Marie-kondo

Reading Greg McKeown’s book “Essentialism” not long after my husband and I Marie-Kondo-ed our home, I discovered a similar philosophy could apply not just to our stuff but also to how we all spend our time.

Marie-kondoing the family belief systems might be the work of a lifetime, but each book we get to look at and ponder over liberates us. It is not comfortable—like sitting in an old, dimly lit attic breathing dust, crouching down on hard wooden floors, trying to read age-old books, the ones with the really tiny font without proper spacing.

“Gently used books” sound good in theory, but unless obvious great care is taken to match the book with the recipient’s interest, it looks like you’re taking advantage of the occasion to do a little Marie-Kondo’ing.

We need to approach winter the way the Pilgrims probably did. We’ll gather around the fire (the TV) and spend time darning our socks (Marie-Kondoing our closets) and telling each other long stories (bingeing The Crown) while we wait for spring.
