Nothing really new, sadly it just seems like a way to make more money. It *did* make me want to get back into organizing/simplifying though. Luckily I got it from the library so I don't feel it was a total waste.
I felt pretty similarly about this book as I did Kondo’s other one. Good information, I’ll put it into practice.
This book was a great follow-up to her last book! I use this one to follow her more detailed ways of tidying and read different categories as I worked on them around the house. My house is making such great progress!
I haven't read any other reviews, so my apologies if this is what everyone else is already saying. This book probably didn't need to be written. However, it includes information that would have been helpful when reading The Art of Tidying:
1. Illustrations to demonstrate her method of folding & organizing, since we all had to go to YouTube to figure it out.
2. A bit more discussion of how to tackle the "komono" or miscellaneous category of possessions. That's anything that isn't clothes, books, paper, or memorabilia. So, you know, just your electronics and office equipment and cleaning supplies and DVDs and hobby supplies and decorations and makeup and first aid stuff and everything in your bathroom and your ENTIRE kitchen. It was nice to see that broken down a bit, with specific instructions on how she likes to organize bathrooms, kitchen, etc.

I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and was challenged to start tidying in a whole new way. This book took it a step further and gave detailed instructions for each step and gave more insight into other areas of the home. I appreciated the sections on folding and storage. It made me even more excited to keep tidying my home.

The books feel a bit out of order. This masterclass contains the specifics I was looking for and the first book contained the history and motivation. I think it would be good to put them together as one and reduce the duplicated stories.
Super helping and it actually has changed the way I fold clothing. I read this about two and a half years ago and I have never gone back to the way I used to fold clothes since.
More redundant with the original "Magic of Tidying" than I was hoping for, but good inspiration for a round of spring cleaning. Soon my bras will stored "like royalty"
Library book.
Marie Kondo is so Extra. I'm super charmed by her animism even if I think her rules are over the top. Now excuse me while I thank my socks for a job well done today.
