Protip: if you're a minority in America, take advantage of that to sell your shit as "exotic". You could write a book of basic recipes or health advice just pepper in some stories about your grandmother giving you wisdom or some mythological tale about a monkey and a lion from 3000 years ago.

Because you're mildly retarded anon.

My mind—as well as my room—were once so cluttered that I was unable to use my time effectively and I could not do what I love, now thanks to Mari-san I turn on the TV and I see clutter, I browse the internet and I see clutter, I see my hoard of books I'll never read and I see clutter; I see a hot girl in the street, I stare mindlessly at her breasts, and I see clutter; I see my cat and I see clutter; I watch autumn leaves being moved around by rain and wind, and rotting, and I see clutter.

Expressing emotions is a real thing even if the objects are inanimate and can't receive them. If you habitually express positive or contented feelings, you will feel much better and more stable, it gives consistent form and righteousness to your self and life. The way she does it is sort of like putting things in their right places. Like you might straighten a painting despite it not needing to be or pet your cat as you arrive home or ensure your shoes are neatly placed/stored, it's very similar.

>>12035503
Yeah, a lot of that stuff is artificial or part of a kind of trendy pseudo-traditionalism, things people participate in despite not ever really being part of their tradition or normality (for the majority if not all). Sadly, a lot of the way they view 'Japanese' things is like European Orientialists of the past.

Thefuck. I can´decide If that´s cute or unbearably autisitic. If that happened in an anime I would probably cringe at it, so I´m leaning autistic.

>>12032585
Should I feel pathetic that I'm about to use my yellow fever as fuel to lead a more organized lifestyle?

>>12036025
Technically, octopuses is the most correct. Octopus is based off the greek root, meaning it should be octopodes, not octopi. Octopuses is using an English plural method rather than a latin one for a Greek root. I personally prefer octopodes, but people will just think you're autsitic.

>>12036091
Yes.

>>12036111
O-oh...
Well, checked...

>>12036096
In italian grammar there is a rule that foreign and latin words should always appear in their singular form, because articles have a plural form, like il/i for the, so you can use articles to make plurality understood.

I'm an artist.
I like clutter.

>>12033388

Self-orientalising is fascinating and very widespread. See also Russians talking about 'muh mysterious Russian soul'. It's a neat irony of nationalism- everybody has to find 'unique', special cultural things to celebrate (generally in highly predictable and similar ways, and often by copying each other).

>>12036091
No.

Did you know that bukkake was originally a punishment for adultery?

>>12036506
That's interesting. I feel though it's more than just nationalism though. Like maybe a response to imperialism/colonialism. I'm keeping this in mind when I start reading authors from the Meiji Period.

>>12036516

Zizek says that what we understand as 'national identity' is almost always adopted from the Other. He talks specifically about Greeks but those are good examples too.

yes and?, shes a qt

I read this book and very loosely followed its advice.

I do like her thoughts about how buying "organizers" is a sign you have too much shit as you're buying shit to store your shit at that point. Also her thoughts that you should only keep things that "bring you joy" and dispose of things that never do. I did follow her advice on compartmentalizing the process of tidying up a space into smaller tasks like just focusing on clothing to start.

Her advice is mostly aimed at neurotic middle to upper class people with too much stuff for the space they're living in. Which describes /lit/ pretty well and a lot of her advice revolves around getting rid of books you never read and never will read. I got rid of a ton of stuff after reading this and while it didn't make me a clean organized person it did make me a person who was clean and organized more often.

Typical self-help stuff, obvious advice which gives a fleeting sense of motivation, but she comes off as less exploitative than say Tony Robbins and doesn't have the baggage of say Jordan Peterson.

please don't sully the chastity movement with an appeal to nature

A lot of the basic message of the book is good. Using space efficiently, getting rid of shit you're not using if owning doesn't add anything to your life, etc. But Kondo is a strongly neurotic OCD case and it comes out the more you read about her. A lot of her advice is also from an impractically Japanese perspective, like don't buy anything in quantity. That might fly in Japan where everybody gets a tiny bag of groceries every day after work, but in other places it's not so great.

Also, her book talked about not buying boxes or other things to organize your stuff in. Guess what she's selling now? Her own brand of boxes.

>>12051375

>She is tiny — just 4-foot-8. When I interviewed her, not only did her feet not touch the ground when we were sitting, but her knees didn’t even bend over the side of the couch. When she speaks, she remains pleasant-faced and smiling; she moves her hands around, framing the air in front of her, as if she were the director on “Electric Company” or Tom Cruise in “Minority Report.” The only visible possessions in her hotel room for a two-week trip from Tokyo were her husband’s laptop and a small silver suitcase the size of a typical man’s briefcase. She has long bangs that obscure her eyebrows, and that fact — along with the fact that her mouth never changes from a faint smile — contributes to a sense that she is participating in more of a pageant than an interview, which possibly is what it does feel like when big-boned American interviewers whose gargantuan feet do touch the ground come to your hotel room and start jawing at you through an interpreter.

