Tidying Up With Marie Kondo
How Marie Kondo's Method Helps Organize Your Home
Marie Kondo's tidying approach encourages decluttering by keeping only items that spark joy. Starting with clothes and progressing to books and papers can create a more peaceful, organized space. It promotes emotional well-being and simplifies daily routines through mindful organization.

I love the concepts that go beyond organization and de-cluttering and at the heart teach you to appreciate the belongings you already have.
Really love her method of organizing where everything is visible. Folding clothes, linens, etc to be upright so at a glance you see everything you have without shifting through drawers.
I have the next 5 days off. I'm gonna watch and do. Thanks!
You will not be disappointed!
Oh dang I’m signing up for this
Just broke my fav candle holder n instead of throwing it I’m gluing it back
Her only rule really is "does this item spark joy?" if so keep. If not, thank the item and donate/trash. So keep the candle holder!!!
She's very gentle in her approach. Some of these people are borderline hoarders and she's able to get through to them. Pretty incredible!
@PlutoRose
hahaha I'm fear of the future 100% I've been downsizing for 2 years and it does feel good but now I think gee I could have used that item and that perpetuates the fear

it all sparks joy to a hoarder tho - geez but those people can be pretty messed up
I got the book last year I am loving the series 😄
Closet organized by type and then color. Crop tops, sleeveless, short sleeves, jackets, long sleeves, dresses, garment bags
Also scored these drawer organizers at ikea the other day.
Still working through my 9 drawer dresser but this is the progress so far...
Love the show! I love a clutter free home. It’s harder to have with my daughter and husband than when I was single, but I try. 😂
Vaping, eating bbq quinoa chips and watching this show right meow.
enjoy!
I spent every day this 5 days off going through all my stuff and sorting. Folding clothes in tiny rectangles like a meditation with Netflix on lol.
Yay! Go you
I've been trying to do a little after work. But this weekend its on like donkey kong
@impulsive
yes please. post all your ideas/pics to help the rest of us stay motivated.
I've binged on the show. I have the book
Is it worth it to buy the book? Or does the show pretty much cover it
I can tell you, you still have way too many clothes
lol and this is just whats hanging in my closet. I also have a 9 drawer dresser full of shirts, sweaters, jeans, etc. Plus whatevers in the hamper
I have already filled up a bag of clothes to donate.
Don't hate on me cc. I gotta look good at work to convince people I know what the hell I'm talking about despite my age...
Plus I have a nordrack app shopping addiction.
Multiple homes and storage units.
That is the true secret to decluttering.
I interpret her mo as less about decluttering and more about taking inventory of the possessions in your life.

i see 8 items that look the same
my dad has 15 tan pants

I wear the same few colors. Blues, greys, tans, pinks, black and white. I'm boring like that.
Just another fad targeted at insecure and indecisive women.
I very much doubt Marie Kondo believes in financial minimalism...
Yeah no one here wants your negativity towards women. Keep it moving 👏
Ha the glue didn’t work on my candle holder but I feel joy for it so decided to use theseparate halves as book ends lol
Can also double as a weapon 😏😏
No more entertaining the sad loser who hates women and has to pay for sex. Work on getting your mail order bride bro.
This thread is about positivity and folding clothes like origami

Brilliant minds think alike 😂😂
So I found some of her folding/organization tips helpful...but I’m really not all there for her “does this item spark joy” approach
Like my toothbrush does not spark joy...but I clearly need it...
Lol and now I’m abusive guys.
Abusive to the clothes cause I’m creasing them.
Triggered by wrinkled clothes.
Thanks dxp, you never disappoint

More towards items of sentiment.
Like with your clothes there’s things you reach for first.
And then there’s the stuff you wear cause nothing else is clean 😂😂
Right know I just organized my bookshelf and
Office space , while watching show
Nice 💪
Share pics if you want.
I’m tackling the last few drawers tonight and then going to sort through jewelry next.
I don't have netflix, what can I do to watch the program?
I’m ordering mine
Very cool 😱🙌🙌

It's funny how she sounds like my mother who likes to keep items at home. Every single items!
She made me grow to be one of those minimalist people due to our never-ending argument.
She's a pisces. She likes to keep things in places.
Whereas me?
I like to present them to people 🙂
i only keep things that i consider to be 'my weapons' a.k.a beneficial for my future moves.
As in, "Things come handy."
my workout equipment gives me no joy!
Lmao 😂😂
That's why you should join zumba, yoga or join the nearest running community 🙂
less equipments, more networking 👐
@PlutoRose
Who is the user? And why mention her?

We were talking bout it in the comments so I tagged her so she could find the thread.

If you have to pick one, which is it?
Please let me know 🙂
The first episode annoyed me with that useless woman wanting to hire a cleaner. She just seemed whiny and useless and not wife material.
Lol
Who doesn't want to get spoiled?

I’m sure her husband’s future mistress won’t mind.

I bet he would mind her.

Bout time.. About time..
^ Says the bitter misandronist...
Being organised and not encouraging clutter is pretty much common sense. Does anyone (male or female) really need to buy a book about it? Do you need a book (or fad) to encourage you to be brutally honest about your hoarding habit, when people in your personal life have probably been telling you the same thing for years? I mean, seriously!
Instead of being a radical hypocrite, maybe you (and others here) should employ a combination of self-awareness and common sense (which, btw, genderless). What Marie Kondo is peddling is nothing new or revolutionary - minimalism has been around for centuries...
But you should've said that to Marie Kondo, not ruminating here under LadyNeptune's umbrella of excitements, okay.
Ha the glue didn’t work on my candle holder but I feel joy for it so decided to use theseparate halves as book ends lol
I'd say the candle holder is the candle herself 🙂

No, sis.. Just no.

Xcept the scales. They must remain clean 😜
Where are the scales at, btw? Who use 'em?
Ok finished clothes officially
Crazy how a simple change in how I’m folding clothes opened up so much space. In addition to what I had in the dresser prior I’ve also added 2 storage bags worth of clothes + a drawer dedicated to linens.
Top 3 drawers are sock, bras and panties. Y’all don’t need to see that
Also I finally took down the tree.
Xmas decorations have never been so neat!

i hated her, they were so incompatible.
He’s def getting a mistress.

You assume there isn't already a mistress

Who doesn't want to get spoiled?
Ppl who value their own efforts in making their life easy.
Sorry, I can’t respect a lazy and entitled princess.
She stays home!! What else is there
Yet she can’t clean?
Lazy bish

She has 2 babies.
Yes she could’ve and does by the end do better.
But lazy? That’s a bit far.
It’s easy to judge when you haven’t lived that life.

Well, what happens if the person is busy outside or she simply am not interested in home work?
It would've been easier to hire a maid so that she could focus on other business' she takes care of from the outside a.k.a jobs.
Unless she manages time very well, of course..

You don’t have to like to clean, to clean.
You have to clean to keep your life in order.
Look at someone’s living space and see where they’re at in their headspace.
I see cleaning as evidence I respect myself and my roommates/spouse/family.
You let your kids live in a messy way, how are they going to value the things they’re given?
It’s deeper than doing the dishes.
This is why ppl reject their possessions and go minimalist.
It’s easy to purge and start over with space.
click to expand
Exactly, as long as there are not many people living in a space (for example, living room) it will be easy to clean.
More people, more mess 😅

...on netflix currently. Amazing series!!
I'm on step one, clothes. Re-organizing feels good.
Gonna cry when I get to books/papers cause that part of my life/home is a chaotic mess.
