Book: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
Author: Marie Kondo
Pages: 224
This is my 78th read for the year
Marie Kondo has always been into tidying. Even as a child, so worked hard to declutter her life and figure out the best ways to store her belongings. As she started to perfect her techniques, she shared with others and built a business helping people organize their homes.
This was an interesting book. I am a generally neat person living with 4 messy people, so I liked some of the suggestions she made and would like to try some of those in my household who tend to hold onto everything. Vertical storage is defiintely something I want to try with my husband's t-shirt collection. She had me until she got to books. Although - I don't buy even a lot of those. All my books "spark joy" because I only buy them for that reason. Otherwise I borrow!
I did hear that she has let go of some of her rigidity since having three kids. And I am sure a lot of people gave her grief about that. Honestly - we are all the same until kids come along. Try as we might, keeping up with organizing sometimes has to take a backseat to family joy.
