- I'm a big fan of Marie Kondo. I think the most revolutionary idea she has is one that is often overlooked she has given people (especially women) permission to figure out what makes you happy and get rid of what doesn't. It's hard to believe how many of us (especially women) live lives encumbered by the "shoulds" of others, while totally ignoring our own preferences, and I think this book is another great example of that.
Please note, I'm not a hardcore Konvert - I've done things a bit more gradually than she prescribes... but her philosophies have really changed how I see my material things, and her books provide wonderful inspiration for anyone creating a home. Historically, I struggled with letting go of items because of the emotional significance attached to them, and this manga tells a very sweet story of Marie Kondo helping a young woman with that same struggle. I read this after having already read the first two, so while it wasn't "new" to me, it was really delightful. It's a lot more concise than "Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" and "Spark Joy" (both of which I really enjoyed, mind you), which means it is a great read for people who are pressed for time (or don't love reading longer books, or want to offer someone a quick intro to the method); it covers the essentials of the KonMari method and uses the visuals and narrative format to give some extra punch to the advice - I have two of the books on the Spark Joy philosophy. One even in Audio Book format. Yet I never seem to get through them. Yet in Manga, being a visual person, I got through it in a couple of days and actually Screen Captured some of the lessons and combined them into a note to remind me and help me keep and discard things that did or didn’t Spark Joy. Unlike some others, I had no issue with the head character falling in love with so many people (it happens in real life) or that learning to keep only things that Spark Joy actually might lead to better relationship (there are far more to relationships than love relationships) and how it opens up your life. I highly recommend this book. So enjoy.
- Love it. So adorable. Fast read. Shows the concept and teaches the process in an easy to understand way. I like that the character Chiaki goes through a lot of the same reasons that we all do when you've never lived in a "non-messy" environment. I always thought it was just who i am and there were ppl who are neat and ocd and ppl who r not and then hoarders. But its all a choice and it helped me recalibrate my thoughts on why i never got rid of things. I thought if i had a memory i was suppose to keep it or if it wasnt broken i had to keep using it. Or certain clothes didnt have holes so better keep it even though its 10 yrs old and from high school and i dont fit it. The life changing magic of tyding up changed my life 2 yrs ago when i bought it. I didnt get to finish the process last time, but i have restarted it this week and this book helped resurge my spark.
I did the clothes purge and got rid of a basket and a half to donate and threw away another basket worth. In the initial purge there were 2 baskets worth of my boyfriends clothes mixed in so i had to seperate that out as i went. All the white tanks are for work under my uniform. I have the hung stuff rising to the right but kept my workout tops in one section at the end together. I'll still have to reorganize them, but they feel better i think. Love that the drawers look pretty and i can see everything. Cant wait to do more and finally decorate aftr living in our new place for a year now. I want it to feel like a home not an apartment. We dont plan on moving for a long time so i dont feel like if i hang stuff on the walls im just gona take it down latr anyways so whats the point. I want to enjoy our space before we get a house, if we ever decide to, that is. - So I'd read through Marie Kondo's initial book a while back, and it was good information, but I guess I just didn't have a frame of reference for it. A couple years later I was frustrated with my apartment and my closet again, and noticed that there was a manga version of the book. It had good reviews and didn't seem very long, and I'd just read The Curated Closet and Goodbye Things, so I was in a better headspace to absorb the information this time.
Long story short, THIS PRESENTATION WAS FANTASTIC!
I even picked up a hard copy of this for my physical shelf and I think it will get to live there for quite a while. Also, I think when a character was used to go through the process (Chiaki) even though I don't have the same issues, it helped to see that it's not just a clinical process that hits everyone the same way, but it's a personal (I can't believe I'm going to use this phrase...sorry universe!) journey from where you are to where you want to go, and at some point if you're doing it right, it's going to feel weird. - I read the original book a few years ago and tidied up a lot, loved it. (I did not finish, but I’m getting there, I got stopped with injuries.) But I also have been trying to teach my 8 year old daughter about the core concepts. She loves graphic novels, so I picked this up in the hopes she would read it, and she did!
After reading it I asked if she liked it and she said “I did! But I’m still not going to do it.†;-)
Then a month or so later she picked it up and read it again! And while cleaning her room with her grandmother yesterday said “you sort by categories, not location!†I said, “oh so you remember that from the book?†And got a face from her (doesn’t want mommy to be right) but I’ll take it. So while it may take her a bit to fully embrace, it was an approachable way for her to learn about tidying and she’s learning to let go of things she doesn’t need at a much earlier age than I did! - The book is great. The e-book format is awful. The print is often small and very hard to read. I can't find a way to make it larger.
Marie helped me deal with the emotional side of keeping stuff so I could let go of what I no longer need - A condensed version of the two books. Enjoyable to read. Art style is very cute as well.
