‘10-Minute Tidy Home’ by Sara Hunter is a practical resource for anyone seeking to organise their home efficiently. With hundreds of ingenious tips, this book helps declutter and straighten every room in just ten minutes. This book provides effective advice to create an organised and stress-free living space.

I almost felt insulted until I realized that maybe there are people out there who do not know you can stack bowls on a shelf or to store all of your pajamas together.. I found the hints mostly very common sense so didn’t really gain anything from this book

There are helpful tips in this new edition of Sara Hunter's home organization book, such as using a spice carousel and a flatware tray, but some things assume that you have a large home to start with. (For example, if I had space for kitchen appliances in a cupboard, I would definitely store them there instead of on the counter. But my kitchen is tiny.) Hunter clearly has a very organized home and mind. You're bound to find something useful in this volume, from tidying the bathroom to managing a home move.

One note: The author makes reference to her "borderline obsessive-compulsive disorder" and "insanity" in the dedication, but in a jokey way. I get what she meant, but also it's not very sensitive to people who actually have OCD or mental health issues. So that didn't set the best tone for the book.

A lovely little book with quick hints and tips that suggest ways you can sort your house, each taking (about) the ten minutes in the title. A good way to get motivated to tackle little things and get your home and life knocked into shape.

Little handy top tips at your fingertips. Some things you know or did know but probably don’t not realise it or do it. Good book with good points well written

really loved the concept of this book and wish i could put it into practise. It really needs my whole family on board and with toddler twins this is something i hope to come back to and also managed to take some hints and tips away with me for now.

I think we’ve all looked around the house and wondered how we got so much stuff and what we can do to keep it organized and tidy. Sara Hunter has wondered too, but she took action, and now she helps others find their happy place at home. With over 400 ideas for cleaning and organizing all the rooms in your house, 10-Minute Tidy Home can offer you more suggestions than you’ll know what to do with to create a calm and peaceful home, to entertain with ease, and to travel and even move with clarity and organization.

And many of these ideas can be done in ten minutes or less, so instead of trying to organize everything all in one weekend (and feeling overwhelmed), you can do a little every day or every week, and end the year with a far tidier house than you started with.

Store utensils in a crock. Keep magazine recipes in clear protective sheets. Hang pots and pans. Put magnetic clips on the refrigerator for kids’ art. Discard old makeup and expired medicines. use towel hooks, one per person. Store bath toys in a mesh bag inside the shower. Digitize home videos. Hang a letter rack/key hook by the front door.

Store toy cars in a plastic tote. Organize the board games. Put winter clothes in tubs under the bed in the summer. Use robe hooks and a jewelry box. Put all hair accessories in a caddy. Hang bags on a coat hook in the closet. Use a hook on the back of the closet door for hats and caps. Put beach accessories in a large tote bag.

Use a large calendar for family events. Back up devices. Scan business cards. Calculate credit card rates and create a 12-month budget. Clear out old emails and voicemails. Hang a closet rod in the laundry room. Use plastic stackable drawers for sewing or craft supplies. Store ornaments in an egg container. Use hooks to hang rakes, shovels, and ladders. Put an umbrella stand by the door.

For entertaining, make a guest list with a space for responses. Set up holiday playlists. Decorate the house early. Make sure there are hangers in the guest room. Set up a basket with bottled water and snacks for guests. Make breakfast the night before. Establish an end time for children’s parties.

For moving, write down details. Put all your essentials in one box. Unpack kids’ rooms first. Make the beds as soon as they’re set up.

This is just a handful of the hundreds of ideas in this book. Will all of these ideas work for everyone? Of course not. But with the number of ideas 10-Minute Tidy Home offers, there is something in there for every home owner. And not only that, having someone offer up ideas for organization helps you look clearly at the rooms in your house and see what other things you can do to create a simple, warm house. It’s a jumping off point that you can use for help and for inspiration.

10-Minute Tidy Home is a great resource for those who feel completely overwhelmed by the details of their life, and a treasure trove of ideas for those who are organized in some areas but not others. Some of the ideas may seem simple, but they can still stimulate creativity and help you create a home and a life that is organized, tidy, clean, and peaceful.

This was a great book and a really helpful tool in motivating me to get my house in order. I'd definitely recommend this to friends and family and will look out for it in stores to buy fr Christmas presents. Thanks again for allowing me an advanced copy.

Thank you NetGalley, publisher and author for this book

Half way through I realised I am already very tidy but that is probably because I've read "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up".

This has lots of good tips for various rooms and things and thankfully I am already pretty tidy but it did give me more ideas and some I could use at work.

This didn't really have any helpful tips except put everything in boxes, which feels like this would cause more clutter and disarray. Just start putting things in totes and boxes and everything will be all good. The entertaining portion was a little better. Overall this book felt like a dud to me.

I loved this book.
The tips were verry helpful and I really recommend it for people who are moving out and for people who loves to organise.

10-Minute Tidy Home is a handy book that gives some useful information and advice. Easy to read and use.

This book was great! Inspiring and helpful - it is just like a Pinterest article, but a much needed one!

I enjoy the concept of the book, and frequently enjoy blogs and blog posts that focus on organization and design. However, the smaller physical size of the book, and sparse content on the pages doesn't lend itself to being a book I would collect for the library. It reads more like a browsing book that a dedicated follower would keep at home, or as a gift book to someone moving to college or into their first apartment/home.

I have to confess I am a little disorganised and it helps me a lot to read and prepare myself for cleaning excercies.

We are living with 2 grown ups and 2 children in a little House, ans sometimes it is a little overwhelming to tidy up after 4 People.

This book helped me to get some ground work done.

I am very grateful that i got the chance to read it.

A breath of fresh air after the last "10 minute house organisation" book I recently read! So many tips! So practical and useful! Gave me quite a few ideas I'll be putting into practice over coming weeks/months/years.

Don't let the title give you high hopes. This 200-plus page book will not get your house tidy in 10 minutes. Rather, the book is full of ideas about how to organize each room in your home so that it will be tidier; these tips are meant to be done in 10 minutes each. It really isn't about decluttering or cleaning, the latter mentioned in the subtitle of the book. I found some of the tips to be super basic and common sense, while others were ideas I had not thought of. Not every tip would be something that everyone would use or need, but there is a lot in here that gives food for thought about how to have a more organized home. Despite what the author promises, not every tip would take only 10 minutes to accomplish. Some would take only minutes, while others could take hours depending on your current level of disorganization. In the introduction, the author does suggest that whatever task you attempt, to only do it in small 10-minute doses so that way you don't give up, overwhelmed by the task or the greater sense of all that you need to accomplish.

The book is split into three parts. Part 1 is what I talked about above, where she gives tips for each room in the home, including the garage. She takes her organizational skills beyond stuff in the house for parts two and three. In part 2, she gives tips for having stress-free holidays, house guests, and parties. In part 3, she discusses travel and moving. I did find the book helpful, and I believe I will be implementing some of her ideas.
