It's the scandal that's had nerds offended all throughout the Internet, so we have to ask: how do you feel about getting rid of some of your books?

DOES NOT SPARK JOY
I’ll get rid of books that don’t do anything for me anymore.
I’ll get rid of books that I know I’ll never reread.
Send it away, who cares? It’s just stuff!
I get a new boo for every book I throw out, right? That’s how this works?

Alphabetically
By topic/category
By color
By when I got them in my life, so… autobiographically?

Here's the most tricky part of tidying up. How do you feel about potentially discarding sentimental items?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

It makes me too sad to think about it.
It’s 90% of what I hoard so it’s what I expected, really.
Eh, who cares. It’s just stuff.
It’s gonna feel so good LET ME AT IT!

Marie Kondo loves a mess, so know that no one's judging you here. But, you still have to tell us. How are you on the scale from one to hoarder?

Ready? Scroll down to answer

I’m one pile of mail away from my friends and relatives staging a hoarders intervention.
I clutter on different surfaces, but I’m not a hoarder.
Not consciously. I more so just forget that I have things, so I buy more of the same thing, then… well, you know.
I’m not messy, I just have a lot of stuff tucked away.
I’m already pretty good so this tidying up is going to be more about organization for me.

Ready? Scroll down to answer

Sure! Having my clothes stand up is so cute and you can see everything!
Some things I’ll fold like that, but not others. Who folds their underwear anyway?
Just organizing my clothes feels tidy enough.
HAHAHA absolutely not! I like my method of folding the way it is.
