Is this the most organised woman in the world?

Marie Kondo's method of tidying up has changed thousands of lives - by Diana Moore

Is this the most organised woman in the world?
Craig Wall

Marie Kondo's method of tidying has changed thousands of lives and taken the world by storm - organising our homes with her Konmari method, outlined first in her book and now in her new Netflicks series "Tidying Up". Like her converts, she has never looked back.

With her book, "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up": The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, author and cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes readers on a journey to changing their life by getting rid of the detritus of life, retaining only items that “spark joy”.

The runaway bestselling book has already sold over 2 million copies worldwide and the resulting "KonMari" method has spawned subsequent books, videos and a series of newsletters and online courses to follow and learn from. There’s even a Konmari app to download and track your tidying progress.

Tidy Up Your Home with Marie Kondo!

Kondo encourages us to consider that items and objects have feelings so, saying goodbye to them and thanking them for their service is a way of letting them go. What remains is tidied using a series of special folding methods where you “use the palms of your hands to put love into the clothes”, stacking them upright in draws. Then follows a process of moving through your house, room-by-room to tidy.

"A kitchen and pantry declutter today, so much fun! Every cupboard and drawer emptied and sorted" ⠀ ⠀ Swipe to see the amazing transformation! Thanks for sharing, @sarahshanahan_lifestyle! #konmari #konmarimethod #sparkjoy #organizetheworld #tidy #declutter #organized

Many say they continue to live the KonMari method and will never return to the accumulation of stuff in their lives. It’s easy to see why it’s infectious - Kondo herself sparks joy with her gentle voice, calmly encouraging as you process your belongings, folding and organising into neat piles, with room to spare, leaving things “tidy once and for all.”

"The beauty about organizing by Marie Kondo's method is that you don't fall back into your old messy habits. 6 months ago I helped my dad organize and joy check his clothes. This morning I took a sneak peak into his closet and low and behold it looks exactly as it did when we finished back in May ✨ Go dad."⠀ ⠀ Thanks for sharing, @worthwhile.me! So glad to hear the method has been working for your father 😊#konmari #konmarimethod #tidy #organize #sparkjoy #organizetheworld #declutter #folding
