"How to Tidy Your Mind: Tips and Techniques to Help You Reduce Mental Clutter" by Anna Barnes offers a straightforward guide to decluttering the mind, managing worries, and reclaiming inner peace. While the book provides some valuable insights and practical techniques, it falls short of achieving a higher rating due to certain limitations.

One of the strengths of Barnes' book is its timely focus on addressing the prevalent issue of worry, especially considering the challenges many have faced in recent years. The author acknowledges the normalcy of worry but emphasizes the need for change when it starts impacting mental and physical well-being.

The incorporation of mindfulness, meditation, and other techniques as tools for mental decluttering is commendable. Barnes offers practical advice that readers can easily implement in their daily lives to foster a sense of order and tranquility within.

However, the book has its drawbacks. The content, while helpful, lacks the depth and thorough exploration that some readers may be seeking. The brevity of the guide leaves certain topics feeling underdeveloped, and readers might find themselves wanting more in-depth explanations or examples.

Additionally, the writing style, though clear, lacks the engaging and captivating quality that could have elevated the reading experience. The book's tone is more instructive than immersive, making it less likely to resonate emotionally with readers.

In conclusion, "How to Tidy Your Mind" is a three-star guide that provides practical tips for reducing mental clutter. It addresses a pertinent issue with useful techniques, but its brevity and lack of depth may leave readers wanting more. While it serves as a helpful introduction to the subject, those seeking a more comprehensive exploration of mental well-being might find other resources that offer a deeper dive into the intricacies of decluttering the mind.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and burdened by the constant worry in your mind, Anna Barnes' How to Tidy Your Mind is must-read. It’s a book you can go back to whenever you’re in need for a calming voice!

Terrific how to book on calming your mind. I loved the quotes throughout the book. It’s a quick read with lots of great advice.

This book is provides several ideas and techniques to calm your inner mind. It’s one that you can pick up and flip through to find the exact advice nugget that you need in the moment.

Anna Barnes' HOW TO TIDY YOUR MIND confused me. While I am a huge fan of decluttering and focus and essentials, this book didn't pull together the way I hoped it would. While there are many quotes and interesting passages, the book didn't have a consistent message that was organized to enable a person to genuinely make a change in their life. While the premise of starting way back in the process of analyzing your thoughts, habits, and goals deeply appeals compared with charging into one particular aspect or mantra or approach, I didn't feel the book as written accomplished its promise. It's pretty, extremely lightweight maxims and principles. While there are moments of possibility, they feel more like an early draft and collection of smart ideas rather than a coherent and convincing book. I received a copy of this book and these opinions are my own, unbiased thoughts.

This book was just okay. I really wanted to love it more, but maybe I was expecting too much from it instead of enjoying it for what it is.

What I loved:
-This book is visually stunning! The cover, pages, and quotes all looked beautiful. The font was nice and easy to read.
-There are a lot of good reminders that are important to remember.
-This was very easy and quick to read based on the format. This would be ideal for someone who has ADHD or trouble focusing.

What I didn't love as much:
-I felt like we didn't receive a lot of new information. For example: the book mentions eating better and practicing meditation. I really wanted more strategies and specific ideas that would contribute to brain fog and clutter.
-I don't feel like many of the ideas stuck with me. It was cute, but I don't think it actually helped to actively clear my mind or give me enough tools to do so.

Truly, I just wanted more from this book. I think a great idea would be for the author to release a workbook on tidying your mind. This could include spaces to write in with prompts, ideas, and more. I would love something like this that is more journal-esque. Maybe a place to doodle or relieve stress as well.

Overall, it's worth a quick read, but don't expect it to be life-changing. This is more of a supplemental book, maybe to start getting you in the right mindset, but it doesn't really fulfill its title. Thank you so much to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher for allowing me to read and review an advanced copy.

If you are feeling overwhelmed and burdened by the constant worry in your mind, Anna Barnes' How to Tidy Your Mind is must-read. With practical tips and techniques such as mindfulness and meditation, this book helps you declutter your mind and find inner peace.

