- hsjqllzlfkf 3y agoSo you're saying she was playing a character for tv? That's unheard of.
- meristohm 3y agoNo, she just changed her approach to clutter. From her books and watching the show, it seems like her brand of decluttering was an expression of her values. Parenthood changed me for the better, and relaxing a bit about clutter seems like a healthy move. It's okay to change.
- bdcravens 3y agoHer best-selling book ("The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up") came out in 2010, her TV show didn't come out until 2019.
- hsjqllzlfkf 3y agoSo you're saying she was playing a character for her book? That's impossible.
- bdcravens 3y agoNope, saying she had a set of priorities that she shared, and then at some point, her priorities changed. It wasn't never about the techniques, but in executing on one's priorities. In relating it back to the Linux distro being compared to Marie Kondo, the point is that having a small tidy distro isn't a value, unless it matches your computing priorities.
- hsjqllzlfkf 3y agoYes but I bet you she's precisely the kind of person that when it matched her priorities, she sold it as a value in itself. Never outsource your critical thinking, I always say.
- lproven 3y agoSo I heard. BTW, I wrote the article and I submitted it, but I didn't write the title. The editors often do not use writers' titles. :-)
