The world's most successful tidying expert, who shows us how a tidy home also brings balance to the soul. Time Magazine even named Marie Kondo one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2015. Marie Kondo has written 4 books, all on the subject of organising and creating order.
Here I present you with the golden tidying rules of the KonMarie method:
Commit to cleaning up
Put the date in the agenda and make it a celebration.
Visualise your ideal life
Night categories and not cleaning up after room
1. clothes
2. books
3. papers
4. komono (kitchen, bathroom, garage, cellar i.e. everyday objects)
5. sentimental objects (e.g. photos, gifts)
Does it sparkt joy?
Take each item in your hands and ask yourself this question. It's about deciding what you want to keep and what can move on.
Thank
Every object that no longer makes you happy, thank it for its service. This makes it much easier to let go. Try it out.... you will be surprised!
Dispose of correctly
The way you dispose of items that no longer make you happy should ideally make you happy.
