Small space organization so you don't drown in your own shit.

Marie Kondo lied. Joy is a terrible metric when you're standing in 400 square feet trying to find the can opener at 11 PM. You need function, not feelings.

This guide is what 15 moves and 8.5 years in Japanese apartments taught me about surviving in boxes. Vertical thinking. Dual-purpose everything. Military packing principles. The ruthless sorting protocol that actually works when you're too exhausted to commune with your socks.

No Instagram aesthetics. No aspirational minimalism. Just operational systems for keeping small apartments functional when life is chaos.

Inside:

• Why everything must earn its rent.
• The 2-minute rule.
• Evening reset protocol.
• What the Japanese actually do (not the white-linen-tunic version).
• How to purge without the emotional crisis.

Your apartment is a machine. This is the maintenance manual.

Function over feeling. Always.
