I watched Marie Kondo on Netflix and decided to find her book for more tips. The book follows her development of her tidying process, and the process itself. She examines other philosophies and tips and shows why they fail. Then at each step of her process shows how it counters a potential pitfall and why it succeeds. I really enjoyed both the shows and the book. I have taken action on some of the process but not a full beginning to end complete endeavor. I still have hopes.

I never get through books (even little ones, like this) quickly. But this one has me filled with hope and a hint of motivation, which has been lacking for write some time. I’m a little leery, but I’m going to give it a shot.

I haven't started actually tidying yet, but I like a lot of her philosophy. there's a lot of attention paid to how to emotionally let go of different types of possessions and it really makes me think it's doable.
