I used to be kind of skeptical of the genre, and the hype around certain titles. I recently read Marie Kondo's "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up", though, and it really resonated with me. For awhile it had felt just impossible to create space in my life for the things that are most important to me, and the clutter around our house was one manifestation of not being selective enough about what I let into my life. I've de-cluttered following her method pretty intensively and it's awesome. I'm trying to be more selective about what obligations I let into my calendar - and to say no more - as a cluttered calendar is an even bigger mental drain than a cluttered house. Hopefully I can make changes there as well.

I'm curious what has resonated with others...
