Welcome to Litsy!

I laughed at this section probably more than I should have. 😂 Been decluttering preparing for a move that is going to be happening either in August or September so mortality has been peek-a-booing around every corner. 💀🪦🫠

A really interesting look at getting rid of things. Lots of tips and methods for deciding what to keep. A simple easy read. Though I disagree about the book parts. You can never have too many. 4*

It‘s interesting that I started reading this before our house hold spending had to be cut really tight (last months vet bills). I enjoyed reading Cari‘s story, and how she went about learning to be a more mindful consumer. Something I myself am learning to do.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've had a StoryGraph account for years, but back when I initially signed up, I didn't feel that it was as good as Goodreads, and stopped using it. Now, as I am trying to move away from Amazon (after learning how much the company takes from book sales), I've decided to try out StoryGraph again.

You can find me there @ FortifiedByBooks with the pic of 5 year old me sticking her tongue out at the camera. I'll follow back as soon as I get settled.

Downloaded and ready to go for tomorrow

It's wonderful to find something that reinforces ideas you've already started implementing in your life. This book preaches a life where the attention economy is deprived of your attention. No social media on your phone. Limit the time you do access. Choose high quality news sources only including a newspaper.Your time=their money. Take back your time. Suggestions of how are given throughout the book. Take the time to read this and apply it.

I decided to listen to this for two reasons. I‘m trying to live more intentionally and I‘m trying to minimize the stuff in the house which I feel I‘m doing a great job with. Hubby, not so much. This wasn‘t 100% what I was looking for but I did have some takeaways.

I'm giving it a so-so only because of its repetitiveness. The principles laid out in it are practical and can be implemented, though it may take effort to win the family. It is worth reading, but beware of the repetitive nature chapter to chapter.
