Longtime lurker here. My comment may sound like negativity at the start, but by the end it won't be, I promise.

I tried reading the KonMari book, but only made it through the first chapter or so. The author sounded like my Mom to me who had tried to educate me through constantly criticising me. It's a German thing (if I don't criticise you, it's praise enough...). So I put the book down and didn't look back.

Intrigued by your comments on her Netflix show and your efforts (and successes) I watched a couple of episodes, where she comes across as much much kinder. And though I thought the "put everything in a heap, then decide what to keep" method would overwhelm me, it made so much more sense when seen in action. To realise how much stuff one really has (and how much of that doesn't spark joy or isn't really necessary) might be the way to go after all. I might give it a try this year, after the hubbub at work has died down a little.

TLDR: Thank you for inspiring me through your comments and actions that the KonMari method might be a good thing after all. Keep up the good work :D
