This book was ok, but mostly weird.

I am a messy person, so when I saw this at the library I picked it up, thinking there might be some life-changing strategy. I'd heard of KonMari before, albeit through Ali Wong's comedy (and it is oddly similar to my twitter handle).

Broadly speaking, the KonMari method is to keep only those things that inspire feelings of joy and discard the rest. There's a weird bit of personification in thanking things before discarding, but I recognize that acknowledging that things had a use before letting them go is useful (though I won't be sprinkling purification salt on things from exes or stuffed animals before donating/discarding). Given librarian tendencies, I shudder at the idea of discarding books I haven't read or felt meh about and keeping only favorites, but that's not for everyone I suppose.

Folding suggestions are great, take the feng-shui inspired bits with a grain of (purified) salt, and if you find this useful, great! I just found it kind of odd at times.
