Reading Marie's books just soothes me, okay?
*throws book out of the window*Didn‘t spark joy.
For white collar workers, primarily, but there are a lot of good takeaways here about what it means to have joy at work. If you liked Kondo's Tidying Up, you'll dig this.
I started listening to The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, then saw this book, and as I was at the same time wondering what to do about my email clutter, I made a pause to listen to this one.And I'm more or less happy with the book's solution to the email problem, so fine, thanks :)Otherwise, one must note that this book is by Marie and another guy; she mostly speaks about physical clutter, and I'd say that if you read her book on tidying up, y...
This book did an amazing job motivating me and making me take action cleaning up my digital clutter! I cleaned up my entire email inbox, and my hard drive, my desk, and how I go forward maintaining less clutter. A tidy workspace is a tidy mind :)Marie Kondo also has great advice on keeping the right mindset. She has really great tips.Way too corporate for me though lol organizing teams, your social network, meetings. The title does say "Joy at Work" though so I can't complain hahaMarie gives gre...
Absurd as it sounds, Marie Kondo seems like a kindred spirit to me as I have a similar love of tidying. Although my working-from-home desk is already arranged neatly (left to right: lamp, ring binder of notes, pencil, laptop & peripherals, 2 coasters) I enjoyed reading her advice on workplace tidying. Unlike her previous books, this one is co-written with someone else: Scott Soneshein, a US business school professor. His chapters of the book reminded me quite a lot of Cal Newport's A World Witho...
Mess, disorganization, and a cluttered desk can ruin your joy for your job. Some of my biggest take-aways were the strategies to cope with digital clutter and the ways your work environment can help reduce your overall stress levels. KonMari fans who work a desk job will be interested in the stories, studies, and strategies shared by Marie Kondo and Scott Sonenshein that make for a more productive work environment. - Michelle V.
This book is overall just OK, and therefore disappointing. Mostly because the sections by Mari's co-author - which amounts to more than half the book - were next to useless.Sections by Marie: good. I quite enjoyed reading about her struggles with maintaining Joy as her business grew and new challenges arose, as well as when her children were little. The self-reflective parts of the book by Marie were easily the best, and also the most relevant to her students - which, I doubt, is what the author...
3.5 starsI received this book as a Christmas gift from one of my friends who is a huge Marie Kondo fan. While I did enjoy this one quite a bit, some parts I felt were repetitive and mostly stuff I had heard before — this was mostly chapters 4 and on, where Kondo’s co-writer Scott Sonenshein writes about tidying as it pertains to digital work, time management, decisions, and networks. To be honest, when I read the “note to reader” at the beginning of the book and discovered that, out of 11 chapte...
The humor of reading this while being quarantined at home is not lost on me. It may seem irrelevant to read about sparking joy at work when you’re not physically in the office, but I find that many of these principles still apply. My desk right now is actually a dining table, which I’m also using as my mask sewing area. It’s cluttered and distracting. Kondo states that keeping a clean workspace allows you to focus better on your work, and I find that to be true now more than ever when I’m having...
Big thank you to Little, Brown and Company for the ARC!Marie Kondo again writes a wholly accessible and applicable self-help book! Despite being a college student not yet in the professional scene, I still found the advice and tips helpful, especially within the realm of digital tidying up! I am someone who considers herself a bit like Marie, in that we both enjoy keeping only what (in my case, think) we need. This book helped me see that while yes, I may be able to find all my things rather qui...
fun to read & useful - inspires you to tidy not only your desk (i found the idea to keep no paper too radical at first, but helpful then!) - but also your decisions, your projects & your meetings.
Pretty basic stuff. Only a few chapters are by Marie Kondo. The rest are quick hits on a lot of topics that don’t currently apply to me.
It took me a couple of days to read this, since I kept getting up in the middle of it to organize something in my office. Which I suppose is a good testament to the strength of her method.If you have never read Marie Kondo before, this is a great book to start with, especially if you are a blue collar worker. She focuses a lot on group teamwork and how to spark joy together at the office, in cleaning your office space, and delegating tasks; her co-writer also talks about this, and how to organiz...
A quick and simple (not to be confused with easy, necessarily) plan to tidy up your workspace and bring joy to your work life. I’m an enormous fan of Marie Kondo. One might be justified in saying I love her. I’ve read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying up at least six times. Scott Sonenshein is a successful author as well, although unfamiliar to me. I really liked his parts of this book. I think I will look into reading his book, Stretch. I work in my home, but I still found this stuff really us...
I really liked reading this book!*** UPDATE *** Full review is now up on my YouTube channel:https://youtu.be/rp0LzqgXkBw
