Will Tidying Up magically change my life?

I like all my stuff.

If someone does not like me because of my stuff, their loss.

I visually like to look at many things together because it is interesting to me. Plus they are all things I like.

It is not dirty. It is cluttered.

Nothing magically changes your life.

Ive only owned one set of hex keys in my life. A little rusted but never lost.

Truth be told, I leave my hexes unlocked.

The method we are talking about says if an item sparks joy, keep it.

I like the look of many things too. I've never been able to accomplish that look but I admire those who can.

Some folks have the most interesting things on their tabletops and it feels happy and cheery. I have a basket of newspapers, a pair of jeans, @ bottle febreze, bleach, jar of borox, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, bag if apples and the toast detector that comes down from the wall when I maje toast. Some people have a knack with clutter. Not me.

Some homes look like very interesting and talented people live there. Mine looks like I need help.

It can.

Not magic.

Im doing it all wrong then. I chop the compost fine so it rots quickly. Otherwise it blows around. The kitchen aink and bathroom have to be imoeccably clean.

Its the spaces that should be auspicious that are outrageous.

I havent thought of feng shui in years.

Your untidy house is a reflection of your untidy mind - but since humans are pathetically simple beings then yes it will help train your mind. Also do things in good time, don't leave every fucking thing til the last minute - if you have a to do list get it done already don't leave it all just floating around - it will make you feel MUCH BETTER!

Simple stupid things, but seeing as we are in fact simple stupid things - it does make a BIG DIFFERENCE to your state of mind.

The mind doesn't have a firewall - surrounded by ugly disjointed stuff, graffiti, trash, neglect, disorder, dirt, noise dejenerates, blah blah, it all has an insidious effect on you - good luck!

But it is awfully nice to have order and cleanliness in your home

Some people just automatically sense the correct settings

However there seems to be some important areas
That should be double checked, alternated and experimented on
until living area is constantly redirecting with the seasons people occupying that space etc

Sleep is 1/3 of your life

You'll get no rest next to railway track
Some people enjoy that activity

That is
Direction school looks primarily at birth year
Not sure why, but it works on multiple levels

Just send me your bloody birth year
And I'll send a link or 8

No. You will steal my identity and tell on me. Google already stalks me when I buy groceries. Its intimidating.

fucking freaks

If you have an Iphone you can download the app which breaks down each section into subsections. I glanced over it to get a sense of how to sub categorize, and it helped with being overwhelmed. Follow her advice to pull everything out and put it into a staging area. For example, I pulled out every item of clothing out of my room/closet for the category i was working with. I used my living room as a staging area, and went through the process of deciding which to keep and which to sell/donate there. It took me 2 solid days over a weekend to go through all of my clothes and fold them in the manner which she recommends. the folding methods look trivial, but they do help. I got rid of 2/3 of all my clothing and kept was was beautiful and essential. It takes me literally 15 minutes in the morning to get ready from shower to door. This is all due to the konmari method of having all neat and tidy. The worst categories are paper and sentimental. I'm still working on both of those in layers. Best of luck!

Often times the anxiety we feel stems from feeling out of control. And often if you take control of your environment you feel better.

You can download the near 5 hour audio book here.
