The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo

I read this book in part because I thought maybe I would get some useful tips on how to organize my clothing better.  This book is more about a whole lifestyle approach to tidying up and she really does bring a fresh new approach to organizing our lives.  She talks a lot about how we feel about our things.  Do they spark joy?  If they don't spark joy we should get rid of them.  I'm going to try this out on my clothing and jewelry first.  One of the points she brings up is how to organize your clothes better.  I admit almost everything I own including t-shirts and jeans are hanging in my closet.  Seems I really should be folding these garments.  Her tips on how to fold may help with the longevity of my clothing.  Here are some links.  I would recommend taking a look.  The book is an easy read too and might spark some enthusiasm for getting your home in order!
