To sum up, it explains how to ‘spark joy’ in your like by tidying up your environment - I’d suggest to read the book, it’s very interesting.
I don’t know much about it, but I feel like I know the basics. The Marie Kondo method is a way of tidying. There’s a certain way you clean: starting with this category and moving on to the next. I believe there’s five categories. And, I know, with clothes, you ask yourself “does this spark joy?” And if it doesn’t, you can donate it or sell it if it’s fairly new. That’s all I know for know.
She has a series on Netflix you can check out. She basically teaches people to live in a tidy minimalist way to bring happiness and harmony to peoples homes and lives.
The method of purging your home for what gives you joy and what does not. Allowing yourself to use gratitude for each and every item in your household, while using strategic methods to place the things you keep in an orderly fashion.
It is a method for organizing and de-cluttering that focuses on appreciating your belongings and only keeping items that bring you joy. She has a Netflix show.
It is worth to read it. It teaches you that less is more. That clutter is detrimental. That having a clean tidy home make it pleasant for you to spend time there. It shows you how to know what things you should decide to throw away. How to organise things. But basically you have to give away a lot of stuff. It feels so good!! I feel much better. I did wonders for me.
In essence, it’s a way to appreciate what you have materially and help decide what you want in your future life. The method asks to organize your things by categories instead of places e.g. clothes- pull all the clothes and form a big pile on your bed, then, hold each item in your hand and ask if the item sparks joy for you. Is it an item you’d want to buy and wear again? If so, keep it. If not, thank the item for serving you well and put it in a donate/discard pile. Do this similarly for paper, for books, for miscellaneous items and then items of sentimental value (usually the hardest for people).
I am wondering what made you ask that question? Marie Kondo wrote a book about decluttering. Her methods are about keeping only things in your life that incite joy when you pick them up. Of course their is a lot more to it, but that would be a very long answer. Some things in the book have been helpful to me. If you’re interested in decluttering you might enjoy reading it. As with most things I recommend using the parts that work for you and ignoring the rest!
Only things that give you joy should stay in your life. To everything else it’s better to say “thank you” and “good bye”.
