Tidying is not an innate talent; it’s the continuous effort of clearing up things the right way

Tidying is not something that comes with age or home experience. Older people don’t necessarily tidy better than younger people because tidying is not relative to age. If you want to be very good at tidying, then this summary teaches you how to do that using the Konmari method propounded by Marie Kondō .
When you remove the useless things around you, you create enough space for other things that are valuable to your life.
While you are thinking of which objects should stay or go, a part of your mind is also thinking about storage. You are trying to determine where you’ll put all the stuff that you are keeping. Sorting clutter and putting them in storage doesn’t create the change that’s expected to come with tidying. Simply folding all your clothes doesn’t mean you’ve tidied your room, it only means you’ve arranged your clutter inside the same place but at different locations. The clutter remains, and your room is still untidy — which is why you have to sort by categories and not by location. The worst part of it is that if you’re not careful enough, clutter will cause rebounds, which is when you keep on tidying over and over again without achieving a fulfilling result. This has a high chance of discouraging you about tidying. Mastering the techniques behind tidying will make your life better in many ways. Continue reading to find out how you can learn new tidying skills.
second key point

Tidying up improves your physical, mental, and emotional strength

Why should you tidy up? This is a question that has a straightforward answer — or so it seems. A lot of people believe tidying is just for keeping a place in order, but it is more than that. Tidying is an art that should be studied and mastered because it’s not as simple as people think it is. While there are many courses on a lot of things like yoga, cooking, sewing, and many others, you will rarely see instructions on how to tidy up and keep places in order. The idea behind this is that tidying up is expected to come naturally. Many believe that it cannot be taught or passed down from one generation to another, like cooking and sewing. If you think back to your childhood, you’ll discover that you were barely taught how to tidy, and even if you were, it was not reinforced until you mastered it.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

An excellent concept, executed well. Headway can help you retain what you've read while introducing you to the essential core of new information. It's an easier way to stay inspired, and to be reminded of the mental tools you've learned

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
