Magic Cleaning

I tried to like the KonMari method, but it wasn't for me. After 3 months of doing it, I went back to my old cleaning habits. Why? Because I was not satisfied.
Most ideas like everything has a place in the home and if it isn't used, give it away are nice and easy ideas of which I used many myself before. I love organization tools such as boxes and document holders, but some suggested ideas don't work for me personally. Sadly these were the most pushed and central ideas of the method: I love my big unread bookshelf because I not only say but eventually read books from it. I am a quite fast reader so ~ 120 books can be tackled in a year.
There are more things like throwing out boxes of products and there manuals which I will never do because warranty is quiet difficult without and I actually read the manual if I need something: I just don't pack these boxes in my living room!

To the book itself: The writing was selfish and arrogant (at least in the german translation) which made me furious sometimes. The tips were either presented clearly and super easy or hidden ( I think there were a few passages where there wasn't a clear tip given). Most of this book was a waste of time in my option. If you can think and have found an organisation technique that works for you: great optimize it and you will be much happier than reading this.
If you are messy or not quiet organized, this might be for you. Although I tried this on some of my friends and given them a list of tips based on the key points of this book. Guess what: It didn't work quiet well. They destuffed their apartment but were furious about things like all-year-closet or similar-things-in-same-area-policies. Not because of tradition, because it doesn't work for their apartments and live style as university students!
