A year or so ago a lot of people I knew started to read The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondō. I have been intrigued about the idea ever since, but for some reason never took the initiative to read the book or declutter.

Well, for the past month I have started to really feel cluttered by my stuff. I was sticking things in placed that made no sense I had piles of books and papers everywhere. My room was beginning to feel uncomfortable and overwhelming. So I started to watch some youtube videos to actually see what this book was about. Through this little bit of research I decided to get the book from my local library and give it a try. I also bought her Manga called The LifeChanging Manga of Tidying Up: A Magical Story by Marie Kondō, which I already read and loved! Then I ended up coming across a blog called http://makinglemonadeblog.com, which is run by Carrie. I ended up finding this awesome checklist to go with the book.

With all of these tools, I am going to try to take control of my space again. I know I do not use a ton of the things I have. Old textbooks, boxes, books I did not enjoy, and knickknacks I have not been able to part with. So to keep myself accountable I am going to share my little decluttering journey with you all. I am still not sure if I am going to follow this plan to a T or use it as a guide, but either way I am very excited.
