Reply to comment by mry13 in renting or buying: which do you prefer and why? by Cartographer_Waste

God I am so, so tired of the clutter. Currently working on debooking my claustrophobic 1 room apartment.

Thank god they invented the e-book. I seriously grew up dreaming of that shit.

same here look, Kondo’s method is great for decluttering. she suggests keeping no more than 20 books and to focus on titles you’ll reuse, and reference, or keep those which “spark joy” as she says. the main problem with clutter is emotional baggage, i.e gifted books, books bought on impulse/sale, inherited books, and so on.

I love the idea of decluttering, because it leaves room for books you'll love, but I'm not sure I could limit myself to 20. 😲
