I'm ready to defend my girl KonMari.
The TL;DR of this article is that KonMari method doesn't work for the author. Author feels defensive about her collection of sentimental items and wants more advice about organizing than KonMari offers.
Maybe this book isn't helpful for some people. That's okay. Doesn't mean you need to do clickbait libel to my girl with "debunk."
If she's defensive about her sentimental items, then does that not mean they clearly spark joy for her and she should keep them lol?
I listened to an interview with Marie Kondo recently, and she herself seems to have renounced the method. When it was popular I definitely found some parts of it interesting, but others were too idiosyncratic to be useful. Ultimately, no one method is a panacea and everyone needs to find what works for them.
It's okay. I don't agree completely with the article, but I want to revive the community, and it was okayish
