The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying
A Simple Effective Way to Banish Clutter Forever
Editorial Review
Tidying up is not easy, and it doesn’t always last. This is why Marie Kondo, the organizing consultant and best-seller author, created the KonMari method—a simple way to have a tidy home and to prevent the clutter. “What makes the KonMari method different from other cleaning techniques?” you ask. First of all, the KonMari method is not a technique, but a series of actions in which each object is placed where it should be. More than that, the KonMari works on the level of mindsets—it helps us acquire the right mindset for creating order in our places, thus, creating order in our lives.
