Cilley, who got her nickname as a former fly fishing instructor, also offers daily nudges to get you moving in the clutter-free direction. Among some of her sassy de-cluttering strategies:
• The 27-Fling Boogie: Grab a garbage bags and proceed as quickly as possible through your house, tossing in unused, unwanted items until you collect 27. Close the bag and throw it away. No peeking!
• Hot Spot Fire Drill: Zero in on the one area of clutter in your home that's persistent and tends to expand. Eliminate it - right now. No waiting!
• Five-Minute Room Rescue: Spend just five minutes cleaning the most cluttered room in your home. Repeat for 27 days.
