Throw Out Fifty Things (Abridged) Audiobook

" I've read the last of my make-a-list-and-get-organized type of book. This one had been hanging around a while, so I figured what the hell. Cute, light, glib, well-written -- and essentially useless. The Virgo in me has finally said "enough." "

" A great book to get you started on de-cluttering your life. "

" This book is changing my life. Such an amazing view of how to declutter your life and such an easy read. I also love that it doesn't just talk about physical clutter, but mental clutter as well. "

" I read few chapters. I expected something more, it pretty straight forward. "

" Similar advice to other clear out the clutter tomes, but when I listened to it as an audiobook (while cleaning) I found it motivating. "

" Fabulous advice on how to de-clutter your house and your life. "

" Very concise reading for clearing the physical and mental clutter in our lives. I really benefited from reading the latter half of the book about clearing out the mental clutter that holds us back. I find Gail Blanke to be one of the best motivational/inspirational/self help authors ever. "

" Not only throwing out the physical junk that clutters our lives, but also some of the mental clutter that holds us back from achieving our goals. A quick and easy read, just what I need to clean out this house and my mind. "

" Encouraged me to clean out my closet and finally put clothes I didn't need into storage. My problem is now I have tubs of clothes in my dining room...waiting to be taken down to the storage space. Still, an improvement! "

" Simple, practical look at de-cluttering your home. Nothing earth shattering in her advice. Throwing out the "mental" clutter was at times a bit touchy-feely for me, but I still liked the stories she told and her positive attitude. "

" Blanke is a motivational speaker, or assistant, or something along those lines. The book had little to offer that I haven't read elsewhere. "

" Added benefit: this book also helped me to an extra $1500 tax deduction in donated items. "

" I feel motivated to declutter my whole house! "

" It made me mostly want to throw out much of my kids' crap.... "

" This book has good tips for moving forward emotionally, but I was really hoping for hands-on how-to-declutter details, and it's short on those. "

" I thought that this started out ok and got me motivated to get rid of alot of crap but then the tone of the book changed to emotional purging and it kind of lost me. I was really just looking to declutter our house after our move! Haha "

" Prompted me to act on a few things I was procrastinating on, but really too many words for too simple of a concept. I don't need that much psychoanalyzing about stuff that has to get done; I need to JUST DO IT. "

" It made me mostly want to throw out much of my kids' crap.... "

" Great tips that inspired me to throw out way more than 50 things :) "

" We are moving and it definetely gave me encouragement to minimize "stuff". "

" There was maybe one useful chapter in aggregate? "

" Prompted me to act on a few things I was procrastinating on, but really too many words for too simple of a concept. I don't need that much psychoanalyzing about stuff that has to get done; I need to JUST DO IT. "

" What a great read. Would recommend to everyone! "

" This book will help you clean your clutter! It will motivate you. It could change your life. Gail Blanke makes a lot of sense and speaks to you conversationally. I did throw out fifty things. And now I'll throw out even more. She's brills. "
