Preview:

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo, an organization expert, details her KonMari Method, a rigorous cleaning program that promises swift, profound results. Kondo's beliefs are simple and straightforward: clutter makes your household - and your life - feel chaotic. If you rid your home of clutter, you'll achieve organizational bliss. Permanently. The entire process takes about six months, with some tasks that should be completed in one sitting, and others that may take days or weeks.

Kondo's recommendation is to handle each and every object in your home - literally picking it up and holding it in your hands - to consider whether or not it "sparks joy." If the object makes you happy, it's a keeper. If it doesn't, it should be discarded or recycled. It's essential to frame this decision as "What should I keep?" rather than "What should I throw away?" Once you have culled your belongings in this way, Kondo estimates you should have only about one-third of what you started with, perhaps less.
