Joy at Work

 Joy at Work: Organizing Your Professional Life by Marie Kondo  242 pages

Yes, Marie Kondo strikes again, this time aiming her sharp eyes at your office.

"The workplace is a magnet for clutter and mess. Who hasn't felt drained by wasteful meetings, disorganized papers, endless emails, and unnecessary tasks? These are the modern-day hazards of working, and they can slowly drain the joy from work, limit our chances of career progress, and undermine our well-being.

There is another way. In Joy at Work , bestselling author and Netflix star Marie Kondo and Rice University business professor Scott Sonenshein offer stories, studies, and strategies to help you eliminate clutter and make space for work that really matters.

Using the world-renowned KonMari Method and cutting-edge research, Joy at Work will help you overcome the challenges of workplace mess and enjoy the productivity, success, and happiness that come with a tidy desk and mind."

I admit it: I have not read her other book. I have not followed the Kon-Mari method in my personal spaces. Although I admit I have recently been reading back issues of Real Simple and was way too excited when I created an organized (and attractive) linen closet.  But, I was intrigued by her approach to work spaces, especially since her theory is that a more organized work space leads to happier work. And, my current office and desk setup are driving me nuts, so I figured this book might have some ideas. I'm now looking forward to organizing my space and making it more workable!
