Let Tidying Up Spark Joy By Adopting The KonMari Method To Organise & Declutter
Set Your Mind To It
Committing to clean up is the first step of the battle. Once you set a time and commit, you can apply this to anything ever in life and spark some joy.
Realise The Impact
Analyse the mess and think about the difference it is going to make in your life. If you're a hoarder, it will help you battle the problem or if there's not enough space for something you've been wanting for the longest time, now is the time to make space.
How To Get Rid Of The Items
This is crucial for the KonMari Method. First, get rid of unwanted items. Start with items that you've not used in a year, to begin with. But before discarding, thank each item for serving its purpose.
Category, Not Location
Another main focus of this KonMari method is to organise items by their category, not location. For instance, it's not about cleaning the bedroom closet, it's about cleaning all the clothing items, no matter what room.

Papers
