Ever since I read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo, I’ve been a fan. I’m not the tidiest person and I’m the type to keep stuff so her whole philosophy is aspirational for me.
I’ve attended a book signing and a talk that she did in NYC and I’m hoping she comes out with a book specifically about tidying with kids. I know she also started doing yoga.
Here are some other articles I’ve read on the whole phenomenon.
1. Some think it is as annoying as juice cleanses, given how trendy it became.
2. My older sister, Sheila has her review of the book here. My three sisters and I updated our messenger group on our individual Tidy Festivals, complete with before and after photos.
3. After tidying, you’ll probably go shopping. Marie Kondo’s Anthropologie shopping trip documented.
4. Gentlemen, even the magazine GQ advocates for a throwing out all the crap in your closet.
5. A stronger economy plus New Yorkers becoming Konverts equals a 22% increase in Goodwill donations. 112 million pounds of stuff.

7. I was at the same event that TAFFY BRODESSER-AKNER attended and I even spoke to her afterwards because I saw her interviewing Marie. I’m now also a fan of Taffy’s writing. Her profiles are the best.
