Like the 'talk to your stuff and thank it for its service'? :pThe book (the magic of tidying up or whatever) is good. Some of the advice goes way too far but it forced me to examine how much junk I was holding onto for no reason.

Exactly. I actually like the idea of this but I found ideas like holding something and asking if you stand to gain something by letting go of it (like more space, less clutter, or allowing someone else to enjoy it if you've not used it enough or at all) to be much more practical. I got rid of bags and bags of stuff after reading her book. It felt extremely liberating.Like the 'talk to your stuff and thank it for its service'? :p

I actually did this. It felt pretty good.Throw your backlog and sealed games out era. You're never going to play or sell them.

What if you moved on to digital only?I was going to say this almost feels like it should be in the gaming side too.
Gotta tidy up those HDD and SD cards!
Yeah that was a bridge too far for me but still a valuable read. I still preferred "goodbye, things". I'll likely watch this Netflix show though.Like the 'talk to your stuff and thank it for its service'? :p
I like Goodbye things but it is way too extreme for the majority of people, I'm afraid. That guy basically threw everything away, including his bed.Yeah that was a bridge too far for me but still a valuable read. I still preferred "goodbye, things". I'll likely watch this Netflix show though.
I agree with all your points, although I think the episodes with the gay couples (5 and 8) are the best ones. The language barrier makes it impossible to have any banter, and since parts of the show are subtitled anyway, I wish it were just in Japan too.I love Marie and her book (and organizing) but I thought the episode I watched was mediocre (the one with the gay guys). She barely featured in it (probably due to the language barrier. The show would have been significantly better if it had been set in Japan), didn't share any useful tips, didn't explain her method, and honestly, shockingly, didn't offer up anything useful to the audience. The normies had to hold down the fort but they were basic as hell and they simply could not carry the episode by themselves.
I probably won't watch any further. What a disappointment.

Looks like it was actually a film. It's not much of an explanation of her philosophy, but it does have beautiful people cleaning.

And if you did, you'd be a perfect candidate for her show.She's so tiny. I feel like I could probably fit 150 of her in the garage.
I am soooo afraid of watching this. I have 2 storage lockers full of videogame and movies collected through the years. Not willing to let that go yet lol.
My entertainment center is quite organized. It's just I have so much stuff in my lockers in boxes and containers.One family in the show has an entertainment center just stuffed to the brim with DVD/Blu Ray cases, and they fit all of that into one fancy little leather-coated binder which, honestly, looked nice enough that I was doubting my many, many years of refusing to get rid of cases for games and movies.
It feels very wrong, but I'm considering just wiping out my huge two rows of movies and games and collating them into one that I can stylize with the cover art.
Also I just found out that Steam has a feature to hide all games that you don't play or aren't planning to, so I just reduced my list of visible titles on all fronts to about 30, and I could probably even reduce it a bit from there. I feel a ton better looking at my library now, even if I know that a few settings tweaks could bring that laundry list of titles back.
