Ep 21 | Book Review: The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning
Karin and Kristyn explore the Swedish art of death cleaning and how it integrates with the KonMari lifestyle.
In this episode, we review The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning by Margareta Magnusson. Instead of “does it spark joy,” we explore the question “will anyone I know be happier if I save this?” We review what parts of Death Cleaning sparked joy and what left us wanting more, as we compare this tool to the KonMari Method. We also apply both death cleaning and KonMari to answer a listener's question about managing clothing and papers.
Now, we want to hear from you. Tell us your burning tidying questions or share stories about how KonMari has impacted your life.
