(Be sure to pin this guide so you can refer back to it later!) 10 Tips to Set You up for Konmari Success So, based on my own personal experience and attempts (one failed and one successful!) I've put together a list of tips and things you may want to consider before embarking on your own KonMari journey. (Unless you invented the method yourself.hi Marie!) If something doesn't sit well, then adapt it until it does.
Ultimately, the process should be working for you. I would actually go as far to say that it was lifechanging for our family, even as tidy people! However, I also recognize that it's NOT the only way of simplifying and downsizing your possessions. I believe that it's a great method if you allow yourself to get into the spirit of the process and go all in. There are a lot of other ways to approach decluttering! You'll save yourself a lot of time and effort if you reach this conclusion BEFORE turning your house upside down. Give you the insight you need to decide that it's not the right method for you!

The Netflix series "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo" is a great introduction to her methodology and approach-I highly recommend it! Does the Konmari method really work? This is a very condensed and simplified summary of the method-it is much more nuanced-but the key concept behind it is focussing on what you want to keep, rather than what you need to get rid of. By following the method, you should be left with a home containing only items that you love. In a nutshell, this method advises that instead of decluttering and organizing room by room, you take categories of items in order and decide whether to keep or purge them by holding the item and asking yourself if it "sparks joy." The five categories are: clothing, books, papers, komono (miscellaneous) and sentimental. Her first book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" explains her unique approach to decluttering which she has coined the "Konmari" method.
Marie Kondo is a Japanese decluttering and organization expert. Now that I know for sure that the changes have "stuck," I finally feel ready to start sharing what I've learned from the process! What is the KonMari method of decluttering? It was both more challenging and more effective than I could have ever anticipated. Last summer I decided to tackle our house clutter head on using the KonMari method.
