summary

Here’s the full title: The life-changing magic of not giving a f*ck: How to Stop Spending Time You Don't Have with People You Don't Like Doing Things You Don't Want to Do

I actually intended to buy Marie Kondo’s book and stumbled upon this one at the bookstore. Upon reading a page or two, I found it quite hilarious and entertaining and decided to buy this instead. This book is witty, entertaining, and a practical guide on how to manage your time. After reading it and decluttering my head, I was finally able to buy Marie Kondo’s book and tidy/organize my belongings. Thank you Sarah Knight and Marie Kondo!

My key Takeaways

1. The mythical people who don’t give a f*ck: Children, assholes, and the enlightened

   1. Knight delves into “How can I become one of those people?

2. Stop caring/giving f*cks about what other people think

3. Feelings vs Opinions

4. Make a f*ck budget: conserve your f*ck basket - give out your f*cks to things that truly matter to you - conserve your f*cks

5. Sory your f*cks into categories

   1. Things

   2. Work

   3. Friends, acquaintances, and strangers

   4. Family (save the best for the last)

I would recommend this book to

• If you want an entertaining time management guide

• You like Sarah Knight’s works - she provides very practical applications to her concepts

• You can’t say ‘No’ to people

• You are in need of some mental decluttering
