A new year in Japan means it¡¯s time for ¨­²õ¨­Âá¾±, the annual cleaning of one¡¯s home. And, right on schedule, Netflix has released to give us all some inspiration ¡ª?or make us feel guilty for putting it off.

The eight-episode series follows organizing guru Marie Kondo as she helps American families organize, compartmentalize and, most importantly, throw away piles of stuff in their homes. Kondo meets a variety of households, from expecting parents and a grieving widow to a same-sex couple, and convinces them to toss anything in their homes that doesn¡¯t ¡°spark joy,¡± which she describes as filling their hearts with happiness.
