Joy at Work: Organizing Your Professional Life by Scott Sonenshein, Marie Kondo

3.0

I thought this was an interesting and motivating book. Okay so confession time, this book arrived addressed to me along with other books I did order, but I did not order this book at all. I contacted the place I ordered the book from and they said I didn't have to return it so I decided to keep it and read it. This was actually a pretty quick read and I do think I got something from it even though right now I'm not actually working I'm looking forward to applying these lessons to my own space when I get back to uni for my Master thesis. I do love both the writers, they both have an interesting voice and I thought it was interesting that they had both anecdotes but also actual research about the psychology of tidying up and how being organized helps you in different ways. Should I ever be in the position to get a house I will probably pick up some of these books to read and learn from.
Although this is not an amazing book (probably because of the nature of it - I mean its a non-fiction about tidying) I do think I'll re-read it whenever I do actually get a job (someone please not-hate me enough to hire me - I swear I'm semi competent).
