Marie Kondo is a ridiculously overpaid genius scammer who teaches millennials and trust fund babies how to operate garbage cans and live like the poor.

That seems a bit extreme.I think some of her approach does make sense though and isn't unique to her either. Of the clothes in my cabinet, less than half I wear each year. I really should just donate the ones I haven't worn in years especially the ones I can't fit anymore.

Same goes for certain documents. Stuff like manual are almost pointless to keep nowadays especially when one can just download the PDF of the manual from the manufacturer website or scan it and toss out the hardcopy. I have paycheck stubs from 2012 that I kept in binders for no particular reasons. Stuff like this I really have no reason to keep anymore.

Now I don't agree with everything she says but I do feel some aspects of her approach does have merit and is also mentioned by other guides on how to purge. I think the key lesson I took from her book isn't about how to purge but getting into the mentality of keeping only what you actually want to keep. Purging does one no good if one relapses after cleaning out.

I have a football jersey from when I played football in middle school. Havent worn it in ages but id be damned if I got rid of it.

Think I have my Varsity V somewhere in storage. Never did buy the overpriced jacket. Something like the Varsity V I would keep as a memento even if my cross country days are long gone past.
