The KonMari Method will change your entire life

Happy New Year! Are you ready to declutter your home and life, once and for all? In the past, I’d start a new decluttering spree each January and lo and behold, the next year need to tackle it again. Why? Because I didn’t declutter enough the year before to entirely change our routine and outlook on ‘stuff’. Sure, I cleaned up a bit and donated a lot, but I didn’t do ENOUGH.

That’s where the book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up comes into play. This method of looking at clutter will change your home and life, your view of ‘things’, allow you to simplify and breathe, and even save you lots of money and stress.

What is the KonMari Method?

It’s a step-by-step decluttering and organizing method created by Marie Kondo that aims to reduce the stuff cluttering your home (and by extension, mind) by 50% or more. Once your home is decluttered, you’ll LOVE how great all that space and room feels so much that it becomes difficult to add in more things. Therefore, your life becomes simpler because you’re not wrangling ‘stuff’. It focuses on only keeping items that bring you joy— joy because you use them, or joy because you need them.

Having a home with less clutter brings peace. And can’t we all use a home that feels like a haven instead of a storage shed?

How Does the KonMari Method Change Your Life?

One life-changing aspect I didn’t anticipate is how much time and money we’re saving! Now I only buy things I need and/or love. I’ve also made a lot of money by selling unwanted clothing, toys, and furniture. Items no longer get lost because it’s so much easier to find what we already have, so now that we’ve decluttered it saves us time. It also gives us space to move and breathe in our home. This space allows our brains to feel clear instead of stressed. We’re feeling the positive impact daily.
