Does It Spark Joy?
Marie Kondo,/a tidying consultant,/tells you to tidy up your personal space. She insists/that you should keep things/only if they “spark joy.”

It is human nature to collect things:/a lot of colorful pens,/a new pair of pants,/a fashionable T-shirt,/a pair of cool sneakers. We love these things when we buy them. However,/we put them into a drawer or a closet/and forget about them.
Soon our living space/is filled with too many things:/too many pairs of socks in our drawers,/too many shoes in our closet. Books. Books. Books. That can be a source of frustration. Our belongings/have turned out to be a real headache for us. What should we do?
Marie Kondo/(KonMari, for short)/has a solution. From an early age/she liked keeping her room neat and tidy. She was fascinated with magazine articles/about how to organize your space. She not only put her own space in order,/but she also cleaned and tidied up her sister’s room.
