2. Tidy Up Once and For All IMPLEMENT THE #KONMARI METHOD Tidy up everything in one go and then just maintain Change your mindset towards material objects - only keep things that "spark joy" Organise by category, not by location Toss away all useless memorabilia Keep surfaces clean

3. Optimize Space DON'T CRAMP YOUR HOME Keep surfaces clear Don't display everything you own Show only things that spark joy when you see them and arrange in an aesthetic manner Don't buy new furniture, unless it's essential or to replace something old

4. No Snacking DON'T KEEP SNACKS AT HOME If you don't keep snacks and "junk food" at home, you won't eat it Stock on fresh fruit and veggies Japanese people have three well-rounded nutritious meals a day and don't feel the need to snack in-between
