    I love this book. I got it for Christmas and read it, and it CHANGED MY LIFE. Now, whenever I'm cleaning anything, I always discard what I don't need and I'm left with a bigger space filled with the things I love. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking to clean their house/bedroom.

    It is sooo hard for me to go through stuff and get rid of it.. When I was growing up I was very poor and didn't have much and now that I have more its like I don't want to feel like I have nothing again so I hold onto a lot :(

      +Ashley Craig this is the same with my mom i'm working with her on it -it's a tough process so she's just going slow at her own pace. Good luck!

      My mom is the same way, she was very poor. My grandma had 8 kids n she was the 3rd girl. They basically had to share clothes 👚👞👡👒 so now that she has the money to do whatever she want. She is going in. Three cars a huge house, three little houses n the back ect...... 😰😧😦😳

    First...you husband is a riot.
    Second...I agree with doing everything at once I had a pretty traumatic experience over the winter involving some tenants who lived in the house behind mine along with a really terrible job. Just recently I took 3 days and cleaned my house from top to bottom every closet every drawer my garage my storage closet everything I rearranged cleaned out and throw things away and I cannot explain to you how good my mental state has become.
    Third...I am SO EXCITED for your up coming videos.

    @sgodbout2213 8 років тому

    I like how you described that it didn't come naturally (at first) to decide if it brought you joy. I have read the book and haven't purged my clothing because I was a little skeptical about the joy thing. I liked how you video taped your whole process and speeded it up. I like your attituded and length of tips.

    I did this in my closet, it was nice to see you pausing and holding it. I started out keeping more and then, went through the first two piles again. Yes would love to see more, I'm still in the process of going through the categories and started a whole minimalism outlook from it.
    Take care

  • @DevUhhhKnee
    @DevUhhhKnee 7 років тому

    This video helps me a lot! I always ask myself "will I need this in the future?" and it's one of the biggest things that holds me back when I declutter. I'm going to work on not feeling guilty when a piece has served its purpose for me and my space!

  • @aminadadniembe5976
    @aminadadniembe5976 9 років тому

    your channel is really useful as these techniques really work! most of us simply have too much stuff period. I realized I was living in an impossible dream. I bought things because they were there, on sale, clearance, close outs etc., What I failed to realize was that my lifestyle does not support an extensive wardrobe. I no longer need so many things. I was also holding on to the past through my possessions. I was owned by my stuff you see. Anyway I gave it all away. It was hard. When I remember some of it I think I went off my rocker a bit but still overall no regrets! It no longer makes sense to house things I haven't used and probably never will, things that others need, are looking for. I like knowing that I am helping orhers in a real way! Thank You for such a colourful, fun and again useful channel!

    LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I have been enduring a minimalist lifestyle for almost 2 years now.. so I'm excited that you're using the KonMari Method! Your videos are always so inspiring and easy to follow. I look forward to watching them every Sunday. Keep it up, girl!! And I do hope you continue to make videos about decluttering, organizing, and the KonMari Method.

  • @lindasteinman5766
    @lindasteinman5766 9 років тому +1

    I loved the video. Right after watching it, I went to my closet and drawers and made my piles of joy and no joy. The piles of no joy, will give joy to those less fortunate and the joy piles were hung up as you described and folded neatly in drawers. I would like to know how to organize my creams, serums, toners, cleansers, etc. Right now I am a mess with some creams here and there. You are so great at making life smooth and uncluttered. Thank you so much. Love the endings.

    • @TogetherWeCant
      @TogetherWeCant 5 років тому

      VERY good method! Another way to decipher whether or not you'd like to keep an item is to ask yourself "Does this item make me HAPPY? Screw anyone else, do YOU like it?"

    Also yes to a series! I love organisational videos. I've just now folded up my sock drawer and initially I was highly sceptical of folding SOCKS but it is SO much easier to see everything and does save space so I'm a convert now!

