KonMari suggests that you physically touch each item and then ask yourself if that item evokes happiness. According to the method, if the immediate answer isn't "yes!" then you should toss it. However, this can become quite radical if you find that a lot of your items aren't fully sparking joy.
If your kitchen canisters are hanging by a thread, or if your silverware is old and mismatched from your college days, it may not exactly make you happy, but you can't just toss it without thinking twice, either. It is okay to keep certain items that you may not love until you are able to replace them later down the line. Keeping a wish list is a good way to keep track of your planned future purges.
