Welcome to Litsy!

The first day of my two week “vacation” - which doesn‘t mean no work, just no meetings! - and I met my goal of finishing this book and marking some pages for workshops/trainings I‘m planning to run next year. 🥰

I colored this picture and wrote this about it.

“Arrange the books in a way that looks good and makes sense to you—whether that‘s alphabetical by author, by subject, or by color, width, or height—or even just randomly.”

My sensation of horror just grew as I read this entire sentence. What kind of monster is Martha Stewart? Organizing by color, I‘ve seen (anxiety-inducing, but you do you) - but by width? Height? RANDOMLY?!

I don‘t think I can do this.

Great book on simplifying life with clear priority and purpose to achieve harmony!

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 was a slow reading month for me, which seems to be typical for March for some reason. I hope April will be a more book month. 📚
For those that watch A&E's Hoarders, the tagged book is by Dr Zasio, one of the therapists on that show, which I found really interesting. She's my favorite therapist on Hoarders.

I attended an author event, this past week, with Rebecca Thorne for the third book in her Tomes and Tea series, and a book was part of the ticket price. So technically that.

But before that, after *makes sweeping gesture at November* I bought the tagged book, along with Prequel by Rachel Maddow and Democracy Awakening by Heather Cox Richardson.

#SundayFunday Have a wonderful day, and don‘t forget to tag me in your posts!

This book is aimed at organizers, but I highly recommend it even if you (like me) don‘t intend to do any organizing. It‘s full of information, both actionable and philosophical. This is a book we need in this time of terrifying fascists destroying our government.

This was a really interesting and useful read. I could never be this minimal especially not with books and stationery but it did put me in the mood to reorganise my pantry and wardrobe. 5* #WinterGames2024 #HolidayBookDragons @LiseWorks

I think whether you are new to activism and organizing or are returning after a break, there is a lot of useful practical information here. It‘s not a “how-to,” exactly, but the authors share lessons that show how organizing works in the day-to-day, showing you how it‘s not about heroism but rather that it‘s an action anyone can do when we prioritize interdependence and connection.
