Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

This show idea is not a new one. The difference with Tidying Up totally lies in Marie Kondo. There is something quite calming and soothing in watching and listening to this lovely little woman. She is so sweetly motivating and so thoughtful of her clients and their particular needs. There is certainly a spiritual element in her approach. She never judges the clients and their mess, even if some of them are quite huge. I like how her show has a variety of clients in different situations as to appeal to everyone. Each show tends to emphasize something unique that her approach addresses. If you are looking to simplify your life, watching this series may give you some helpful hints in getting started.

This is a solid show. Disregard those whiny imbeciles at the bottom complaining about "language barrier". That's your big complaint? Reading text? Give me a break! This show is a good incentive to clean up for people who are dealing with clutter and organizing issues. I understand reality shows get a bad rep but this inspires people to change their lives for the better. All for it!

The Japanese are a spiritual people who anthropomorphize inaminate things. They will thank the warmth of sunlight, turn a tea bowl so that the "good" side faces the other person, and they are very attuned to physical and atmospheric elements. So when Marie suggests thanking a piece of clothing that one is discarding, it makes perfect sense.

She is adorable. And as for the language barrier-- English is one of the most difficult languages for an adult to learn. Kids who are taught English in school are really lucky. But English, unlike most other languages, doesn't follow standard and consistent rules. It's very difficult to learn compared to other languages. Japanese might be one of the easiest languages to learn. So don't get down on Kondo for not being fluent in our language.

Very cute presentation of what you can read in Marie Kondo's books. Her method KonMari is explained well on examples. The journey that the participants undertake changes not only their homes, but also themselves. It is lovely show and Marie is just a gem!

Marie is a little sprite of joyfulness - her positivity is fun to watch. The process is amazing and the results are undeniable