While some of the information may be familiar, the way it's presented is unique and perfect for those who struggle to focus. I found the exercises helpful and motivating. I also appreciate that it is visually pleasing.

I don’t know if I learned much by reading this - it was very general, high level and vague in terms of advice. It was also very quote heavy, which is okay, but they took up whole pages and didn’t contribute much to the message of the book. I was looking for more detailed recommendations, this just wasn’t it.

Good things come in small packages?

I received an electronic ARC of this tiny tome through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review, and I think I need to purchase a hardcover for myself as an ongoing reference whenever times get tough.

There is a surprising amount of good advice in this little guidebook. It may not be all new information, but it is presented in this cute, compact volume in pleasantly concise clips.

How to tidy your mind is a glorified blog post with pretty word art to make the content fill 160 pages. If you have ever thought of doing a brain dump or other simple actions for mental clutter, this book will be nothing new. Possibly a good gift for a therapist to have in their office. Or for your entirely unaware friend.

I really enjoyed this self help book. It’s value is in its guidance on how to declutter your mind and why we should. I enjoyed the quotes too, from a wide range of people, from Nicki Miraj to Lao Tzu!
My review was in exchange for a digital copy from NetGalley, for which I’m grateful. I would recommend this to anyone feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands and the demands we place on ourselves.

Wow, this is just the book I needed to discover right now! I’ve been struggling lately to focus on what I need to, feeling my mind is pulled in many directions & jumping around from one thing to the next. How to Tidy Your Mind offers help with this problem, and in an approachable way!
I love the quotes, explanations, and color scheme of the book. The info is presented in a way that makes it feel achievable to apply to your own life.

Unfortunately I was unable to provide feedback on this title because it was not available to download on Kindle. I would be happy to try again if the format is changed.

How To Tidy Your Mind is a book that belongs on everyone’s bedside table. I don’t believe there is one of us that isn’t experiencing information overload and mental overstimulation on a daily basis. It is a modern issue and we are just now realizing we need a solution,

Anna Barnes does a beautiful job walking us through the steps that help us to gently tidy our busy, overworked minds. The book itself is aesthetically peaceful and easy to pick up and read bits at a time. I highly recommended this for anyone experiencing mental stress, anxiety or fatigue.

A beautiful look though how to utilize your inner light in life and how to make your life brighter. Pun intended. Highly recommend. Especially loved the reflection to true life to humanize my feelings and relate. I felt like this book was SPEAKING TO ME. I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

I received a copy of this in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

Ah, mental clutter. That's a nice way to put things huh? I'll be the first to admit, my mind is overflowing with constant worries and stressors. I feel like there's a never-ending stream of things coming in and out. So the title certainly intrigued me. I also need to say that I typically don't enjoy any sort of "self-help" themed books. I find that most of them are pretty ... nonsensical or bs in ways. As harsh as that may sound.

And that line of thinking continues on with this book. It's full of some ... nice enough quotes and statements telling you WHY you should "tidy your mind," but not many REAL suggestions on how to best do so.

The cover is pretty, and that's... the nicest thing I can say about it all, ha.

This book was very simple, full of motivational quotes and different ways to tidy your mind. It was a quick read but very refreshing. Thank you for this ARC.

This book is half quotes and half telling you why you should tidy your mind. Half way through the book it gets to the how. It is basically unsubscribing from emails, jotting things down and meditating.

I really liked the layout and colours used in this book.

I enjoyed reading the quotes doted throughout to breakup the text. It was an easy read and it was a book you could skim and pick up and it down. As you don’t feel overwhelmed. I think I’d prefer to read it as a physical copy rather than digital

The tips are simple and straightforward on the whole a motivational book

I loved this! I struggle with having a clear mind, and this book was amazing at describing the work it takes to tidy it and live a happier, healthier life. Would highly recommend to anyone who struggles with overthinking.
