I tried her folding method and it does save room. However, I never makes the clothes stand up when they are stored on shelves because they always fall over when I pull a shirt or pant out. I prefer to stack. Now if I can only get into the habit of actually putting my clothes away as so as I pull them out of the laundry rather than placing them on my dresser and let them sit there for a few days before I get tired of seeing them there and then actually put them away.

I think she caused a wave of massive waste and reconsumption in America. She started selling 200 dollar tchotchkes more recently too. It's only a lifestyle change for a portion of the people that get into the craze. The rest are going right back to Target to get minimal aesthetic junk.
Granted, she's not considered a minimalist but to the average joe/jane that realizes how much better they have it than some barefoot kid in a poor country it's a slap in the face.

I see many problems with this method. The Minimal Mom's method is much more practical. You don't declutter all at once, but in small doses, layer by layer. She also recommends deciding on what is needed, then choosing, narrowing down, keeping that and donating the rest (or quarantining those things that you're not sure about. It's not nearly as daunting as holding up ever single item and asking Does it spark joy? What does that even mean?

I know this disagrees with standard Japanese dictionaries, but I would say that tokimeku also has the meaning of sparkle, in addition to flutter or palpitate. The normal Japanese translation of sparkle is kagayaku, but I think that is close to shine than sparkle. In certain instances, I think tokimeku can mean sparkle in Japanese. Of course, translation between languages is not a 1: 1 correspondence.

Just goes to show how unfair the world is. in the developed world we are drowning in possessions. the result of a materialist lifestyle. I must have. I want. I gotta buy. Other parts of the world have just subsistence lifestyles. Whether its Feng Shui, Konmari. or whatever. if we werent so bloody greedy we wouldnt need to declutter in the first place.

People are usually all default in a particular way. It's funny how when we actively try to find the best way to live, even if we are different from each other, usually arrive at the same answer. Asking yourself does this spark joy? is just like minimalism. Keeping the things that have value to you close and discarding the rest.

What I find most interesting about her & her method is how much she developed the method based off of living in Japan and working with her Japanese clients, but how much it almost seems like we need it even more here in the US. Some things don't change no matter your culture.

I realised I barely wear half of my clothes, so in the last few years I ended up owning less and less clothes and shoes. Now is very easy for me to organise and to know exactly what I have. You really don't need much, just little bit of everything.

Ok, so I can't be the only one who thought I was doing some ancient Japanese cleaning ritual when I started Konmari, right?
I felt kinda dooped when it hit me it's really just her name.

Our English teacher gave us an article to summarize about Marie Kondo and she recommended us to watch a video about her at home, which is why I'm here. So, thank you for this video! :)

Me, sitting in my black hole of a room, watching this video, wondering if the toothbrush I got from the dentist 4 years ago sparks joy

I've noticed that I feel better when my house is neat and clean. Maybe the positive energies
is a direct result of decluttering too.

I've tried the method and it's helped me a lot. But what if there are some possessions that one owns not out of joy, but out of necessity?

After I finally empty all these storage containers I have in my garage, I can finally turn them into garden boxes

The point that if the item sparks joy, is my favourite. Before I thought if I can ever use or need this item.
