Minimalista

Ms. Gill didn't write just a home edit book, she went a step further and makes you go through the psychology of WHY. 

This is a fresh approach to the world of home editing, decluttering, and more of you in the space you inhabit. 
I'm such an organizer geek that this was fun reading for me, and I looked forward to unpacking each section like unwrapping a chocolate treat to be savored. 
Is my home perfect now? Not yet. It's a home in progress. I'm taking one space at a time and prioritizing which ones need the most attention and which ones mean the most to me. 
I don't have to do the whole house in a day. In fact, I shouldn't. That wouldn't be healthy. 
But one bin, one pocket of space, one room at a time is. And eventually the home will be a reflection of me and my family. 

You don't need every book, show, or magazine on the market to create your beautiful home, but you should get this book. It will stand the test of time. 



As a professional home organizer with clients ranging from students to multi-millionaires, Shira Gill observed that clutter is a universal stress trigger. Over the years she created a signature decluttering and organization process that promotes sustainability, achieves lasting results, and can be applied to anyone, regardless of their space or lifestyle. Rather than imposing strict rules and limitations, Shira redefines minimalism as having the perfect amount of everything—for you—based on your personal values and the limitations of your space. 
 
Now, in 
Minimalista, Shira shares her complete toolkit for the first time, built around five key steps: Clarify, Edit, Organize, Elevate, and Maintain. Once you learn the methodology you'll dive into the hands-on work, choose-your-own-adventure style: knock out a room, or even a single drawer; style a bookshelf; donate a sweater. Shira teaches that the most important thing you can do is start, and that small victories, achieved one at a time, will snowball into massive transformation. Broken into small, bite-sized chunks, Minimalista makes it clear that if the process is fun and easy to follow, anyone can learn the principles of editing and organization.
