The KonMari Method is a decluttering and organizing technique developed by Marie Kondo, a Japanese tidying expert. This method encourages individuals to keep only those items that "spark joy" and to let go of things that do not contribute positively to their lives. The process involves sorting belongings by category rather than by location, which helps to create a more organized and harmonious living space.
In the KonMari Method, the decluttering process is divided into specific categories: clothing, books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and sentimental items. Each category is tackled in a specific order, allowing individuals to build decision-making skills and emotional resilience. The ultimate goal is to create a home that reflects personal values and brings joy.
