Okay, but then what?
This book is about the psychology of things - how and why we acquire then, how and why we organize them - or not, and how and why we do or do not discard things.
The author suggests an approach to acquisition, organization and de-acquisition.
Fine. I figured a few things out about my psychology. Get fewer things. Throw more things away. But - the middle step - the organization - is what I'm clueless about.
This book offers few if any concrete hints for organization. Evidently the psychological insight alone is supposed to get you through. Uh, no.
I wish I could return this book. I read it in one night and now it's just another thing to organize.
