Be Charmed by These Bewitching Books from 2025
Ethan asked this question about The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing:
Is she saying to get all of your clothes out onto the floor, and then sort them by category, and then purge by category? I feel like it would be difficult to sort by category if you've just dumped every category of clothing into one big pile.

It just so happened, I get one Friday off a month and the book was available right before Friday off and so I got major motivation to start the "clothes project" right away and in the AM like she says. I took all clothes from all closets and drawers and put them on my bed and I got angrier as I saw all the clothes I had, it was overwhelming. To keep from being upset about the mess, I immediately started grabbing all the clothes and handling them like she said but more with assurance that I knew I wanted to keep these. It took about 6 hrs but in the book she says the whole process is quick which she states is over a 6 month period but only time ever in your lifetime you will need to do this. By the time I was finished, the few clothes on bed I wasn't sure of were an indication to me that I didn't feel "joy" about them and so into bags they went. I feel so much better, took 5 bags to Good will. Books are next!(less)
