An insightful read

I owned the book as a prank from a friend, but it turned out to be very beneficial. I’ve struggled with hoarding for too long, as I felt like everything I owned had sentimental value that I couldn’t afford to throw out despite them only accumulating dust at home. A friend gifted me this book (as what I’d assume was a prank), and it’s one of the best presents I’ve received.


What I like most about the book is that it’s written from “Gram’s” perspective, which makes the advice and tips very intimate and heartwarming. It’s just like getting a text from my grandma telling me all sorts of stories. The author didn’t only write instructions or pointers about decluttering but also had bits of inspirational quotes spread throughout. Her words made me ponder things and realize that value isn’t found in the item but in the memories that came with it.
