Books that will help you to have the house well ordered

Order is important in our lives, learn to organize only once and do it well, readjust your life ordering, avoid accumulations, decide what to discard and what not ... The big key (and not so easy for many) is to have very few things, the more you have, the more clutter, the more visual recharge. Buy only what is necessary and give a second life to what you no longer use. If you order your house correctly you will be able to keep your room always organized, even if you were careless or messy by nature. The following books will help you on how to follow this path:


• Zero residue at home

Residuo cero is a book by Bea Johnson, blogger and provocateur by social networks that created the "zero waste" movement. The translation into Spanish was made by Esther Peñarrubia, who when she discovered Bea, was fascinated by her: her way of life and everything she practiced at home with her boyfriend, Bea had named her. It is an original and creative book, applicable from the simplicity and determination to our day to day. The hegemonic structuring of consumption is accompanied by the generation of waste that, in most cases, could be avoided. Use classic blades, only change the part of the blade to dispose of less, purchase in bulk, avoid buying plastic-packed food, be aware of what you have in the pantry ... are some of the practices that He proposes in his book that they serve both to help take care of our planet and to be aware of what we have at home so that we do not have more than necessary and, therefore, be more organized and aware.

• The Swedish art of ordering before death
In this book, Margareta Magnusson, helps through him to get rid of everything unnecessary to avoid the heirs work and fights. What she tells in her book, the Swedes have a word for it: «döstädning». "Dö" means "death" and "städning", "cleanliness, order". It consists of getting rid of everything unnecessary and turning the home into a neat and clean place before dying. Magnusson recommends starting with the storage rooms, getting rid of big things in order to have the feeling of progress, follow the clothes and leave the photographs or personal documents for the end. Because "if you start there, you will be stuck in the memories and maybe you will not get to something else". This way you will avoid that the day you miss, since it is inevitable, that your loved ones do not fight for the material and stay only with the beauty of the memories. It also encourages natural conversation about death and that each one tell his relatives what he wants to be done with his remains.
