You probably don't realise this, but every working day you replay and re-enact conflicts, dynamics and relationships from your past. Whether it's confusing an authority figure with a parent; avoiding conflict because of past squabbles with siblings; or suffering from imposter syndrome because of the way your family responded to success, when it comes to work we are all trapped in our own upbringings and the patterns of behaviour we learned while growing up.

Marie Kondo's first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, sparked a new genre of books and became an international bestseller. Now, for the first time, you will be guided through the process of tidying up your work life. Whether you are unexpectedly working at home or if you have a dedicated work space or office, if you properly simplify and organize your work life once, you’ll never have to do it again.

Still, it’s a universal truth that most people have to work to earn a living. That means the average person spends about one-third of their life on the job. Put another way, you will spend 90,000 hours at work over the course of your lifetime. Whether you love your job or hate it (or fall somewhere in between), how can you improve the way you experience this very important aspect of your life?