>>12049305
Not at all. Many females are clearly raised to be feminine, Western females are clearly raised to be pseudo-masculine. Like a child's version of masculinity. They and mass media routinely portray femininity as inferior to masculinity, and promote this pseudo-masculinity for both male and female, but especially so for female as the notion that males are subservient and incompetent is promoted also. Hence, most of them are childish, chauvinistic, entitled, misandrist, and incompetent.

There's no reason why one can't acknowledge this and prefer feminine women of which Westerners are not. And no, some clothing fashion or makeup has nothing to do with femininity nor the biological-based attraction to it.

The thanking possessions makes sense as a technique for helping when you have trouble letting something go. You can acknowledge the object has served its usefulness and thus there is no regret in giving it away/getting rid of it.

I read this book and it was life changing desu. I had dysfunctional parents who never taught me how to clean so reading her book was very useful to me and now my stuff is clean

For hoarders to feel better about themselves if they put their shit in containers?
Women trying to establish some sort of bullshit scheme to get rich but fail because they suck?

Don't they have like a really troubling suicide rate? I wonder if organizing plays a part.

>>12034118
Not developing a long term health plan and requiring meme month concepts to be best you should honestly kys

>>12034144

It brings me joy to have slight disarray in my room. It is organised chaos.

Read it and loved it, will do it tomorrow, th...thanks /lit/.

I wonder what kondo would say about virtual clutter. The clutter in my google drive, the clutter in my email. My first reaction to the idea of chucking all my books was, no worries I've got caliber. But then I remembered how most of my ebooks are unread too, and the weighty feelings I get from thinking about them.

Is kondo's idea about physical space only? Or virtual space as well? If the latter, how far does this logic go? And at one point is it your responsibility to just take ownership of your anxiety?

My first thought was of course that she would advocate cleaning my hard drive and cloud too, but seeing how most of what she preaches seems to be connected to her Shinto philosophy and the physicality of being, I'm not so sure...

>>12056759
3000 is the standard for a good outfit, shouldn't socialism promote to eradicate anti consumer practices such as mass produced clothing that self destruct after three uses ?

>>12032585
I get her idea. It's not her invention the Japanese have been promoting it for years.
I think the idea is right I mean look around it's everywhere. In every house I ever visited.

I still can't throw away many toys I don't play anymore. But I am starting to throw away books.
I am also supposed to think twice before buying books (or basically anything). But I still bought several books I will never read this month. Partly this is because I began to throw away stuffs I felt I can start buying books again.

Thanks for the thread. I guess I am still not in the right mindset. Need to work on clearing my chairs.

Lmao now you actually fucking conned somebody to read it /lit/, and he even liked it prob because it was japshit. I like anime and all that shit but cmon now this is the fucking e/lit/ism board and you're talking about some selfhelp for middle aged women? Time to fuck off this gay site.

>>12049075
I let a cute jap chick use my bed a few nights ago, my pillows still smell fragrant from her hair

>>12051091
Imagine being this retarded

This is all such fucking garbage lmao

She's just a nervous bird who found a coping mechanism. Stop falling for this shit cleaning your room doesnt make anything about you better youre literally just doing X task to take your mind off life

>>12048764
That looks relatively normal if that dresser contains the entire wardrobe. Do you wear the same three outfits without change like an autist?

>>12033447
Yes, and?

>>12058178
>youre literally just doing X task to take your mind off life
Isn't that why you do anything?

>>12032668

>>12032774
As well as the Russians. Seems to be a common occurrence among great peoples :^)

>>12058506
And that's a bad thing?

>>12058515

>>12058104
You did it /lit/! You conned someone into reading a book, you jews

>>12056379
She would throw away the four kids less deserving to live though

marie kondo is the gateway drug to jordan peterson.

>>12040419
Jesus Christ you people are bugmen, why would you even keep books in a shelf?

>>12058196
>Do you wear the same three outfits without change like an autist?
Unironically yes, and I’m a female

>>12058196
I wear basically the same outfit every day. I like suits because they make this socially acceptable.

>>12058664
Post tits or lack thereof.

>>12058641
what's jordan peterson the gateway drug to?

