It had barely been three weeks when I was tempted to break my New Year's Resolution to not buy any physical books (digital copies and digital audio don't take up shelf space so were exempt). I was waiting for my husband to catch up with me in a Sam's Club and found a book that I had just been reading about on a blog. The back cover made the book even more appealing and I could NOT imagine walking away without it.
I did however resist temptation and looked the book up on my library app (Yay public libraries!). It was The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. This book went right along with my need to pair down my 3 bedroom to a 1 bedroom (well 1.5). I loved Kondo's approach to treating tidying as appreciating your belongings, being grateful for what you have, and viewing your items as what you want to keep.
Word of warning--when she says do it all in one day, If you read the follow up Spark Joy you'll discover that she most likely means do each stage in one day. Or, at least, I'm thinking of it this way to help avoid guilt of dragging out the process.
