TIMES UNION: Minimalism, Kondo effect, may spell end of hoarding, alter consumer trends
"The spread of self-storage units should have been the first sign. People had so much "stuff" that they no longer could fit it in their homes.

And shows like Netflix's "Tidying Up" highlighting Kondo's techniques, also helped drive the movement. Shed belongings that no longer spark joy, it advised, even though for most, the need to declutter was more practical than philosophical.
"Everybody has too much stuff. It's an epidemic," said Sheilah Sable, owner of the personal concierge service Call Sheilah!. "It's very hard for people. The majority of my clients are attached to things in a way that makes it really, really hard, no matter what options I offer.

She said after several two- to three-hour sessions of cleaning, the basement was cleared, and Sable helped Melita emotionally detach from decades-old Halloween costumes and a childhood teddy bear.

"I definitely felt like my life just moved smoother, my household life, and going up and down into the basement for things — it was just not a frustration looking for some thing...It just really made things so much more efficient."
"The therapeutic side of what (Sable) did was unexpected," Melita said."
