Summary of Marie Kondo & Scott Sonenshein's Joy at Work

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

Book Preview: #1 The first thing that greets you when you get to the office on Monday morning is a desk covered in things, things, and more things! Piles of documents, random paper clips, unopened letters delivered who-knows-when, and a laptop plastered with sticky-note reminders.

#2 Clutter is bad for business as well as individual productivity. It can be solved by tidying up.

#3 I had been working as a salesperson for a staffing agency, but I never seemed to improve. One day, after another discouraging round of sales calls, I put down the receiver with a deep sigh. I realized that I had become lax in my tidying habits at home.

#4 The Pygmalion effect is the idea that the tidier someone’s desk is, the higher their evaluation of their character and capacity will be. This raises their self-esteem and motivation, which in turn leads to better performance.
