When Scott Sonenshein was touring for his book Stretch, he would often receive questions from the audience asking how his work compared to Marie Kondo and her KonMari Method®. At first, Sonenshein didn't understand why. Whereas Stretch talked about how to be resourceful with your time, money, relationships, and materials, the KonMari Method® is a simple, yet effective tidying technique in which you only keep items that truly spark joy so that you can achieve an environment that really makes you happy.
