“Life truly begins only after you have put your house in order.” – Marie Kondo
the Magic of Tidying up
Marie Kondo, the founder of the KonMari Method®, created an effective way of tidying your entire home to make it beautiful and functional. You surround yourself with only what speaks to your heart bringing true value and joy. A full Tidying Festival involves intentionally working through your items by category rather than location. The categories include Clothes, Books, Paper, Komono (misc. items in the kitchen, bathroom, etc.), and finally Sentimental.
The 6 Basic Rules of Tidying Up
2. Imagine your ideal lifestyle.
Think about the home you want to live in, what you want to be surrounded with, and how it can support you. Having a clear picture of your ideal lifestyle is key.
4. Tidy by category,
not by location.
Tidying by category allows you to grasp the volume of what you own, assign items to a specific home and avoid the constant cycle of tidying in separate rooms.
6. Ask
yourself if it sparks joy.
Do you know that feeling when you hold something special and feel happy? This is unique to you and that piece. This is the spark you should feel with all of your belongings because it supports you now and in the future.
1. Commit yourself to tidying up.
Committing your time and energy to the process is the first step to making a difference in your space and life.
3. Finish discarding first.
Discarding with gratitude allows you to identify what brings you joy and leaves you with exactly what needs to be stored.
5. Follow the right order.
The order of categories (Clothing, Books, Papers, Komono (misc.), and Sentimental items)is strategic. Moving through the process with this as your guide strengthens your decision-making skills while making your way through the entirety of what you own.
