Things I bought into:

Order of tidying
Method of tidying (take everything out at once)
Touching each item and asking if it brings you joy
Storage solutions (vertical storage)

Things I did not buy into:

Talking to my home
Talking to my possessions and telling them thank you for their service

Also, it frustrates me that she emphasized so much decluttering and getting rid of stuff but didn't stress the importance of donating when possible. She talked about people throwing out 50-100 trash bags but didn't once mention donating them to a shelter. How wasteful.

That being said, I'm excited to start the process on my home this summer, beginning with my clothes and books. I'm hopeful for what tidying can do for me.
