Episode 45 | Organizing: The KonMari Method
Tuesday Oct 06, 2020
Tuesday Oct 06, 2020
Let's discuss home organization; specifically the KonMari Method™. Most tidying methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, creating a scenario that may just never end because it’s not structured with a beginning and an end date.
People around the world have been drawn to the KonMari Method™ not only due to its effectiveness but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking. I have invited Kristyn Ivey & Karin Socci, licensed KonMari consultants, and Co-hosts of the Spark Joy podcast dedicated to the transformative power of surrounding yourself with joy; and letting go of the all the rest.
