Marie Kondo: The Magic of Tidying Up That Will Change Your Life
This home decluttering manual by Japanese decluttering expert Marie Kondo is a #1 New York Times bestseller and guides readers step-by-step through the revolutionary KonMari method for reducing living space, sorting, and putting things away. Despite your best efforts to declutter your home, do you feel like your papers are always falling out of place and your clothes are always in piles that look like tangled spaghetti? Japanese decluttering expert Marie Kondo has taken the act of tidying to a whole new level, with the promise that once you get simplicity and order in your home the right way, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods are based on a room-by-room or bit-by-bit decluttering system, which condemns you to forever trying to get rid of the clutter. The KonMari method, with its revolutionary system of organizing by categories, gives lasting results. In fact, none of Marie Kondo's clients have gone back to their old habits (and her classes are still three months away).With a comprehensive guide to determining "if an item in your home sparks joy," this global bestseller from the Tokyo champion of a different lifestyle will help you declutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home—as well as the calm, focused thoughts this change can inspire.
