When I read the book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” by Marie Kondo I immediately fell in love with the tidying principles and method described in the book. Once I applied the method to my own “things” I understood the life changing effects of this tidying method and it transformed my life for the better. I used to be one of those people who always had tidying tasks on my ‘to do’ list and I loved the idea of tidying up completely once and for all! I love how the KonMari Method™ focuses on what you choose to keep, rather than what or how much you discard.
In March 2017, I traveled to Chicago to attend a KonMari Consultant Program. Since then I have been working with clients and teaching them how to tidy up their own lives and teaching my clients the KonMari Method™. It’s been so rewarding helping others through their own tidying journey and seeing the life-changing effects occur in their lives.
My company, Live Organized is a professional organizing consultancy specializing in the KonMari Method™ by helping clients put their personal and professional lives in order once and for all through this revolutionary technique.
Live Organized provides in-person and virtual tidying lessons to support others who are ready to change their lives through tackling their clutter. This is as a permanent solution to live a clutter free life through a one-time ‘Tidying Festival’. Success comes from following following the KonMari Method™. After the ‘Festival’ is complete, my clients have the tools and training to maintain their new way of life and they are left with feeling more empowered to live their life more intentionally and joyful!
KonMari Method™
Marie Kondo introduced the KonMari Method™ in her best-selling book, “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up.” Her approach is based on a single question: Does this item spark joy? The ability of identifying what sparks joy leads to a space filled only with items that you love.
Marie Kondo personally struggled with tidying up her own clutter and through this struggle she adopted a method that has changed the way people approach their clutter and life.
Following this method of tidying I was able to let go of so many items that didn’t spark joy but had been holding onto for years for all the wrong reasons; such as guilt because of how much I spent on it, it was a gift or simply I never took the time to ask myself if the item ‘sparks joy’. As a Certified KonMari Consultant, I’m loving the opportunity to share this method and see my client’s transformations in their spaces and lives.
The 6 Basic Rules of Tidying:
- Commit Yourself to Tidying Up
- Imagine Your Ideal Lifestyle
- Finish Discarding First
- Tidy by Category, Not by Location
- Follow the Right Oder
- Ask Yourself If It Sparks Joy
