I am having fun with this review. Instead of putting quotes from the book in my review, I am adding them using the goodreads add-a-quote feature. I don't know how well that will work for other readers, but I am having fun doing it for the first time. Now that I have put some in I see that Quotes are only for "notable people". Oops - Well, now I know.
This is a book that my wife has had for some years, which made it easy to read since she had highlighted the portions that were important to her. So, as I read, I could skim along until I came to something that she highlighted.
Here approach is different from [a:Marie Kondō|5589647|Marie Kondō|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1451520607p2/5589647.jpg]. Marie Kondō had great success with her approach to decluttering in Japan and abroad. However, I don't feel that this approach is any worse. It is worth looking at them both and finding what works for you.
One big difference is that Kondō stresses that it is a lifetime change and tells you exactly how to do it. Passoff's book tells you to use what works for you.
There are three sections in this book:
1. Getting Started (Chapters 1-3)
2. Learning Skills (Chapters 4-11)
3. Living Clutter Free (Chapters 12-14)
Learning Skills At a Glance (Between Part 2: Learning Skills & Part 3: Living Clutter Free)
1. Handle one item at a time
2. A path for everything & everything on a path
3. Don’t cover your tracks (keep cleaned areas cleaned)
4. Like-kind things, like-kind energies together
5. Take breaks
6. Leave no stone unturned
7. Dispose of things with some ceremony
8. Empty space always gets filled
9. Acknowledge the steps you have taken
