You might just find that her methods can benefit you too.

1. You learn the true meaning of nostalgia. Marie touches base on how we hold onto items due to pure nostalgia. And while this is common and ok even, we might be hanging onto items that don’t bring us joy. Just because you have had something for a long time or someone special gave it to you, it doesn’t necessarily mean you must keep it. When it comes to belongings, Marie helps you make smarter choices that bring you joy.

2. You learn new folding techniques. Marie does an excellent job demonstrating some new folding techniques that can help you better organize, store, and view your belongings. If you are at a loss on how to efficiently do any of these tasks, you are sure to learn some new methods.

3. You get to toss the hangers. With this method, you are shown that folding clothing is more efficient than hanging clothing. This means you get to toss all of those hangers! No more hanging, no more looking for hangers, no more tangled hangers. Are you ready to be hanger free? This may be the method for you.

4. You will find out what sparks joy. You will hear the words “sparks joy” a great many times in this book. You will truly learn what sparks joy in your own life and use this to help you get organized. When you find what sparks joy in your life, you will easily let go of things that in fact, do not. Soon, you will apply this method of thinking to more than just your belongings, but towards other aspects of your life too.

5. Your items will be respected. Although it seems silly at first, Marie teaches readers to respect their items, whether it be expensive jewelry or the socks you wear each day. This method helps you look at your belongings in a new way, a way that can help you make better organization choices.

6. You learn a new organizing order. Do you typically organize room by room? Do you do the kitchen, then the bathroom, then the bedrooms? Marie will change that. Instead of organizing room by room, you will organize subject by subject. For example, you will organize socks first, then books. This new order may seem unconventional, but in the end, it may prove to be more efficient for you.
