What a fun read, Anangsha! I'm Team Messy and a lot of ideas were brewing in my mind while reading this.

1. What's your Meyers-Brigg type? I'm an INFP - Ps tend to be messier + open-ended, big picture thinkers, from what I understand, while Js prefer working within clear parameters and are much more organized.

2. Spark Joy is the only organizing book I've read from start to finish. I have many decluttering books adding to my bookshelf clutter (haha), but Spark Joy was the most helpful. One reason? It's short and well-organized. I may re-read to write about that for BAOS. :D

3. UFYH is a fun app for us messy people who do well with a little guidance on the mess front.

4. I think there's some magic line of having a messy home but it's still clean and makes sense--that's where I'd like to be someday.

5. In the meantime, I'll claim creativity as my reason for clutter--thank you! :D
