New Year, New Home: Organize Your Life!

Greene County Public Library

Staff-created list

I think, for a lot of us, 2024 was a long, busy, maybe even overwhelming, year. I have been looking around my house, feeling like it's past time to declutter, organize, and do a deep clean. Somehow I have accumulated so much stuff without trying. For 2025, I'm planning to simplify my home. To get rid of things I don't need anymore, from furniture to collectibles and even, gasp, the expensive purses I never use (I found out that designer leather is HEAVY!). Is something like this a New Year's resolution for you, too? If so, here is just a sampling of the books the library has to help us.

Live a bigger life with less. In Declutter Like a Mother, Allie Casazza comes alongside you to explore: why decluttering calms anxiety in your heart and lessens tension in your relationships; how to ensure your house is working for you, not against you; why kids thrive when they're not overwhelmed with options; and how to make time, when you feel you don't have time, to declutter. Allie Casazza was tired of feeling it was her against the laundry in her home. She wondered if somewhere beneath her frantic days and the mountains of toys in the playroom she would ever find joy and peace in motherhood. Then she discovered the abundance … of less. As she purged her home of excess stuff, Allie discovered a lifestyle that strengthened her marriage, saved her motherhood, and helped her develop her gifts in a way that no amount of new kitchen appliances or new organizing system ever could. Research studies show a direct link between stress levels and the amount of physical possessions people have in their homes, and Allie has seen that truth play out in her own life and in the lives of hundreds of thousands of other moms she has mentored through her business and online courses. She proclaims: You don't need a home that's perfect. You need a home that's lighter. Discover less stress, more space. Less chaos, more peace. Less of what doesn't matter, so you have room for what matters most of all. Show less

A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing

If you're struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn't fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity— and the functionality of her home: You don't work for your home; your home works for you. In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as 'I can never keep up' and a chaotic kitchen as 'I'm a bad mother.' Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, 'I am alive,' and at stacks of dishes and thought, 'I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row.' Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time and energy. In this book, you'll learn exactly how to customize your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home, including: how to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection of your worth; how to start by setting priorities; how to stagger tasks so you won't procrastinate; how to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine; and how to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to functional. With KC's help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will become a place to rest, even when things aren't finished. You will move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here. Show less

Tidy up your Life

Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters Most

When it all became too much-for their 750-square-foot apartment and his nerves-he set out to unpack the physical and emotional mess around him. Chronicling his progress as "Tidy Dad" on Instagram, he learned that tidying is about so much more than the aesthetics and decluttering of a physical space. When he stepped back, analyzed, and named what was just enough, he was able to devise systems and hacks that brought order to his whole life. Drawing on his experience with the everyday highs and lows of parenting, home management, and work/life balance, and filled with his signature warmth and wit, Tidy Up Your Life includes: Tidy Dad's process for tackling Big Picture overwhelm-how to identify what really matters both emotionally and physically to you and the people who share your space. How to arrive at your own definition of "enough" as well as thought experiments for appreciating what you already have. The goal is not "always tidy" but "easily tidied" and other principles for lifting some of the mental and physical burdens we feel when managing our homes. Tips for making a "one-area-a-weekday" cleaning schedule and other simple routines that compliment household rhythms and eliminate intensive weekend cleaning. Helpful illustrations of Tidy Dad's innovative organizing concepts Show less
