“Tidying is just a tool, not the final destination.”

— The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo

About the KonMari Method®.

The KonMari Method®, developed by Marie Kondo, provides a simple framework for tidying up your home completely, but more importantly, it is a tool to create space for the lifestyle you truly wish to live.

There are six basic guidelines for tidying:

  1. Commit yourself to tidying up.

  2. Imagine your ideal lifestyle.

  3. Finish discarding first.

  4. Tidy by category, not by location

  5. Follow the right order

  6. Ask yourself if it sparks joy

Tidying up your home is both a practical and effective way to create lasting positive change.
