12 Wisdom You Should Know from Marie Kondo’s Second Book “Spark Joy” – Part 1 of 2

Contents

SUGOI! (Japanese equivalent of “Awesome!”) The sequel to The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up is finally here!

I have been waiting for this book ever since I de-cluttered my place KonMari style. Truth be told, I wasn’t sure if I KonMari-ed correctly because ever since I completed the process, I’d had numerous moments when I took out my clothes and felt no particular excitement. I thought everything you now own should make your heart tick. I was beginning to wonder if I didn’t go far enough with the KonMari method. Not only that, I still had burning questions about how to approach things that I needed but didn’t bring “Joy”..

So when Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up was released last month, I hopped on it like a thirsty bear and devoured the whole book in a matter of 2 days.

The book was just what I needed. It reinforced some of my speculations, answered many of my questions and brought fresh new insights into my world of tidiness.

Now that I am in the process of revising my closet space and adding more sparks to my storage areas.

So without further ado, here are the 12 wisdom (part 1) I learned from her latest “Spark Joy” book.

1. It’s all relative!

2. Don’t toss just yet, if they save you time and energy, reconsider keeping them.

3. This is so true, a house is a house is a house.

4. Materials of similar nature should be stored in the same area if possible

5. What a neat concept!

6. Add spark everywhere!
