The new season picked right back up where the finale left off, but because of a time jump viewers didn't really get to see how Jo worked through the emotional trauma before tidying up her storyline with a neat little bow and another proposal from Alex.

Wordplay MONDAY PUZZLE — In Marie Kondo's best-selling book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up," one of the central tenets of her decluttering method is that if an item does not spark joy immediately upon picking it up, the owner should get rid of it.

Her first book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying up," published in the U.S. in 2014, made her a superstar — maybe the world's first decluttering celebrity — and a publishing behemoth; it is still a best-seller, with over 8.5 million copies sold in over 40 languages.

If you're looking to start de-cluttering, there's a whole movement to support you, inspired by Marie Kondo's "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up." The process starts with a tidying "marathon," in which you keep only those items that "spark joy" — and get rid of everything else.

All of it was conveyed in what soon became one of Kojima's trademarks: cutscenes and dialogue exchanges of considerable length, where you surely wouldn't be alone in setting the controller down to watch, eat a snack, do some tidying up around the house, and/or clip your toenails.

Kondo's 8-episode series has inspired fans to hilariously document their obsession on social media, binge-clean their homes, and purchase her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, in record numbers, putting it back on the bestseller list, five years after its initial U.S. release in 2014.

This is the crux of the KonMari — that soon-to-be-trademarked nickname — and it is detailed in "The Life-Changing Magic" and her more recent book, "Spark Joy," which, as far as I can tell, is a more specific "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" but with folding diagrams.

The super popular robot vacuum by iRobot — the Roomba 960 — is on sale for just $449.99, or $249.01 off its list price on Amazon (and you should probably get on that.) Tidying up around the home is tedious enough, but taking on this terrible task on a daily basis will drive anyone bonkers.

If the Nintendo Labo Okatazuke (which translates to "tidying up") looks suspiciously like a pop-up cardboard box with a lid that's sparsely decorated with Labo colors and graphics, it's probably because it is nothing more than a pop-up cardboard box with a lid that's sparsely decorated with Labo colors and graphics.

For the last year, I haven't been able to walk into a bookstore without seeing the blue-fading-to-sand cover of Marie Kondo's best-selling book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up."

Each episode of Tidying Up finds Kondo stepping into a domestic situation awash with emotional tensions ranging from the minor (empty nesters clearing out several generations of stuff) to the major (a widow whose husband of decades died nine months ago, and who hasn't been able to bring herself to go through his belongings yet).

We got the "Crazy Rich Asians" star at LAX Thursday ... she told us she's jumped on board the organization train, made popular by the Japanese author's new hit Netflix show, "Tidying Up."

It means isolating: Persephone in her room with the door closed, listening to Stereolab, packing for her yearly trip to the Underworld with a copy of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. The resulting surety in what you need—what you know—means that, a lot of the time, nobody can tell you shit.

Judging from the intensity of the entrepreneurship going on in the field of laundry, most people would rather watch a video of Marie Kondo, author of the book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up," folding a T-shirt so well it stands on its own than to actually do it with their own hands.

After handling the immediate business associated with the medical news — informing family, friends, work; tidying up some finances; putting out stacks of unread New York Times Book Reviews to recycle; and throwing a large "Limited Edition" holiday party, complete with butlers, I had some time to sit at my kitchen table and draw up the bucket list.

But what surprises us most about the article — aside from the fact that the most well-regarded paper in the world published it, thereby arguably handing a microphone to a fringe thinker with discriminatory ideas about gender and sexual orientation — is that apparently, Peterson is also a big believer in the life-changing magic of tidying up.

Having a blast indulging in the stereotypical springtime "to do list" (dragging her husband, played by writer Brad Morris, along with her), then turns to that closet clean-out, inspired (aren't we all?) the KonMari cleaning method made famous by Marie Kondo's book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing.

But Tidying Up is also an aspirational show based around an argument that I don't think it's actually capable of making: the idea that if you could just get organized enough — empty out that junk drawer and clear out that garage — so many larger, more persistent personal problems could be taken care of in the process.

While a show's budget doesn't guarantee great results—Baz Luhrmann's The Getdown allegedly cost a record-breaking $120 million, but was canceled after one season—it might explain the increase in shows that feel more haphazard and made-for-TV, like the campy Chilling Adventures of Sabrina or reality-style shows like Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.

What Marie Kondo can teach us about moneyKey to Kondo's tidying-up method is a sense of gratitude — the idea that we should feel grateful for, rather than burdened by, the things we have — which makes getting organized feel less like pushing Sisyphus's boulder up an unending hill and more like a pleasant, meditative stroll through the park.

Sure, my closet is a little fuller than it needs to be, I have more USB cables than any sane person will ever need, and I took a hard look at my desk when at least two coworkers "recommended" I read The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up.

But Margie steels herself, carefully gathers up her husband's things and begins to sort through them, until the camera finally, decorously, cuts away, leaving her to own authentic grief and breaking the relentless conventions of reality TV.

When one of the Tidying Up episodes starts with parents telling their child that they're not going to take him to Toys 'R' Us because they're all going to learn about "being happy with how much [they] already have," that's their projection — Kondo, who of course peddles a few products of her own, does not actually go so far as to advise against consumerist impulses.

Its success begat an empire of orderliness that includes a popular Netflix show, "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo," a children's book and graphic novel, a consulting firm with more than 400 "certified" KonMari advisers, and, somewhat counter-intuitively, an e-commerce store, where converted neat freaks who have emptied their cluttered homes can fill them up again with robes, slippers, candles and other items curated by Ms. Kondo.

Kondo, a diminutive 34-year-old Japanese woman who likes to wear white when she's on the job ("It is part of my brand," she explained to the New Yorker), most recently parlayed her charming approach into an eight-part Netflix reality series, Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, in which she (with a translator in tow) visits various middle-class households in the Los Angeles area to save families from their own clutter.

Sure, Tidying Up isn't exactly a thrill ride, but especially because I was raised by a mother who despises KonMari—instead of "dispose of it if it doesn't bring you joy," try "I am hanging on to this object for the duration of my life because I or any of my children could conceivably have a use for it before the Earth explodes"—the show was a nice introspective watch that motivated me to sort through a stack of old papers and organize my closet.

The clearest modern manifestation of this is the enduring popularity of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, which came out in 1989 and remains a top 10 best-seller on Amazon's nonfiction list — No. 10 on April 5, above Marie Kondo's The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Ingrained in our discussions of executives rising early and great writers taking daily walks is an assumption that we are all "creatures of habit," that our habits define who we are and what we achieve.
