Taylor S’s Reviews > The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing > Status Update

I appreciate some of the knowledge and advice here, but I’m again struggling with the lack of guidance about joy. I have yet to try her suggestions, so I almost want to wait to review this book until after I declutter to see if what she’s written is sufficient. But right now, I think this book could really benefit from clear descriptions or even anecdotes of what “sparks joy” really means … tbd.

Enjoying this but I’m feeling stuck somewhere between “this is everything I needed to hear” and “you just don’t get it Marie Kondo”… for example I find it so weird making sentimental items a separate category from items like clothes, books, etc. as if I don’t have clothes or books that are sentimental to me! And idk if joy is the right criteria for whether I keep items or not .. will expand more later
