I love KonMari, so it was great to read the book that inspired her.

This is the book that inspired Maria Kondo and her Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I definitely could see a lot of similarities between the two and a lot of the ideas that Kondo built on. There were also a few things that Kondo had clearly changed or discarded. Overall I definitely liked Kondo's method better, but for those who just can't deal with her weird personification of objects this book might go over better while containing many similarly helpful ideas.

Had some good ideas but too repetitive. Could have been a lot shorter and said the same things.

I'm abstaining from rating this. I didn't find it super applicable to my current life, and it feels dated.

A little more toss-happy than Marie Kondo, but good advice at heart.

Mostly, I had to return it to the library. I didn’t feel like there was anything I hadn’t read or heard, very Marie Kondo (although I believe that she read this book as her philosophy was solidifying).

Averci messo quasi un anno per leggerlo può farvi capire quanto l'abbia amato... *ironia*
Se in principio era Tatsumi, grazie a Marie Kondo allora per averci illustrato meglio questo "mondo". Il libro è terribilmente noioso e prolisso anche a causa della ripetitività e dalla schematizzazione fallimentare che si trova leggendo le pagine.
Il secondo libro della Kondo almeno aveva qualche illustrazione che riempivano le pagine, questo invece è praticamente come il primo libro della Kondo senza illustrazioni e con qualche differenza in merito ai modi di buttare.
Da consigliare solo se proprio volete sapere tutto sul riordino e principalmente su come e cosa buttare.

I didn't like this book but I now have an overwhelming urge to get rid of everything so maybe it worked?

So, this was an interesting read. Im definitely going to take some of the advices in it, however, I think some of these so called "advices" were taken too lightly. While I do agree that one must not place so much value on material stuff and be conscious of what we buy and why, the whole DISCARD IT ALL DON'T PAUSE TO REGRET IT was too much and it got annoying at some point. However, this book does have some interesting tips and time lapses to keep stuff and how to divide responsibility in the tidying up of a household that I'll keep in mind.

This book wasn’t what I was personally looking for. I found the first half to be promising, but it was repetitive towards the end.
Actually, now that I think of it. If this book was half the size I might have given it a four star review..
It was an interesting read anyway.
