Marie Kondo Sparks Joy method

[FreshEgg]

I realise this is old hat by now, but I was reminded of it the other day and wondered if anyone still does this / did it work for you? House is cluttered and I keep hanging onto things ‘just in case’ 😖

I don't do her whole system, but I find the 'does it spark joy' thing go through my head when I'm thinking about whether to chuck something.

But I actually prefer the 'is it useful or beautiful' version, that I think was originally William Morris's thinking. My washing up sponge doesn't spark joy, but it is useful so I do need it.
