Joy at Work

by Marie Kondo and Scott Sonenshein

Find your focus - wherever you're working - with Joy at Work.

Marie Kondo's first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, sparked a new genre of books and became an international bestseller. Now, for the first time, you will be guided through the process of tidying up your work life. Whether you are unexpectedly working at home or if you have a dedicated work space or office, if you properly simplify and organize your work life once, you'll never have to do it again.

In Joy at Work, KonMari method pioneer Marie Kondo and organizational psychologist Scott Sonenshein will help you to refocus your mind on what's important at work, and as their examples show, the results can be truly life-changing. With advice on how to improve the way you work, the book features advice on problem areas including fundamentals like how to organize your desk, finally get through your emails and find balance by ditching distractions and focusing on what sparks joy.

Like how the key to successful tidying in the home is by tackling clutter in the correct order, Joy at Work adapts the inspirational KonMari Method for your professional life, taking you step-by-step through your working day so that you can identify the most joyful way to work for you. Once you've found order in your work, you can feel empowered to find confidence, energy and motivation to create the career you want and move on from negative working practices.

I absolutely adore Marie Kondo and this collaboration with Scott Sonenshein was just wonderful. Joy at Work is a very interesting read for those who are looking to be more productive in their work life and Marie Kondo's 'Konmari' method provides an easy, thoughtful way to do so. I really enjoyed the parts of this book about digital minimalism which were a collaborative effort between the two authors and felt inspired to minimise my own digital life through this.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an Advanced Readers Copy in exchange for an honest review.
