The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
informative
3.0
Pros: there’s definitely some elements to her method that I think could be very useful! I’ve been itching to clean up my bedroom and I found this helped center me a bit.
Cons: the book spends most of its time telling you that this is the one and only way to get your home tidy, that if you do it right you will never been untidy again(and she’s never had any failures!), that you will be more successful, happier, healthier, prettier, skinnier, etc. Really (sarcastic). It completely overpowers the occasional mentions of how she herself has been wrong and how a space should cater to the individual.
Surely at this point there is a more direct manual to the konmari method, which I’d recommend pairing with How to Keep House While Drowning to keep you in the real world.
