✨ “It is crucial not only to tidy by category but also to follow the correct order, which is clothes, books, papers, komono (miscellany), and finally, sentimental items.” - Spark Joy, Marie Kondo ✨ | It’s so tempting to work out of order to tackle the parts that bothers you the most first but you might not be ready for it! Start with clothes and follow the right order. Do it once and do it well!
Happy Sunday! What are you up to today? I spent the morning mending my coat. Next on my list is to restock the supplies in my kit before heading to a tidying lesson. At some point I’ll need to plan out the week as I have tidying lessons booked everyday this week because I forgot to book myself a day off 😬 oops! It’s a good thing helping people KonMari sparks so much joy for me. Hope you have a wonderful day! | 📷 by @kristenholmphoto
✨ “All you need is a kitchen in which you can enjoy cooking.” - Spark Joy, Marie Kondo ✨ | I love working on kitchens because having a well organized kitchen is a big part in supporting my clients living their ideal life. This can mean a kitchen where they can easily prepare a healthy meal and/or a kitchen that makes it easy to entertain family & friends. What do you find is the biggest challenge in your kitchen?
✨ “Have you ever tidied madly, only to find that all too soon your home or workspace is cluttered again? If so, let me share with you the secret of success. Start by discarding. Then organize your space, thoroughly, completely, in one go. If you adopt this approach—the KonMari Method—you’ll never revert to clutter again.” The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, Marie Kondo ✨

✨ “Clothes made of thicker materials, such as jackets, suits, and coats, should be stored on hangers, as should any items that are hard to fold or that wrinkle easily, such as men’s dress shirts and garments that are made of fluttery material.” - Spark Joy, Marie Kondo ✨
