In the book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo really helps the readers to simplify their lives. Starting at home by decluttering, you learn simple steps that will help you become less stressed at home and at work. You realize what actually brings joy to you, and what doesn't. By getting rid of what doesn't bring joy, you make your life less complicated.
One really important thing I learned was that when most people clean, the clutter always seems to come back, right? The book points out that this is because we don't throw things out, basically, we are just moving items around. The first step in the process is actually discarding items that you have,that do not bring joy to you. You need to rid them from your home. This is really an important step. You want to surround yourself with possessions that bring joy to you.
The book also goes through the steps of what possessions in your home you need to start with to get the ball rolling. Clothing is the first item on the list. One of the major pitfalls is that people start with rooms in the home. Always think in terms of category, not place.You learn systems in all categories that will help you keep the clutter away forever.
The author, Kondo, is a cleaning consultant with years of experience in decluttering the lives of so many. If you want to learn how to simplify your life, relieve stress, clear your mind and even in some cases loose weight, this book is for you. The book is a New York Times Best Seller, well worth your time. An easy reading book, that will bring pleasure to your life.
