Very Useful
It’s nice and comforting to read people who share same experiences, and, plus, you can get useful tips. Thanks the author.

Discussing KonMarie method for us all.
I found this book on the author using the KonMarie method of Tiding in her small condo very enlightening. 640 square feet is small for a house. Her reactions to the methods and figuring out what works for her were very interesting to me . Some were an A-Ha moment for me. I just
did the clothing portion for myself with Marie's book, and I still get a thrill of accomplishment looking in my underwear drawer( cheap thrills). I'm looking forward to using both ladies' tips as I head into book sorting next.

Enjoyable read
Practical advice and perspective from clients point of view. Also insight into realistic outcomes of taking on the "kon-mari method" of tiding up

Nothing terribly new here but it’s helpful to understand someone else’s journey through KM. Certainly less traumatic than watching an episode of Hoarders to find motivation.
