20 Do's And Don'ts of The KonMari Decluttering Method

The KonMari Method, created and popularized by Marie Kondo in her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, is a decluttering method that emphasizes identifying which items "spark joy" and which do not. This helps you to find which things you really love and to remove anything that doesn't invite joy into your life!

​

πŸ“ Main Points: The KonMari Method is a revolutionary system of decluttering that involves various steps. Some of these steps include:

  1. Commit to tidying up
  2. Visualize your ideal lifestyle
  3. Finish discarding first
  4. Tidy by category, not location

​

πŸ”‘ Key Insights: Visualizing your ideal lifestyle and attacking your clutter like a sprint can help you make rapid progress and avoid taking too long to reach your goals. One of Marie's most surprising tips is her statement that "tidying should be completed once and for all within a single period of time." She emphasizes making decluttering a special event and prepping before decluttering your home...Furthermore, here are some of the KonMari categories:

  • Clothing
  • Books
  • Papers
  • Komono (miscellaneous items)
  • Mementos

​

⚑ Quick Takeaways: The KonMari method breaks down the decluttering process into a simple framework that can easily be followed. Use this framework as a guide for how to handle your clutter if you feel lost!
