Come on Apartment Therapy people - this is about sharing ideas and information - not telling people what's right or wrong. I think the post is great. The author floats good ideas and thoughts and we can choose whether that works for us. I was working with a client the other day on decluttering her home, which ended up being decluttering her heart too. Sentimental items. I gave her lots of tools and tips - we discussed the reason why she had so many of some things and on that day she took one wee little baby step forward. Getting Organized: The Big Picture |

I'm from Melbourne, live in Melbourne, love Melbourne. But I'm well travelled and many of those other countries are just gorgeous too. In Australia, we regard Canadians as our Northern Hemisphere sisters and I see that both of us did well in the Top 10. Maybe that's why I so many friends living in Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver now.

I work with people on clutter all the time. Everyone has different ideas about clutter. Most people come to be and tell me they are a hoarder but they never are. A Little Mess: Making Peace With Our Stuff |

Great comments everyone. I teach people how to declutter and reckon a combination of many of your comments are right. I personally use Drop Box and Evernote but see more and more clever ideas weekly on how to manage paper. My only tip is to create a system that does actually make life easier and simpler but also a system you know you'll use otherwise there's no point!

Sensational idea. You could even put artwork on one side and rotate it to change the mood of a room. I know a few people poo poo this idea but it's just something a little different than boring plaster walls. Holy Eco-Bookcase, Batman! Reclaimed Wood Rotating Bookcase State of Green |

As an author, I love books. My idea of heaven is going to a bookshop and immersing myself for hours. BUT I've come to culling my book collection, particularly on novels. There are of course, some books that you just know you need to keep. Having reduced my collection by 50% I'll sit with that for a while and see how it goes. Then in 6 months, revisit the collection again and see if there's more than can go. 12 Things You Probably Own Too Many Of |

Is it about too much stuff? Is it about filling the void in your life with stuff? It's complex and I agree with many readers that people are quick to say 'I'm a hoarder' OR 'my mother is a hoarder'. As someone who works with people around their clutter I've only ever come across a true hoarder once, and I referred them to a professional therapist. It's out of the realm of most of us to deal with people in those situations. How Not to Be a Hoarder |

I'm going to make one of these and put along the walking path in our town. It's such a lovely idea. It's an extension of the bookcrossing concept. Book Sharing: Little Free Library |

Great ideas. I take photos all the time to prompt and remind me. My girlfriend wrote some notes in her Iphone, then took a photo of them with my Iphone so I could remember. She could've sent them to me via email but thought this was a better way. 10 Snapshots You Should Keep in Your Phone's Photo Album |
