn't follow her instructions to the letter, but I did carefully consider each piece and the impact it had or has on my life. It really helped me to unload a lot of stuff I was holding onto because of guilt. I also realized I don't need a stuffed closet because I can rewear my favorites without the worry I won't be able to do a wash (a throwback to college days and first-apartment days). We recently did some home renovations that eliminated the space where we used to stuff/store things, and it has helped us to really come to terms with the reality that if we don't have room for it, we don't need it.

I found that for some items, it took two levels of consideration to discard or keep, and I was fine with that.

Love flylady! And the nice thing is, everything you need to know is on the website. No need to spend money on a book- that would only add clutter to my house.

I'm slightly obsessed with the concept of zero waste and how it fits in with decluttering your home. The key is to not buy/accept anything that you truly do not need which naturally reduces your clutter, but is also environmentally friendly and nudges you toward a more meaningful life (I hope).

I've read a lot of org./decluttering books, and hers is by far the best.
