Its something we all know but the process to do it is a learning

This would seem very simple thing, a light hearted thing but the process is interesting. Its like the book secret we all know Law of attraction but the way we implement it differs its always good to learn things. I am thinking to implement Mary Kondo way to do it.

If you looking for something very light to watch, I would recommend it.

Has its super cringy moments but its all right.

On the upside you do learn how to get organised !

Family friendly watch, Marie Kondo is so sweet and this show is very charming. Very heartwarming how they highlight the emotional changes that tidying up can bring to the workplace. I'm very inspired to do some tidying up of me own now.

Less emotional exploitation but still cringy

Why Netflix?! Why do you keep insisting on bleeding money (or throwing money) on shows or people that are just not worth the money?

Not much changed with Kondo since her last show. She is still very unrelatable and aloof in a way. Atleast we did not have to see as much of emotional explotation as in her first show, with overwhelmed crying clients the opposite of spaking any joy. But if you wanna learn about how to tidy up like Kondo, just watch some old videos on youtube where you can find how to fold your clothes like Kondo, and that will be all enough. No need for these shows Netflix is putting up.

On this show I was struck by how cringy Marie Kondo is when she is imposing her religion of shinto. In every episode the clients sits down to thank inanimated objects, their house, clothes etc. Kondo even imposes this on church people, in church! Even if the church people were ok with it, it just shows how Kondo is so non-intune with people around her. I would even call it disrespectful.

Heal Yourself, Heal the Space Through Joy and Gratitude!

I don't think I could ever get tired of watching Marie Kondo work and share her views and philosophies. I've been to Japan. And, frankly, I haven't found sweeter people anywhere else. Watching Marie reminds me of my time in Japan. It's like going to a country with a lot of "Maries!"

Two key elements in Marie Kondo's process, that were shared in the previous series, carries over into this one: joy and gratitude. It's been stated that gratitude is the fastest form of healing. Marie's process is not only practical, it's also spiritual because it's a way of life that carries over into all other areas.

Most people are about holding onto things. It can be a scary process to learn how to let go. But once you develop the habit, and more so, do it with gratitude, it becomes easier. Especially once you realize that you aren't "losing" anything. But in fact, you are gaining as you thank the item for its service to you.

In this series, only three episodes (wish there had been more!), Marie helps her clients learn how to balance home life and work life. And through this process, she helps these folks bring healing to themselves as well as to the space in which they live and work.

All three episodes are touching and heartfelt in their own way. Sometimes, we have no idea how to deal with things until someone shows us how. We don't necessarily have to adopt the method, but if it works? Why not?

Since I've adopted Marie's method, taking care of my clothes and other items is no longer a job. It's actually fun. I enjoy folding my clothes and sorting items. This series also reminds me that I have to do a better job of showing gratitude to those items that I've chosen to discard.

Marie Kondo is a true treasure and blessing. I don't think I could ever get tired of watching and listening to her with her smile and vibrant personality. She's a true example of how to be. She brings much needed joy, gratitude, and healing to everyone she meets. And, for me, that is why she is a treasure and a blessing.

I sincerely hope she will do another series.

Absolutely loved it!

I'm a fan of Marie Kondo, I've read her book and I've watched the first series when it came out. Now I watched episode 2 of this series to get a refresher about how to spring clean and deal with my own overwhelmed life as a parent and working person - btw, what an adorable family that was!! Both office space and the coffee shop were incredible after.

I always appreciated how Marie Kondo values the space and the objects people own. In a consumerist world, it's a change in point of view to be able to appreciate and take care of what you own so that it lasts while serving you well and making you happy. I really like that and I see the value for both people and the environment.
