The KonMari Method is Marie's genius approach to helping your hoarding habits. She "encourages tidying by category—not location—beginning with clothes, then moving onto books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items." When choosing which objects to keep and which to toss, she suggests asking yourself a simple, yet impactful question: Does it spark joy? If things don't bring you joy, her site says, "Thank them for their service—then let them go."

I've enjoyed the episodes I've watch, but now I'm wondering if I'm an "Odd Duck" because I don't really need a material possession to give me joy! I find joy in the memories I hold in my brain.
