Marie Kondo, and the KonMari Method
What does your ideal life look like?
November 2015
My Goals for Using the Konmari Method
Tidy quickly, completely, and all at once! Set a finish date 3 days to no more than 6 months
KonMari Method 1. Select all the things you want to keep 2. Decide where to put them
Selecting things that you will keep
“Spark Joy” Don’t focus on choosing what to discard... Rather, focus on things that make you happy.. the things you want to keep!
Say thanks, then goodbye
Tidy by category not by location
1) Clothes 2) Books 3) Papers 4) Komono Miscellaneous
5) Sentimental items
Discard all paper Only keep documents with a clear purpose. - Pending - Important - Other
Komono Tidy by sub-category ● Bath products ● Cleaning supplies ● Linens and bedding ● Towels ● Kitchen komono ● Stationary ● Tools ● Electric cords ● Medicine ● Skin and haircare…
Storing things that bring you joy
Every item needs a home. Keep things in the same category together.
Fold or hang?
Fold Stand upright Use 90% of the storage space
Boxes are your friend
Folding
Things to note
What about essential items that don’t spark joy?
Only tidy things that belong to you
