In case you haven’t heard, Japanese consultant Marie Kondo has a new show on Netflix and it’s all about her internationally-acclaimed expertise: decluttering.
The show, which came out on Jan. 1, has since inspired people to take the first step in organizing their homes — though we can’t know for sure how many pushed through.
Kondo herself recognizes that decluttering is hard work, and as such, people have taken to Twitter to poke some fun about it!

I used the Marie Kondo method to throw out your file after realizing it did not bring me joy. You were silently thanked.
