Decluttering It took three hours for me to organize my bookshelf in the living room. That means I have hundreds of more books in other bedrooms. According to KonMari method from the book named The Life-Time Changing Magic of Tyding Up, I must discard any items which are not sparking joy to you when you touch them. Honestly, there are only few books sparking joy. So I might have more work to do with the bookshelf in the living room. Now I have more space in the bookshelf so it can hold new books with no problem.
