Better never to offend wife. Last week I read this somewhere.... "I made a mistake. I realised my mistake. I apologized. She made a mistake. I told her it was her mistake. I realised my mistake. I apologized."
Decluttering - a mindset shift.

Very true at home BOSS (wife) is always right. This is the Best tip for a husband..
There is a Netflix series on the book as well, enlightening to see how we hold on to things that don’t bring us joy. Definitely, recommend watching it!

Mine made me watch her show on Netflix, and now i am pretty much tied up tidying all the way from attic to basement; this too will pass.
I can help you to donate the book after you are inspired enough. my 14-year-old daughter needs it badly and she is obsessed with Everything Japanese.

Reading the book or tidying up??
Speaking of the author of the much talked about book; Marie Kondo revealed that one day she heard a mysterious voice like a ‘god of tidying’ that was telling her to look at her things more closely. After hearing that inner voice, a realization dawned on her. She revealed that “I was only looking for things to throw out. What I should be doing is finding the things I want to keep. Identifying the things that make you happy: that is the work of tidying."
