The KonMari Method®
The KonMari Method® was created by Marie Kondo, the author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. It is about choosing what sparks joy and living the life you want to live.
"Most tidying methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever. The KonMari Method® encourages tidying by category – not by location – beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. Keep only those things that speak to the heart, and discard items that no longer spark joy. Thank them for their service – then let them go.
​
People around the world have been drawn to this philosophy not only due to its effectiveness, but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking."
What to expect when tidying
We will work together to remove the clutter from your home. During every session I will create a positive work environment that is respectful, shame-free, and confidential. You will become more confident and efficient in your decision making and will find new gratitude for items you already have.
I will suggest practical solutions and encourage you to:
-
keep only what you love and need
-
donate and recycle what you can
-
throw away items that cannot be thoughtfully reused
​
The act of tidying is used as a tool to work toward an ideal lifestyle that ‘sparks joy’. You will be creating a future where you can spend more time doing things you love and less time taking care of your home.
This method takes commitment of energy and time, but the results are indeed life changing!
Basic rules of tidying
​
-
Commit yourself to tidying up.
-
Imagine your ideal lifestyle.
-
Finish discarding first.
-
Tidy by category, not by location.
-
Follow the right order.
-
Ask yourself if it sparks joy.
​
​
The KonMari Method® follows these six basic rules of tidying​
​
How will the KonMari Method® benefit you?
1) Clarity and simplicity. A shift in mindset occurs when you let go of things that no longer serve you. New habits are created.
​
2) Sense of calm and order. You will have exactly what ’sparks joy’ and brings you happiness in your home.
​
3) Confident decision making. Clutter is often the result of delayed decision making. You will become more confident in making decisions.
​
4) Relief. You'll be able to find what you need (and quickly!). Everything will have its place.
​
5) Lasting change. It takes commitment, but after you clear the clutter once, you will enjoy long lasting results and not have to endure decluttering over and over again.
​
6) Create a welcoming home for your family and friends!
