The Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing

Marie Kondo

I still don't know why I wanted to buy this book the last time I bought books. The subject matter is completely different from the books that usually attract me. I didn't ignore my desire and bought it. Not only that, but I started reading it directly the night I bought it. I am still amazed at my enthusiasm for it.

The book talks about organizing and rearranging the home or office. The author has been obsessed with organizing since she was young. Her skills developed until she managed her own business in this field. She visits people in their homes and helps them organize them. In her book, she talks about the method she follows and recounts situations with her clients.

What attracted me to her style was her treatment of things as if they had a soul: treat your things with respect, thank them after using them, store them in a decent manner, wipe your things every now and then and let them be exposed to light and other values ​​that may seem silly at first but are actually valuable, especially if we reflect on some of our values ​​as Muslims: we greet someone when we enter a place whether there is someone there or not, and this is something she also mentioned, which is greeting a house upon entering it, and the moaning of the palm trunk when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, built a pulpit and left the palm tree, so he wiped it and hugged the trunk to his chest

The author says that talking to our possessions gives them life and gives them joy and radiance, which is reflected in the love we have for using them!

If you suffer from chaos in your home, this book will give you an unexpected solution to your problem. It is worth reading.
