Describing cleaning as a thankless task, the author encourages readers to visualize ideal spaces, systematically working toward that vision via manageable tasks and checklists designed to keep aspiring housecleaners on track. ( )

Wow, this is a great companion for anyone who feels overwhelmed with the task of cleaning and tidying their home.
Quite short, this one hour audiobook of encourages you to get started with easy step by step tips to make small changes in your housekeeping habits that will make a big difference in your life and give you more time to do the things that really make you happy.
I’m pretty tidy, so I didn’t think I would need any help with my housework routine, but one great tip was to take a photo of the before and after of your project. I tried that and it was great to see just how even a little tidy-up makes a huge difference and provides that nice boost when you can really see the progress.
I think this audio book would be more useful as a print version, but in any form it’s a good resource for someone who wants to tackle home organizing. The checklists are quite helpful in getting you started and keeping you on track.
Kudos to Amy McFadden, the reader, as well.

This is a very short listen – it’s a one hour audiobook of a journal with checklists, which makes it a rather unique audiobook.

There are helpful steps to encourage you to get started – and then to progress to larger things, hopefully in a way that leaves your weekends free to do the things you love.

One of my favorite tips is to take a photo before you begin – and then take one when you are done – even if you’ve only worked on the project for a few minutes. Kitchen table here I come – camera in hand!

I really enjoyed the reader, Amy McFadden. I will definitely look for more that she has read.

But, overall, this book is a bit short to cover much ground breaking territory and because of the checklists, I believe it would work better in print form than audio.

A helpful and direct guide to making small changes for the better in your living environment. The author focuses on structured exercises and small, accomplish-able tasks that give a sense of progress. The checklists alone are worth the price as they can do the work of getting you started on a task you are dreading.

Very thoughtful and considerate journal to help you feel empowered and take action. ( )
