Marie Kondo on Netflix

I cannot understand why when it was the book it was Kon-Marie and now its Marie-Kon

[Anonymous]

So much disposable tacky crap from China...

because in Japanese the surname comes first, so this is just a shortening of her first and last name for marketing purposes...

I started the first episode and found that couple to be hella annoying.

I’ve done her process and can speak to the magic. My life has changed dramatically for the better and I am more vibrant than ever an lost a ton of weight. Looking back maybe the book was right! Obviously I made many changes besides tidying to get here but tidying was a start.
One thing that stands out for sure from the show is that on episode one the clients are dressed like crap and as the process goes on they’re actually wearing flattering clothes and have their hair and makeup done. It’s crazy how much old junk I was wearing because it was just there.

And now we know who buys decorative wood boards with random sayings.

I agree, although I think that's the difference between just plain decluttering and things like the show Clean Sweep where they redid a room where they were bringing in a crew to redesign/redecorate. That was more inspiring but probably less realistic. Plus Marie is making them do the whole house - on Clean Sweep I always wondered if a lot of the crap just migrated to other rooms.

It is interesting to see the relative squalor these people live in, even after they get rid of so much. I could stand to get rid of stuff, but I'm way ahead of their "afters"

I like that as opposed to other organising shows they don’t go out and spend a lot of money on furniture and containers - it’s almost all done with re- purposed boxes. She suggests to one family that they buy a dresser and she gives one couple some shoe racks but, really different from make over organisation shows

But why would it not have stayed the same ...... KonMari has the last name first, she's japanese, she's still japanese on the show so your point makes no sense idiot

Okay. I am not sure why you are calling me an idiot. It seems0 unwarranted and definitely mean

Her books were originally published in Japan, in Japanese. So she created the media named KonMari. Much like calling national geographic= Nat Geo

when she started publishing and putting TV shows in Western Nations, she switched to the Western convention of first name first, surname second.


Clear?

And... It is STILL called the KonMari method. That hasn't changed

I agree. I like the fact this is low-key and not radical or dramatic.

I think a lot of these people have no basic home training.

They seem to have missed the boat on cleaning up after themselves, organizing, editing and decorating.

The families are all nice and run the gamut of 'went through some hard stuff and is emotionally hoarding' to 'I'm lazy'.

The obtuse PP is probably one of those people who goes to another country and when s/he hits a language barrier just says the same thing but much louder. He's probably annoyed that Marie doesn't speak English on the show.
