I love the idea of having less stuff and being more organised. I know that some of us are better at it than others. I guess we all do what works for us and as long as it doesn’t impede on how we function on a daily basis, maybe it doesn’t matter how much stuff we have...
I possibly spend more time reading about how to have less stuff than actually physically doing anything about it! I’m not sure artists have been added to the equation. I keep/collect in able to (re)create but inevitably, the project pile increases. Do we need to worry about it so much? I’m not sure.
This book contains the same kind of useful information as similar titles with plenty of scenarios, perhaps a little repetitive. I’m feeling it’s all about develop good habits. Buying and acquiring less to start with. No quick fixes here, an ongoing project.

It was interesting to read the book that inspired Marie Kondo and the subsequent konmari craze that has swept millennial culture. She offers some useful mindset for common mentalities such as “I’ll just keep it for now.” I like best get discussion of thinking of everything as trash first, of considering your purpose for an item and then discarding it once your purpose is fulfilled, of designating one spot for a category rather than letting it overflow into multiple places, and choosing one place where you will NOT put anything.
However, I found her examples a bit trite to read and much of her recommendations are repetitive. It’s not a big book- 166 pages- but it could have easily been half the size and communicated the same information.

I love KonMari, so it was great to read the book that inspired her.

This is the book that inspired Maria Kondo and her Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I definitely could see a lot of similarities between the two and a lot of the ideas that Kondo built on. There were also a few things that Kondo had clearly changed or discarded. Overall I definitely liked Kondo's method better, but for those who just can't deal with her weird personification of objects this book might go over better while containing many similarly helpful ideas.

Had some good ideas but too repetitive. Could have been a lot shorter and said the same things.

I'm abstaining from rating this. I didn't find it super applicable to my current life, and it feels dated.

A little more toss-happy than Marie Kondo, but good advice at heart.

Mostly, I had to return it to the library. I didn’t feel like there was anything I hadn’t read or heard, very Marie Kondo (although I believe that she read this book as her philosophy was solidifying).

Averci messo quasi un anno per leggerlo può farvi capire quanto l'abbia amato... *ironia*
Se in principio era Tatsumi, grazie a Marie Kondo allora per averci illustrato meglio questo "mondo". Il libro è terribilmente noioso e prolisso anche a causa della ripetitività e dalla schematizzazione fallimentare che si trova leggendo le pagine.
Il secondo libro della Kondo almeno aveva qualche illustrazione che riempivano le pagine, questo invece è praticamente come il primo libro della Kondo senza illustrazioni e con qualche differenza in merito ai modi di buttare.
Da consigliare solo se proprio volete sapere tutto sul riordino e principalmente su come e cosa buttare.
