🌱 KonMari
Seems silly but it kinda works:
- Commit ourself to tidying up all at once.
- Imagine our Ideal lifestyle to prevent relapse.
- Hold an item with both hands and ask yourself: “Does this spark joy?”
- Finish discarding before moving on. Neat does not equal decluttered.
- Organize by category, no by room. Example: Get all of your clothes in one place.
- Go in order: clothes, books, papers, miscellaneous (komono) sentimental.
Recycle paper and packaging. Donate books and unused items. Discard the rest
Storage
- Fold your clothes like origami, don’t hang.
- Stand folded clothes upright in drawers, rather than laying them flat.
- Divide storage into square compartments using things like shoe boxes.
- Designate a “home” for everything you keep, and return it after use.
