What is the KonMari Method?

The KonMari MethodTM was founded by Marie Kondo and has since become a worldwide practice. As a current Certified KonMari Consultant, I’ve experienced a life-changing transformation from the method.

I was first introduced to it in the spring of 2016 and now after working with clients and family, I am passionate about helping people find confidence to live intentionally so we all create meaningful contributions to the world.

For my practices, I coach busy professionals like myself through the process with a central theme around the KonMari MethodTM. Here is a brief overview of the philosophy.

Philosophy

Contribute to a joy-sparking world through tidying

Mission

To organize the world – to develop a society where more people have tidied their homes and lead lives that spark joy every day 

Principles

  1. Commit yourself to tidying up
  2. Imagine your ideal life
  3. Finish letting go first
  4. Tidy by category, not by location
  5. Follow the right order
  6. Ask yourself if it sparks joy!

Simplify your Home by Tidying by Category not by Location:

  1. Clothing
  2. Books
  3. Paper
  4. Komono (miscellaneous)
  5. Sentimental Items

Ask yourself if the item sparks joy. If not, acknowledge it and thank it for its service before letting go.

Although you may believe the KonMari MethodTM is only about simplifying your home, it is much more than that. This is a life-changing philosophy you’ll apply to your entire life. I’ll talk about this in more detail in future blog posts. Stay informed by Taking the Pledge & signing up for our newsletter to stay up-to-date.
