The popularity of Marie Kondo, aka Konmari, proves that as living spaces are shrinking, people are looking for clever ways to tidy up. The spring cleaning queen's book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing became a bestseller, and on the 1st January 2019, Netflix even released a series on home cleaning called Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. If that doesn't make her an expert on a beautiful life, being listed as one of Time's "100 most influential people" definitely does. Bored Panda has compiled a list of some of the best memes about Marie Kondo to show you how people really feel about the Konmari method, so scroll down, enjoy and upvote the ones that are sparking joy to you!

Each pair of leggings has a slightly different personality, to be enjoyed in slightly different situations.

OMG, this is me! Except I have about 30 pairs. I will not part with ANY until skin starts showing through, and by then I will have more!

Alcohol. But then you f**k up your liver and get an addiction. So it would probably be better to ignore what I said and talk to family or visit a psychiatrist.

I still don't understand why people are so offended by the idea that maybe they should get rid of stuff they don't need and will never use. I also saw a clip where she told someone who didn't like the kitchen utensils they had, but had no money to replace them to try to learn to appreciate them, because of their usefulness. So it doesn't seem to me that she is saying "it either sparks joy or goes in the trash". Not accumulating useless c**p that will sit forever in storage seems like good advice to me and I'm one of those people that tend to collect lots of useless stuff.

This is the first time I've ever heard of this program. Lord help me if my wife ever finds out about it too... I'll lose my carefully hoarded collection of neat stuff, and random cables and chargers that I've been collecting for the last twenty years.

The point of her method is that everyone sorts through their own stuff.

I joke about the book thing, but in all honesty, I started watching organizing videos about 5 years ago and it was a relief to realize that I was not less of a book lover if I donated books that I was never going to read again. Rationally I knew that, but psychologically I needed to give myself permission to say "I'm finished with this". And not just about books, but also the little knick knacks and things that I have been gifted but had no use for. Now to get my M-I-L to stop bringing me stuff.

Instead of "I'm finished with this" how about "It's lonely. It's time somebody else cared for it".

I found and bought the manga version last year before seeing the regular book version. It's kinda like taking the sneaky back way, because it fleshes out her concepts via interactions with a fictional client. It's somewhat canned, but a gentler approach for those who need it.

I think Marie Kondo is full of it. She may be a perfectly lovely person, but her ideas are nonsense. And although she wants you to throw away books, she wants you to buy hers. BS.

I followed Marie’s advice. I thanked my sister and gave her all her stuff packed up then told her that she does not bring joy and kicked her out. (It didn’t work but worth a try) Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)

I like the show but I was really hoping my mom wouldn't watch it and... get any ideas. Long story short we went to Goodwill the other day with like, 3 giant boxes of... everything.
