What have you been reading today? Everything counts, from a novel-length fic to the labels on your washing!

I keep forgetting to open these posts in tabs and come back to them when I have read a thing. So I will comment here for yesterday: I finished reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo. I'll give her method a shot...probably Saturday, maybe later today. Testing it on the clothes before going on to any other category of item.

The KonMari Method is basically "Does it spark joy?" If not, bye. Though one does observe that a strict application of that rule would send my work slacks into the Goodwill pile, and I kinda need my work slacks in order to be appropriately dressed on work days on which for reasons I do not want to wear a skirt.

I suppose taking work slacks off when you get home and know that's it for the day could be interpreted as sparking joy...

Heh, yeah...

I like the idea of it, but I find I have to ask "does it have a function (which can't be met by anything else here)?" before I can actually get rid of things.

Which is a good approach too, I'm sure!
