Banish Clutter Forever

How the Toothbrush Principle Will Change Your Life

By: Sheila Chandra

Narrated by: Lucy Scott

Why is it that even the most disorganised person never seems to lose their toothbrush?

How can this simple fact solve all our clutter problems?

The Toothbrush Principle is a simple yet inspired approach to de-cluttering your home. Whether you live in a mansion or a bedsit, this book will show you how to: organise according to the unconscious blueprint that naturally tidy people have, so that getting and staying organised is easy; know what to throw away with confidence; set up your wardrobe so you get much more use out of the clothes you have; work from home productively in a clear, designated space; tame your inbox!

Step-by-step, room-by-room, you'll soon find that you hardly ever lose things, massive clear outs become a thing of the past and you never spend more than 10 minutes a day tidying up.

So stop drowning in piles of clutter, learn how to be organised and start creating space to live out the life of your dreams!

So beautifully written. Insightful.

What did you love best about Banish Clutter Forever?

So enjoyable! I would love to listen to it again and again and I am sure I will.

Dana K White is better.

This is okay. There are some decent ideas. But honestly, Dana K White is Better. Some of their advice is similar, but Dana gets it more. Also, the areas where their advice differs (like start de-cluttering in the most visible places versus starting in the attic) I think Dana makes a lot more sense. She truly understands how my brain works and helped me understand myself better (and understand my husband more) which then emotionally helped me with the de-cluttering process.

This is not a bad book. There was good food for thought. But Dana is just better.

There was also a section about working efficiently like with your day planner and emails, to-do-list type stuff as a self employed creative, which I think is useful and was not expected. Sometimes books like this feel like Ted talks. It’s inspiring, sometimes annoying and preachy, but by listening I attended the church of “get your life more organized” and so it was good. But I probably will not listen to it again, while Dana I have re-listened a few times…
