The KonMari Method® is a popular worldwide organizing method, developed by Marie Kondo, author of the international bestseller “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up”, a number of other books, and star of 2 Netflix series. The KonMari Method® starts by imagining your ideal lifestyle and is then followed by tidying by category, with a focus on what to keep. Gratitude is practiced with thanks to the items that had supported you in your life before they are discarded. The final step includes giving everything a home.
