books about decluttering

The beginning of every year brings with it the desire for a fresh start, and this year is no different. To say the year 2020 was one of change is an incredible understatement. We all had to alter our routines and get used to spending more time at home. It’s been an anxiety-filled several months, and it’s not over yet, but I hope we’ve taken the time to appreciate what we have and learned some things along the way. 

I’ve enjoyed spending more time with my family. Having my college-age son home has been especially nice, since soon, he will be officially grown up and off on his own. Many of us are also taking this time to re-evaluate our spending, declutter our homes, and maybe do a little redecorating. If you need to make room for a home office, need additional living space, or just want to clear the clutter, you need a plan and the motivation to tackle the job. Here are 10 books about decluttering to inspire you, motivate you, and walk you through the process.
