So, get rid of half of your stuff?
Konmari is the method of Marie Kondo of “does it spark joy?” fame, so yeah.
Idk if this would work for me. For some reason all of my shit I don't need does also spark joy. Fml
Doesn’t work at all for me, I’m “yeah, a grocery receipt from 7 years ago! I wonder what I bought?”
Take a picture of it and throw it oot. Ez
True, I could hoard useless memorabilia electronically. unfortunately that example only scratches the surface of my vast pointless collection of nostalgia and trinkets from the past.
Thank you for defining it, I didn't want to be the one to ask.
If you extra-want to know, here’s her six step method for organization:

Yeah, that's kind of the idea. I mean, who really needs that many towels?
How many people live there? Do they have pets? Do they often use 'rag' towels to dry things that are not their bodies? Not everyone can afford to ruin 'good' towels.
Do you want a towel or a nicely organized closet?
I picked towels. Don't open my closets you will be disappointed.
Yes, part of the method is to be pragmatic and logical about cleaning and organizing space. She even explicitly tells people to not throw away things that they use frequently but to give them a proper storage space according to their purpose. If it's a rag, it's not a towel anymore, let's find it a home with all the other general purpose rags. Let's keep the towel closet filled with actual towels that we can use. It's all part of the de-cluttering method.
And actually, I'm detailing the picture and there are about as many things (I actually things they're the exact same things) on the right picture than in the left picture. They didn't seem to have thrown away that much stuff. Is just that order creates space, clutter steals space. It's perceptual, but it's very real.
Try camping on a motorbike... you'll realize how much you dont need!
