Tidying Up with Marie Kondo 1st ep review

The reason why I'm doing only 1st episode because I decided to not watch it further lol

Anyway was in my recs and I generally dislike reality shows where it is about helping people improve their house or wardrobe or whatever, this time it was tidying up.

Anyway, the reason I disliked this and similar shows is because I can't stand how real people/families and their lives are portrayed. It just irks me because it all feels so fake and wrong, it just... idk. does not feel good.

Anyway, here goes my review.

Captivation: 7/10. It captured my attention pretty well, however there were times when it felt a bit stretched out and I lost focus.

Marie Kondo: 10/10. She just seemed like such a sunshine. Her always smiling felt weird at first, but I guess that's her signature.

Humor: 0/10. There were 0 jokes. Or I missed some. idk.

Tasks: 10/10. You know teaching someone how to fold clothes and then leaving them to fold their entire closet? Yeah. I dig that.

Participants: 3/10. They were just a family with problems and I just... did not like them and how the storyline of "our relationship is falling apart because our house is untidy" was pushed onto them. Like yeah a messy house is a problem, but that's definitely not a root cause. But since this is a tidying up show of course. Of course it's their main problem in life.

Goal: 10/10. Really nice goal in mind - to help people who struggle with untidy homes to clean up a bit and give them proper tools to do so.

Overall score: 6.7

If you like these kinds of reality shows give it a go I guess but if you're like me, then don't bother

But when we really delve into the reasons for why we can’t let something go, there are only two: an attachment to the past or a fear for the future.

Being surrounded by things that spark joy makes you happy

Everyone has things that they love, things that they cannot imagine parting with, even though other people shake their heads in disbelief when they see them. I see the things that other people find precious every day, and you would be amazed at the strange and incomprehensible articles that capture people's hearts-- a set of ten finger puppets each with one eye only and every eye different, a broken alarm clock shaped like the Morinaga Noobow character, a driftwood collection that looks more like a heap of scrap wood. But the immediate response to my hesitant, "Does this... um, really spark joy?" is an emphatic "Yes!" There is no arguing with their confident gaze and shining eyes because I, too, have one such item: my Kiccoro T-shirt.

Kiccoro ("Forest Child") was one of two official mascots for Aichi Expo 2005, which promoted love for the earth and renewable, eco-friendly technology. The larger mascot, Morizo, is perhaps better known. Kiccoro is Morizo's sidekick, a little, lime green, roly-poly character, and my T-shirt shows only Kiccoro's face. I wear it around the bouse all the time. It is one thing that I just cannot bring myself to part with, even if people were to ridicule me, saying, "How can you keep this? Aren't you embarrassed? How can you wear that? You should throw it away."

Let me be clear. The clothes I wear at home are generally cute and pretty. I usually wear girly things, such as camisoles with layers of pink frills and flower-print cotton ensembles, around the house. The only exception is my Kiccoro T-shirt. It is quite a curious article, shocking green in color with just Kiccoro's eyes and half-open, full-lipped mouth, and the tag clearly indicates that it's a children's size. As the Expo was held in 2005, I've been wearing it for many years even though I have no sentimental memories from the event itself. Just reading what I've written here makes me feel embarrassed to be hanging on to such a thing, yet whenever I see it, I can't bring myself to throw it away. My heart starts beating faster as soon as I see Kiccoro's lovely round eyes.

The contents of my drawers are organized so that I can see at a glance what's there. This T-shirt sticks out like a sore thumb among all my graceful, feminine clothes, yet that just makes it more endearing. It's so old now, you would think that it would be stretched out of shape or stained, but it's not, so I can't find any excuse in that area for discarding it. The fact that the tag declares it was made in some other country even though it was it a Japanese expo could have ruined its appeal for me, yet I still can't throw it away.

These are the types of things you should boldly hang on to. If you can say without a doubt, "I really like this!" no matter what anyone else says, and if you like yourself for having it, then ignore what other people thing. To tell the truth, I would not want anyone else to see me wearing my Kiccoro T-shirt. But I keep it for the little joys it gives me, the giggle I get when I take it out and look at it all on my own, the contentment I feel when Kiccoro and I are sweating together as we clean and wondering what to tackle next.

I can think of no greater happiness in life than to be surrounded only by the things I love. How about you? All you need to do is to get rid of anything that doesn't touch your heart. There is no simpler way to contentment. What else could this be called but "the magic of tidying"?

and kiccoro himself :]

Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles? Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo's clients have lapsed (and she still has a three-month waiting list). With detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), this international best seller featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home - and the calm, motivated mindset it can inspire.

Satisfying Tidying

There's something meditative about the act of tidying up. There's something satisfying about putting things where they should be, Clearing out space and finding new homes And reducing the mental load of ignoring and navigating the mess.

It is asserting agency and control, Proof that you can change things, That you can push back against entropy and all the things in the world For just a moment. But a moment is enough. There is always something else to tidy.

The best way to choose what to keep and what to throw away is to take each item in one’s hand and ask: "Does this spark joy?" If it does, keep it. If not, dispose of it. This is not only the simplest but also the most accurate yardstick by which to judge.

I was about to say that if The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up had premiered in America during early 2020 it would have had a COMPLETELY different legacy but then I remembered that anti-Asian racism was and still IS off the fucking charts in response to COVID 19 but what I had wanted to say was

That era of bread baking and skill learning would have been the PERFECT backdrop for that show to premiere, and the discussions around COVID were one of the first times we had to collectively confront the priorities of American society. People could have used the guidance on how to eventually deal with the belongings of their lost loved ones, as grim as it sounds.

I just think 2020 was the year people needed to gently hear that their emotional attachment to their stuff was a product of a society that does not promote gratitude for small things but endlessly urges us to consume and buy, but that by cultivating a gratitude-filled approach at home, we can combat that.
