The Art of Discarding: How to Get Rid of Clutter and Find Joy by Nagisa Tatsumi

3.0

This book is dated but there are some still relevant messages. She advocates to not buy into all the guru storage methods because they don’t work if you’re not like the person who came up with it. There was also a bit about not trying to use techniques from foreign countries, which is ironic since this book inspired Marie Kondo’s.

The problems I had was that there was a large emphasis on paper discarding, which I think it becoming less relevant now that more is digital. She covers some concepts about recycling and thrift store donations, but she never gets past surface level explanations.
