Marie “KonMari” Kondo’s book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing is a best-seller in Japan, Germany, and the U.K. Kondo favors a radical approach to decluttering that advocates downsizing your stuff in one fell swoop; insists that storage containers promote hoarding, not organization; and takes an emotional approach to helping people discard excess possessions. Here, Kondo shares an excerpt from the book. 近藤麻理惠的书《改变你一生的整理魔法：清理与规整的日本艺术》在日本，德国和英国已经成为畅销书。麻理惠喜欢快准狠的清理方式，支持人们快刀斩乱麻的清减囤积的物品。她笃信储物箱会促使人们产生囤物癖，而不是鼓励人们整理物品。她从情感上帮助人们放弃多余的所有物。下面是麻理惠与大家分享的一些摘自她书中的观点。 “Discard anything that doesn’t spark joy.” If you have tried this method even a little, you have realized by now that it is not that difficult to identify something that brings you joy. The moment you touch it, you know the answer. “抛弃所有不能让你开心的东西。”如果你曾经尝试过这种方法，哪怕只是一两次，你就会知道，想要发现某样东西能否给你带来快乐并不是一件困难的事情。只要触碰到它，你就知道答案了。 During the selection process, if you come across something that does not spark joy but that you just can’t bring yourself to throw away, stop a moment and ask yourself, “Am I having trouble getting rid of this because of an attachment to the past or because of a fear for the future?” |
