There is a famous quote by Benjamin Franklin that says, "For every minute spent in organizing, an hour is earned." These words are the summary that best describes what this book is all about. From its title, this book is indeed A No-nonsense Guide to Organizing Your Home. It is a book that we all need to read, especially if you feel clutter is taking up too much space in your home, making life somewhat stressful.

In her book, Kira Kendal aspires to help individuals make their living spaces work positively for them. She believes in following the cardinal rules: classify what you have in any area as keeping, donating, selling or trashing. This significantly helps to declutter any space or spot in your home. The author goes into great detail about how following this routine works for every specific area in your house that you need to work on.

What I loved about this book is its practicality. Most home-organizing books tend to lean towards minimalism. However, this book appreciates that some items hold significant sentimental value for some individuals. Therefore, instead of focusing on getting rid of stuff to create space, the author gives tips on how one can organize their belongings to create room. I found that quite comforting since I do struggle with letting stuff go.

The only downside to this remarkable book was the numerous grammatical errors. I flagged quite a number. This made the book's authenticity about organization a bit questionable. However, I believe a round of editing will rid this book of this unfortunate vice and give it the perfection it deserves.

I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars. No matter how much I desired, I could not give the book a perfect score due to the aforementioned errors.

I recommend the book to anyone who feels their home is full of clutter and does not know where to start. The step-by-step guide will help in tackling the issue as the author has classified cleaning one space at a time.

You emphasize the book's practical approach to home organization, focusing on decluttering and classifying possessions into categories like keeping, donating, selling, or trashing. This approach is appreciated, especially for readers who struggle with letting go of sentimental items.
