Is there a way around that reluctance to part with certain items?
Bring them into one space, pile them up, and then take each item in your hand and think about how it fits into your goal for 2019.ĮD: This process might be overwhelming for some people. MK: Once you have your vision, review what you own and what those items mean to you. If you have a clear goal, then the motivation that comes with starting the KonMari Method changes because you have an idea of where you want to be and what you want to attain at the end of the steps.ĮD: Once you've pinpointed your vision for the new year, how do you get started with organizing? MARIE KONDO: The first thing is to visualize the kind of life you want in the coming year, so you have a clear idea and a vision. Courtesy of NetflixĮLLE DECOR: When it comes to organizing a home in 2019, what's one thing people should consider? Marie Kondo demonstrates her signature vertical folds in Tidying up With Marie Kondo. Keeping this principle in mind, we invited Kondo to stop by the ELLE Decor offices to share her top home organizing tips for 2019. Marie Kondo can inspire even the tidiest of homeowners to reassess their personal items and work towards a more meaningful, clean, and organized life (and mind, for that matter). When one does decide to relinquish an item, Kondo encourages the owner to thank it for its service before passing it along.
Then, she proceeds to tackle each category of clutter, making the client completely remove everything from their respective spaces, separating items that clients will keep (the pieces that spark joy), and those they will part with. She starts by asking clients to “greet the home” with her–Kondo, sitting on the floor, eyes closed in silence, as she cleanses the home with her presence. There’s no shame, no exaggerated shock, no “how on earth do you live like this” attitude from Kondo–she brims with compassion and understanding, an appropriate foreshadow to her unique methods. The petite, stoic, almost ethereally composed woman enters the overstuffed, cluttered homes of families across the country, bringing her radiant positivity and spiritual approach to tackling the problem of messes.
