The KonMari Method
Developed by Marie Kondo, the KonMari Method is an approach to tidying that puts an emphasis on surrounding yourself with the items that spark joy and letting go of the items that are no longer serving you.
The process begins by determining your goals and creating a vision for your ideal life. It encourages tidying by category instead of by location to ensure you work through items in the entire category before moving to the next. There is an order to the categories beginning with Clothing and moving to Books, Paper, Komono (miscellaneous items) and ending with Sentimental Items. Once you choose what to let go of in each category you will do so with gratitude and move on to the next category.
Tidying intentionally and letting go with gratitude creates a positive experience with lasting results. The KonMari method helps you to create a more functional day to day life. You will be surrounded by the things you love and free to spend more time doing what you love.
“The space in which we live should be for the person we are becoming, not the person we were in the past”
