Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
4.0
I "read" this in 10 minutes in the library.
Unlike most self-help authors, Kondo doesn't talk around and around her points to fill space. I appreciate that. It would be good if she had more to say, but I guess she's holding back some stuff for her third book.
The illustrations are nicely drawn.
Kondo is a proponent of square and rectangular bins and stacking shelves. I will get some of these for the bathroom and kitchen cabinets. I will not, however, lay a towel over the toilet paper to hide the toilet paper. First of all it's important to know where the toilet paper is. Secondly, I don't need one more towel lying around in the bathroom.
She advocates folding all your clothes, even underpants. I will give this a try, but not the underpants. Life is too short to spend it folding underpants.
Kondo says teach your kids to fold clothes and then you can all fold clothes together; it will be fun. I will try this, though my hopes are low.
She says that if your partner has a bunch of crap (not her actual words) what you should do is look at each piece of crap for one minute and see if you can find joy in it. This is when I thought swear words and slammed the book shut.
I will try the rectangles and the folding, though.
