Very quick read. I liked the anecdotes but there were a lot. I wish she would have spent more time than she did to explain the "how" vs. the "why". However I do think it's cool that her perspective from the medical field has helped her to make home spaces more efficient like she did in medical spaces. The systematic way she arranges clients homes is the one new thing I've learned from this book. I think this book is so short because she is using it as a way to get more clients for her business. Nothing wrong with that but I prefer other minimalist, clutter reducing books, because they don't require me to pay for a service or resource to learn more about minimizing. Also there were at least 8 grammatical errors/spelling errors that I found in the book. If you want to read this book to start your journey to simplify, that's great. But I don't think this will be the only book you will need to complete that journey.

A good short read, clear sensible advice. A good place to start if Marie Kondo is too intimidating.

A couple of typos (e.g. Sara changed to Tara half way through a page), which were a little distracting, disappointing they weren't picked up during editing.
