Book Review: Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: Declutter, Downsize, and Move Forward with Your Life by Matt Paxton

Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: Declutter, Downsize, and Move Forward with Your Life Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: Declutter, Downsize, and Move Forward with Your Life by Matt Paxton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

A very practical, step-by-step guide for decluttering and getting rid of the decades of accumulated 'stuff.' The advice is based on the author's years in the business of decluttering and assisting others in moving. He includes extensive lists of resources: where to donate; who to contact, etc. It is still very difficult to part with many of the sentimental items and memories, but helps to know that many of us are in the same situation. The end result is definitely worth it, and I'm slowly moving forward and working towards it.
