Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, Season 1 Where To Watch: Netflix This series gained some steam on Twitter last week, igniting a debate about whether or not Marie Kondo – a Japanese organizing consultant and author – was right in some of her tidying advice. Is it O.K. do throw out your books, or are they vital instruments in your life’s journey? I don’t really have the answer to that, but I do enjoy the hell out of Kondo’s de-cluttering advice, which I used in my recent move thanks to her books, and can now live out in this charming, informative series....
