Talk:1983: Clutter

So that book mentioned in the title text is real. I had to Google it because I'm a horribly cluttered person and have never been interested in actually being organized. https://www.amazon.com/Life-Changing-Magic-Tidying-Decluttering-Organizing/dp/1607747308 ... Just in case anyone else was also curious. From the product description on Amazon, the main concept of the book is that you should only retain items in your home that "spark joy" - thus there is a joke implied that Randall is already doing the main concept from the book without having ever read it. 108.162.221.53 15:11, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Martin Or it could be that he read the book to the part where it tells him to only retain items in your home that spark joy, realizes that the book is not one such item, and throws it out.

I've always also seen spring cleaning as a time to go into storage and pull out the warm weather clothes and pack away the snow clothes until the next year. 172.69.22.200 20:55, 20 April 2018 (UTC)Rowan

My hard drive is more organized because there can be symbolic links on hard drive and some stuff can be organized automatically by software. -- Hkmaly (talk) 00:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)

The idea to throw away everything which doesn't spark joy is similar to the idea of never have employment which doesn't spark joy. It's helping a lot if it works, but if you can't find such job, what are you supposed to do? (Wait. It's japanese book. Committing seppuku may be considered an option.) I think that the tidying book not sparking joy is not about irony in getting rid of item which would help him, but a practical example how such idea doesn't work for everyone. -- Hkmaly (talk) 00:52, 21 April 2018 (UTC)
