I’d like to tell you about the life-changing magic of not getting rid of things — and keeping them in the cloud.
Marie Kondo has inspired many of us to unstuff closets and discard piles of belongings banished to basements. But there's a part of her decluttering process that feels out of sync with 21st-century tidying up. In her hit Netflix show, Kondo instructs people to sort through old photos and papers, and throw away the ones that don't "spark joy."
Throw them away? “By keeping less — documents, folders, files, emails, etc. — you create more space in your life,” Kondo told me.
