7 Ways the Marie Kondo Method Can Help You
1. Tackle clutter by category, not rooms.
With this method you don’t tackle clutter room by room, you tackle it by category. For example you don’t start with bedrooms, you start with books. You don’t move onto bathrooms, you move onto clothing. You instead stay focused by tackling subjects, not being overwhelmed by rooms.
2. You learn to let go of nostalgia.
Marie Kondo loves nostalgia, but she doesn’t want it to rule you. With her method you learn to let go of items that may be cluttering your life due to your nostalgic love for them. You learn to instead hold onto item that give you a spark of joy and serve a greater purpose and function.
3. Respect for belongings is achieved.
One reason you might be accumulating clutter is that you don’t respect your belongings. If you are holding onto items that you aren’t even organizing or taking care of, there is no point. This method teaches you to respect and care for the items you own.
4. Forget hanging item.
If hangers and closets are a nightmare to you, this method teaches the art of FOLDING. You don’t so much hang items as you do fold them and in this case, fit more items in a space and make them easier to view and use. Not good at folding? Don’t worry, Marie will show you how.
5. You will learn to love your space.
You should love the space you dwell in and this method helps you feel the love again. Learn how to appreciate your space more, how to make it more functional, and how to create a place you love being as opposed to feeling overwhelmed in.
6. Understand it is a process.
The Kondo method helps you realize that getting organized is a process and can be a joyous one. When you start to realize that, you will be more inclined to practice getting rid of items and getting more organized.
