And that’s why I’m here. I’ve read many many books about organizing and being minimalist, and I’m here to guide you through which ones to choose based on what you’re looking for. Think of it as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” in book selection.
For the organizing newbie who is not sure where to begin:
For me, this book is the OG. I bought this book in 2015 and it started my organizing obsession. I talked about it constantly, and passed this book around to several of my coworkers and friends and family. Then, when Marie Kondo started her show on Netflix, I devoured all the episodes in one binge watch. It’s a great book to start with and gives you a disciplined look at how to organize by category.

For those who thrive on consistent routine taking it a little at a time:
Or if you are someone who has an Interesting Fact a Day calendar. I loved having this book to refer to consistently. It’s numbered by days after you start, so you can pick it up at any time. It not only gives you tips on organizing, but it gives you emotional support and ideas to explore in yourself each day. I like how this book gives its readers continued support<different word> throughout your year-long (or however long it takes you) organizing journey.
