Spark Joy or not? Tidying Up With Marie Kondo

I read a buzz about Marie Kondo's Netflix show so I watched the first episode yesterday. Marie Kondo is very famous in Japan and she's called "Konmari" in short. I've read her book once or twice and I tried her method, (don't ask me if it worked or not) but after I've watched it, and I actually wrote about her book 3 years ago and I totally skipped the most important thing she's talking about. "Does it spark joy or not for you?" I have watched the first episode with a young couple with two little adorable children in a beautiful house. Their house doesn't look so bad but got a lot of junk. Before starting tidying up the house, Marie Kondo sits down on the floor in the house and greet to the house, like meditating. Then, take out all the clothes you have and put into one pile Next, take the clothes one by one in your hand and see if that particular thing spark joy or not. If not, you say "thank you" and say goodbye. ...

Marie Kondo is a very famous tidy up specialist in Japan. She published a book in Europe and the United States and became popular too. I read her book in Japanese once. Her method is, instead of folding up your shirts and piling up,  roll your t-shirts and pants in the drawer and display so that it's easy to see what you have. Before you do that, you need to take out what you have and re-organize. You might need to throw away worn out stuff. I tried with my drawer a month ago and it's working good, so I did to my son's and daughter's drawer too. I hope the inside of the drawer will look this way for a while.. It worth reading her book if you are serious about tiding up your house!
