Summary of Allie Casazza's Declutter Like a Mother

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Sample Book Insights:

#1 I don't care about the rules of minimalism. I don't care how other people define minimalism. I only care about reaching the goal of a better, lighter life. I'm not interested in the one-size-fits-all approach to minimalism that has taken the world by storm the past few years.

#2 Minimalism doesn’t have to mean white rooms with a few succulents on the counter. If it’s not relative to you and your family, what’s the point. Pursuing that type of minimalism for the sake of wide-open, empty space doesn’t fit into a life full of noisy, playful kids and all the messes that come from having a good time.

#3 Minimalism that works is about balance. It helps you be present for your life, but it doesn’t make you feel like you have a massive set of unrealistic rules to follow. It allows you to keep only what’s necessary, and it helps you understand that what takes up space takes up your time as well.

#4 Minimalism can help you address the areas of your home that feel heavy and make them work with you and for you. To get you started, think about what your life will be like after you’ve practiced what’s in this book.
