The popularity of Marie Kondo, aka Konmari, proves that as living spaces are shrinking, people are looking for clever ways to tidy up. The spring cleaning queen's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing became a bestseller, and on the 1st January 2019, Netflix even released a series on home cleaning called Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. If that doesn't make her an expert on a beautiful life, being listed as one of Time's "100 most influential people" definitely does. Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best memes about Marie Kondo to show you how people really feel about the Konmari method, so scroll down, enjoy and upvote the ones that are sparking joy to you!

As an employee of goodwill I can say with certainty your correct
Don't pull this on out of the garbage when he finally gets tossed out.
I find I can't watch Hoarders any more, it is almost like I can smell it through my tv.
Done that on facebook, all should mute people who don't bring you joy ;)
I´ll watch it. Or film it. Or make a cult out of it. We´re millions.
No one is gonna ever make me get ride of my books! Specially when I go to the second hands and I get books for 1€ MY RUSTY PRECIOUS
She's talking about books you will never reread/don't plan to read though. Isn't it better to give them to someone who will read them? I give away or do book swaps for books I like better.

Everything on my bookshelves I have read, reread, plan to read, hope my kids will read, or they're reference books. We have a bunch of books and I'm always on the look out for more! Right now I tend to buy digital for space and portability, but I do love curling up with a good book!
All my books spark joy and I read and reread them all the time. First thing I look at in thrift stores are books. I haunt used book stores. No, not getting rid os books
I'm wondering about how she would feel about my Kindle. I currently have about 200 books on it, but does it only count as one since it takes up the space of one? Not that I don't also have way more than 30 physical books in my house.
Alcohol. But then you f**k up your liver and get an addiction. So it would probably be better to ignore what I said and talk to family or visit a psychiatrist.

I still don't understand why people are so offended by the idea that maybe they should get rid of stuff they don't need and will never use. I also saw a clip where she told someone who didn't like the kitchen utensils they had, but had no money to replace them to try to learn to appreciate them, because of their usefulness. So it doesn't seem to me that she is saying "it either sparks joy or goes in the trash". Not accumulating useless c**p that will sit forever in storage seems like good advice to me and I'm one of those people that tend to collect lots of useless stuff.
Exactly. I loved that show. It really helped me organise a lot of things. And i dont need to spend hours searching for them.

This is the first time I've ever heard of this program. Lord help me if my wife ever finds out about it too... I'll lose my carefully hoarded collection of neat stuff, and random cables and chargers that I've been collecting for the last twenty years.
The point of her method is that everyone sorts through their own stuff.

i hope they are really joking and not hating this show. this KonMari things is not for everyone and you don't necesarry to do all the method, do what you can do and what you want to do. believe me, its always nice for tidying up and have less thing.
I think it's just an easy target... and let's face it, some do make some great memes!

I joke about the book thing, but in all honesty, I started watching organizing videos about 5 years ago and it was a relief to realize that I was not less of a book lover if I donated books that I was never going to read again. Rationally I knew that, but psychologically I needed to give myself permission to say "I'm finished with this". And not just about books, but also the little knick knacks and things that I have been gifted but had no use for. Now to get my M-I-L to stop bringing me stuff.
Instead of "I'm finished with this" how about "It's lonely. It's time somebody else cared for it".

I found and bought the manga version last year before seeing the regular book version. It's kinda like taking the sneaky back way, because it fleshes out her concepts via interactions with a fictional client. It's somewhat canned, but a gentler approach for those who need it.
I think Marie Kondo is full of it. She may be a perfectly lovely person, but her ideas are nonsense. And although she wants you to throw away books, she wants you to buy hers. BS.
I followed Marie’s advice. I thanked my sister and gave her all her stuff packed up then told her that she does not bring joy and kicked her out. (It didn’t work but worth a try) Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
I like the show but I was really hoping my mom wouldn't watch it and... get any ideas. Long story short we went to Goodwill the other day with like, 3 giant boxes of... everything.
Mari Kondo cribbed the idea from Nagisa Tatsumi's book, The art of Discarding
Your attempt at a burn doesn't even singe, and the fire's dying...
