The KonMari Method®
“The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming now, not for the person we were in the past.”
— Marie Kondo, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
How The KonMari Method® is different.
Most traditional home organizing methods advocate tidying on a room-by-room approach as well as on a little-at-a-time-basis. This causes us to feel as if we are in a constant cycle of never-ending home organization projects.
The KonMari Method® takes tidying to an entirely new level with a few foundational differences:
Begin with a vision: for your home and your life.
Tidy by category, not by location.
Declutter your belongings before deciding how + where to store them.
Tidy your entire home once in a relatively short period of time - and you will never need to do it again.
All belongings in your home can be grouped into the following five categories - and are tidied in this order:
Clothing
Books
Papers
Komono (miscellaneous items)
Sentimental Items
Keep only those items that speak to the heart. What no longer brings joy or serves a purpose can be let go with gratitude.
This philosophy has gained international attention + popularity - not simply for its effectiveness, but also due to its intentional focus on gratitude, mindfulness, and cultivating a life that sparks joy.
Try Life Decluttered
Reclaim your time - you were made for more. It’s time to tidy up once and for all.
“The question of what you want to own is really the question of how you want to live.”