  • @cottoncritter
    @cottoncritter 8 років тому

    I have not read the book yet but I started diving into decluttering on my own a few years ago. I currently live with my boyfriend at his parent's house, and I share his bedroom with him. So not only have I been going through all my stuff (mostly in storage boxes), but I've been helping my boyfriend too. It's been challenging keeping a balance of our stuff in his room without it looking cluttered, but I'm grateful for this situation because it has taught us a lot about organization. We're planning on living in a Tiny House too....so I'd say organization skills are vital! I am also big on writing daily lists. xD

  • @cookiecrumbs302

  • @meganmcgrath5971
    @meganmcgrath5971 8 років тому +76

    I think I can get on board with a lot of the ideas in the book, but the whole idea of "does this clothing bring me joy" is hard for me to understand. Most of my clothing doesn't "bring me joy". It's just there and I wear it and thats the end of it

    • @erikac.9464
      @erikac.9464 8 років тому +41

      Joy could be, when you wear it does it make you feel good? Are you comfortable? Confident? Feeling nice and well kept? Do you feel good wearing it or is it just okay and something to wear? Is it just 'meh'?

    • @miriamhernandez3659
      @miriamhernandez3659 8 років тому +9

      Yes I agree, I had a wool cardigan that i thought was lovely but when i would wear I felt like i looked like 20years older, so that was a no "joy" item

    Great video. I've watched so many UA-cam videos of the KonMari method, but yours is really the best. You hit the high spots and was VERY interesting, not boring like so many others' are. I'd love to see you "tidy" the other categories.

  • @olive3700
    @olive3700 8 років тому

    Your videos are great, I love the funny endings. I've seen several videos about organizing clothes that don't include the discarding part and, to me, that's the most important part. In fact some of them just mean bringing in more clutter in the way of plastic boxes and more hangers. Your method truly minimizes and ends with a light airy closet with only the clothes you really like and need!

  • @alanalazanik
    @alanalazanik 8 років тому

    I saw these books in Costco a few days ago and was really intrigued but, I didn't buy them. Then, I watched this video last night and this morning I immediately went out and purchased both. I'm already half way done Spark Joy, AMAZING read. I am someone who feels a lot of anxiety from clutter or an untidy space. Thanks so much for the video! xx

  • @amyspence7855
    @amyspence7855 9 років тому

    I read this book and applied the method over the summer this year. I got really in to minimalism for a brief period of time so I really got rid of a LOT of stuff. It felt great and I really liked clearing everything out; however, I haven't been able to stop from accumulating more stuff, like the book says will happen. I've gotten off the minimalism band wagon but I still really like the concept of it all. Honestly, the hardest thing for me to get rid of wasn't my makeup or clothing or books, it was my nail polishes!!! I really should have kept most of them, but I wanted to really embrace minimalism. I still regret giving them all away! Anyhoo, I'd love to see a series of you doing each step! Maybe it'll motivate me to continue will minimalism!

  • @naz-nazneen886
    @naz-nazneen886 8 років тому

    I'm 2 months "new" to this. I found trying to do it all at once stressed & overwhelmed me. I decided to go through my clothes by season. Since I started in Spring, I only went through all that -sorting by throw away, donate & sale. Then I laid out all I had left & started putting outfits together. Whatever didn't go together, I asked the minimalism questions-do I love, need, how often, etc 😊

  • @shila7777

    But boy oh boy, watching this folding is making me want to CRY!!!!!
    I have slight OCD, so i like things a certain away, and that folding method is working on my nerves. Haha!!!
    I will never be able to fold my clothes that way.
    I was cringing through this whole video after that LOL...
    Never the less, the other stuff you do, i absolutely LOVE!!!!!!!
    Cant believe you don't have more subscribers.
    Keep up the good work, you are just amazing!!!!!
    Lots of love all the way from a small town in South Africa

  • @robynp8697
    @robynp8697 8 років тому

    Thanks for showing us how to fold--i still haven't quite got the hang of it yet so they are all uniform in the drawer, but at least clothes are done. Books are done. I know Marie says to do one category at a time, but am doing papers in bedroom and komodo/misc stuff in kitchen after I had to pull it all out for the new counters anyway. Step by step, it does feel good to release the surplus and have "breathing room." Enjoy your videos--will make some DIY cleaning products soon, and also appreciate the tip about no vinegar on granite.

    I love your videos so much! I am such an organization freak so your videos are my favorite to watch! This video inspired me to go through all of my clothes and I would love to see the rest of the categories!

    Until recently I have not
    owned a dresser in years and I really like hanging almost all of my clothing - I can see the benefit of looking at all clothing items at one time. Tfs

    I love putting my folded clothes side by side it definitely saves space and is more visually aesthetic. I hang up jackets dresses, and tops that crease, everything else in a dresser

    I love the Konmari method. It is so much easier to keep my house organized following it. btw, your hubby is funny!

    It sounds like very practical advice. Yes I'd love to see the other steps demonstrated.
