60 Thoughts I Had When KonMari-ing My Childhood Room
I'm here to say the hype is actually worth it because after watching the show and reading the book Marie Kondo changed the way I clean.
1. Ok, this is incredibly overwhelming. Where do I start?
2. Open the book, open the book. Clothing!
3. Wow clothing is heavy.
4. That's a big pile of clothes, not as big as that crazy woman in Tidying Up though.
5. Ok what does sparking joy mean?
6. This is incredibly overwhelming once again.
7. Well I like this shirt a lot so that is definitely staying.
8. Marie it's working! I kind of did get a rush of happiness holding that.
9. Ok this and this and this and this and this and this and this and this all spark joy.
10. Wait do I really have to hold each one?
11. This is going to take so much time.
12. As long as I'm done by the end of today it'll be fine.
13. Then I can start on books tomorrow.
