Transform your home into a permanently clear and clutter-free space with the incredible KonMari Method. Japan's expert declutterer and professional cleaner Marie Kondo will help you tidy your rooms once and for all with her inspirational step-by-step method.
The key to successful tidying is to tackle your home in the correct order, to keep only the things you really love and to do it all at once u and quickly. After that for the rest of your life you only need to choose what to keep and what to discard.
The KonMari Method will not just transform your space. Once you have your house in order you will find that your whole life will change. You can feel more confident, you can become more successful, and you can have the energy and motivation to create the life you want. You will also have the courage to move on from the negative aspects of your life: you can recognise and finish a bad relationship; you can stop feeling anxious; you can finally lose weight.
Marie Kondo's method is based on a 'once-cleaned, never-messy-again' approach. If you think that such a thing is impossible then you should definitely read this compelling book.
The Magic of Tidying
I was curious to read this book as in general I don't have a lot of clutter lying around, but like most people the cupboards can get a little overflowing after a while.
The first task Marie recommends is dumping all your clothes on the floor in a pile, then to pick up each one and ask yourself if this item gives you joy? Even though it sounds a bit strange the act of handling each item forces you to make a decision and I found myself getting quite ruthless as I went along. Can't say it will be quite so easy when it comes to tackling my bookshelves!
The author clearly has an obsession with tidying. She does not deny this. Apparently, she's been this way since she was a wee, strange child and goes into great detail at the beginning of book about her childhood hobby of 'tidying'. This makes the start a bit of a slog. I found some of her beliefs a little quirky and I will not be emptying my bag out each night so my stuff can 'breathe' only to put everything back in come morning!! But if you can overlook some of the odd things she says, you'll more than likely find something here to help you out.
I feel happier with less stuff cluttering my life already! - Janelle
