Joy at Work
by Marie Kondo and Scott Sonenshein
Kondo and an organizational psychologist apply tidying to the workplace: desk, digital files, email, time, decisions, networks and meetings. The research on clutter and productivity is real, and the digital and calendar chapters are the most useful. The method is gentler here than at home.
Read it if…
your desk, inbox and calendar are chaotic and it is costing you.
Skip it if…
you want workplace strategy; this is about order.
Three things you will actually use
- Physical clutter reduces focus; clear it.
- Tidy the digital with the same categories.
- Tidy your calendar: keep what sparks purpose.
Do this first
Clear your desk completely, then return only what you use daily.
Our verdict
Practical for work.
