The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

BATB score: 4/10

From hoarders to minimalists, Marie Kondo makes life extremely simple on what to keep and what to toss.

Here's how: Hold X up. Ask yourself, "does X spark joy?". If yes, fold X vertically and keep X neatly. If no, say thank you to X and throw X away.

Replace X with clothes👘, books, photos, boyfriend/girlfriend, or even your career; and life is now X item less cluttered.

The book itself can be thoroughly summarized into a 2-page pdf with Arial size 14 font in double spacing format. Actually, the few statements above already summarized the book.

Fun fact: Cards/gifts once given have completed its purpose. Marie Konmando state throwing them away is 100% acceptable. I've been dying to burn them but felt like a bad friend/girlfriend/colleague/daughter *lighting a lighter 🔥*.

Best for: rational minimalist enthusiast willing to literally throw X Y Z shit away because X Y Z sparked de nada joy
