I do wonder how Marie Kondo came to be so wise so young! She published her book when she was in her mid-twenties I think.
She points out 'Tidying is not actually necessary' and 'is not the purpose of life'. She says that the fact that you are reading her book means that you are probably looking for change 'to reset your life'.
I'm still working through papers. Handouts about self-employment/taxes etc all out of date and available now at the click of a button. Teaching ideas which are by now firmly implanted in my head. Thoughts on books read long ago (I'm an inveterate note-taker, probably because I am visually dominant - I learn by seeing). So much paper. taking up so much space! I have a few files in the loft, maybe 5 or 6 and a shelf of folders in a cupboard in the study....getting there.
Where? Oh, yes, that 'click point' when I have just as much as I can properly handle...
Sometimes I race through it, sometimes it is like wading through treacle. Do you find this?
I fear she won't be any help when it comes to clearing/selling/donating art work though.....soooo emotional! My paintings are my personal diary! I envy writers who can both keep and sell and give away their work.
I've added a new page 'Studio' to this site. (Click under the banner photograph.) i have not got much on it as yet....