>>12058967
THE ETERNAL LOGOS, THE MANIFESTATION OF CHRIST THROUGH WORD, THE TRANSUBSTANTIATION OF THE METAPHYSICAL SUBSTRATE ONTO GOD ITSELF. ITS NO JOKE, MAN

Would kondo-kun throw away a government that doesnt bring her happiness?

>>12059025
-kun is mostly for boys. its either Kondo-chan to denote that shes a girl, or Kondo-sama to show respect to somebody higher up in the hierarchy

>>12051439
>During her lecture, Marie demonstrated how the body feels when it finds tidying joy. Her right arm pointed upward, her left leg bent in a display of glee or flying or something aerial and upright, her body arranged I’m-a-little-teacup-style, and a tiny hand gesture accompanied by a noise that sounded like “kyong.”

(tr. note: kawaii means cute)

>>12059076
I need millions like her so I can make trillions

I want to cum on Kondo-sama's armpits.

>>12059246
lewd, rude, and degenerate.

repent.

>>12059246
>armpits
She has none. They were mere clutter.

>>12059246
yes hello
lobster lady is not for the sexual
ok many thank

>>12059308
>>12059308
Men idealize that which they cannot obtain

>>12059266
I had a dream about sexually tormenting Kondo-chan and subjecting her to filthy humiliations until she awakened to her animalistic bodily desires.

Kondo-chan is so tidy and angelic, but she still has a pussy, a butthole, and armpits like every other girl in the world. Lewd! Pathetic! Humilliating! The human condition of Marie Kondo! She's so cute and clean, but she is still just an human animal! How can Marie Kondo live with herself knowing she has a lewd and pathetic sweaty female body? It must be impossible for Kondo-chan-sama-san to feel any dignity knowing that she has a butthole, and knowing that other people know she has a butthole. It is mindblowing. God is a pervert. We are all doomed.

>>12059710
Based and redpilled

>>12059710
What if all these cleaning routines are just an outlet to vent her sexual frustration and she's internally screaming for someone to release her inner desires?

>>12059797
Keep wishing, anon. You'd sooner see the Valhalla than her naked body.

>>12059814
Do they have nice girls in Valhalla?

>>12059822
Mostly childish-looking sex-working androids and cyborg-armed lesbian wrestlers. You're not invited though.

>>12056151
Not really.
And organisation is probably cathartic. I think most of their suicide comes from the usual social alienation, particularly pertinent in East Asia, and overworking- mainly in school study, Asian schooling mentality is like that of European 18th century, although, maybe a bit more lax. Euros of that time would often have zero free or relaxation time, sometimes 18hrs of study, that kind of regime is hard to do in contemporary life, but it doesn't stop many institutions from trying. Extreme overwork and poor quality of teaching for many subjects (just rote memorisation) makes the youth inclined to suicide.

>>12056759
Cleaning up your data is great too. I ended up deleting literally everything except for the contact info of about a dozen people. It feels great not to have any possessions to worry about at all. Even digital possessions are a burden because you have to worry about backups and the like.

>>12058196
>not having a personal uniform

do you even autism?

She's feminine, good looking, and advocates taking ownership and personal action to get a healthy and happy lifestyle for yourself.

She will almost certainly be an alt-right hero within the month.

>>12059966
>European 18th century
Sorry, I meant 19th century, or at least, right up to early 20th century. Probably the same in 18th century anyway but significantly less education, obviously, wasn't yet a more universal thing.

>>12056517
This is my favorite anime.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

>>12060677
Being sad at that which you cannot change is at first understandable, then mere obsession. In what receptacle you will drain your balls is no relevant matter.

>>12061173
nigger, how is -kun not only for boys? you fucking retard

Shall we make another marikon appreciation thread when this one expires? So our existence will feel twice as miserable.

>>12061453
yes. my dick needs more konmari-sama discussion

>>12061406
I watch anime too, -kun is used for girls sometimes

So this book is actually worth reading? My rooms a fucking mess rn

It's used in the context for a superior to a subordinate.
I remember watching Patlabor. The precinct head was using Nagumo-kun when he addressed her. This was because he was a higher ranking officer and she was a captain.

>>12061710
It might, it might not. People who enjoy seem to become borderline cultist of Kondo-ism.
Those who don't enjoy it proclaim she is a crazy hack, especially with the neo-shintoist mindset that things have feelings and spiritual aspects so need to be taken care of or thanked

>>12037956

-kun can be appropriate for girls if you're an older male. -chan is creepy as fuck unless you're friends or family. -sama is overly formal. -san would be usual in this context.

What kind of ape is proud to inflict mediocre books upon themselves.

I will shelve maybe the best 2% of what I read. I won't purchase anything that does not deserve a second reading, as a baseline criteria.
