      “The Courage to be Disliked” by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitaki Koga. I know you may not see yourself as a guru, but you have become one of my favorites. I cannot wait to read your first book.

    something i’ve learned with reading a lot is that it’s ok to not want to read a book anymore or dnf it, to not let it become an obligation. i also keep a list of books i want to read in my bullet journal, sorted by genre so when i’m in the mood for something new i can look for it that way. the more streamlined and less obligated it feels, the better and the more you read that’s meaningful. there’s a quote from my favorite book that says something like “it is better to know one book intimately than 100 superficially” - best of luck with your reading adventures!

    I’m currently re-reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I’ve attempted once before to tidy up using this method and ironically, I fell into a lot of pitfalls Mari Kondo talks about. I kind of gave up but I’m trying again :)
    It’s so cathartic to see you tidy. 💕

    I´ve been decluttering these days during the quarantine - clothes, skincare, makeup items, books, paperwork, drawings, socks, decoration, furniture .. E V E R Y T H I N G. I truly need less items in my life since I felt like suffocating. Also, thank you very much for your videos ♥ I do not only like watching them, but being inspired to move on too ^^~

  • @angeraptor
    @angeraptor 5 лет назад +1

    Always love these videos from you, Rowena! It always motivates me to do my own cleaning. I feel you so much in regards to the books! I would force myself to get through a book even though it no longer interested me, which I learned worked against me in the end because then I would see reading as a chore instead of a leisure activity. Also, one thing that totally changed the game for me in terms of reading and being more mindful in consuming and consuming less is going to the library! It seriously changed my life. I used to love buying books - and subsequently most became books I never ended up reading. So now I go to the library, borrow as many books as I want, and if I really love the book, I purchase it for my own collection! That helps filter out books that I love from ones that I enjoyed reading but don't necessarily want to keep. Just thought I'd share in case anyone out there is looking for a way to save money and be more mindful of what comes into your space. Thanks for sharing this video!

    the thing about reading multiple books at once is so true for me too. I always feel this pressure to finish my books, update my goodreads etc before I go onto my next book. Screw that tbh, reading should be enjoyable and if I wanna read a romance novel before sleeping because Im tired, im gonna do just that! Love the video :)

  • @whatsohareads
    @whatsohareads 5 лет назад +2

    Thank you for this video, omg. I am rarely inspired by videos like these, Idk why (maybe it was the mindset/environment I was in when I watched those particular videos) but this one did. Like, I literally feel like getting up right now and going through stuff and Marie Kondoing some stuff and yeah. But it's late at night and I have college tomorrow so I am making a promise to myself that the next time I find myself with free time, that's what I am going to do. Thank you, Rowena :)

    I definitely need to go through my closet this way. I have been wearing the same outfits for too long, so I either need to rediscover my closet or let go of things I'm no longer drawn to. I also need to make time to start reading again. Miss it so much :(

    @maximm17sj 5 лет назад

    I can definitely recommend going to the library instead of just buying books. If you decide you don't like it, or not in the mood for reading it, you can return it and check it out again if you ever want to. This has really helped me make space in my outer spaces. GoodReads is a good app to keep track of what you liked/didn't like, what you have read, and what you want to read.

    I love you so much my sweet. I have watched to your videos since last week as I was looking for some advice to cope with the streams which are and going to appear in my life. Just like the rest who are listening and following the steps you had suggested, I have to say that they are really practical and super useful. It has been making a positive impact and change the way I think a lot. It indicates me to peace, harmony and bless away from the pressure, depression and anxiety that we accidentally has created. Anyway, I do not know why I fall into your voice, super cute.

    I started Konmarying my closet on Friday for the first time and while I have quite few clothes, it's nice to be able to see them all at once. Otherwise I usually end up pulling a shirt off a hanger that's in the middle-ish, which used to be black and grey print tees (which I love), but I never really got to wear the colorful items on the sides.

    Book rec: this is not a non-fiction (it's sort of a post apocalyptic sci fi novel) but: Station Eleven. It has a really good message - the main thesis of the book is: "survival is insufficient", which is a quote from Star Trek :) Basically the idea is that just surviving the difficult situation, whatever it is, is not enough: humans also need meaning, which comes through doing things we love and are passionate about, and music and art.
