I’ve heard people mention that in the show it comes across as if things are being treated mindlessly. The truth is that they were supported and guided along the way by two of my colleagues (listen to an interview with them HERE). Now you might have gotten the impression that the bulk of the tidying work was done by the families alone. What wasn’t shown on the show was that two KonMari Certified Consultants were supporting the people on the show tidy in-between Marie’s visits. It was quite profound to watch and just reinforces that tidying up can indeed be life-changing magic! Behind-The-Scenes There were many occasions where the viewer could see and hear the people talk about how going through the KonMari process changed a thing or two in their life. Kudos to the production team! The variety of life circumstances and people was a great plus to the show. I really loved that the series showed such great diversity regarding the casted families and their situation. They had Marie Kondo and two KonMari Certified Consultants behind the scenes guiding and helping them every step along the way. Be assured though that the families on the show followed the correct category order. But again, it’s a TV show and you can’t show everything that has been going on over weeks or months in 45 minutes. I would have wished that categories would have been represented more equally. Not all of the categories were equally represented in the show (e.g., you didn’t see people work on their books or papers if I recall correctly). So they were “forced” to tidy up in a certain amount of time and I’m assuming that some probably took some time off work to finish timely. The show participants were on a TV production schedule. work during the week) and are unable to do a tidying marathon. Keep in mind though that real-life tidying can stretch over many more weeks or months even if you have other commitments (eg. I really liked that this was included as it shows that tidying can take time. Viewers got a sense of how long a KonMari tidying festival can actually take due to the frequent display of a day counter symbol on the top right corner of the screen. But it does a great job of getting across key aspects. Of course, the show doesn’t provide a guide for how to “konmari” your home – it’s a highly edited TV production after all. I think that overall the show did a fantastic job of introducing the KonMari Method™️ and philosophy to a worldwide audience. If yes, how did you like it? Did it inspire you to start tidying? If not, SPOILER ALERT – as I will be talking about my takeaways of the show & clear up some confusion in the following post. Have you watched or started watching the show yet? This year couldn’t have started better with the release of Netflix’ “Tidying Up With Marie Kondo”.
