A Monk's Guide to a Clean House and Mind by Shoukei Matsumoto

2.0

---

It was suggested as a companion read to Marie Kondo and the Swedish Death Cleaning books but it struck me as increasing thing management, not decreasing. I read it and realized it would feed perfectionism...there is a right/wrong way to do nearly everything. One could clean all day and still not be done. Not exactly what I am after. But if you want to live like a monk, this has all the rules and tools you need. Of course, you'll have to quit your job and work all day on cleaning every last thing you own. Good luck!
