  • KonMari Method = Life-Changing Magic? After watching Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, I was inspired to finally declutter 17 years+ of accumulated clutter in my room after letting things pile up during COVID. Basically decluttering all my stuff since college, multiple apartments, my books/papers from when I worked in investment banking, my music gear as a musician in LA, my CD collection from high school, super old clothes, stacks of books, and random things that I couldn't let go of as a maximalist with a "just-in-case" hoarding issue. I took on this extreme decluttering challenge using Marie Kondo's legendary KonMari Method to see if I could declutter my room and my life.

    Nicely done. My daughter and I did this years ago (and refresh it every so often when things pile up), and one of the first things that amazed me was when I went to get dressed the first time. In my closet were ONLY clothes that fit, looked good on me, and made me happy. Took about 2 minutes to get dressed. Until you experience it, you won't believe it. But what a feeling to be free of the "someday I'll lose the weight" or "when I go to (name an event you never go to)" or "if I find a top to go with it" etc.

    This is the true meaning of decluttering. Most other videos are of people who still in their early 20's and have not even had a chance to collect things and it doesn't show the true visual behind decluttering. This is how it truly is for most people. Its years and years of collecting and not letting go.

    Brilliant!
    I loved this.
    No tidy people, rattling gently through their colour coded clothes, and wiping clear kitchens in slow motion, in what look to me like immaculate homes, with little clutter, but a real person doing the big clutter crunch.
    And I know how big a thing it is.
    I am a chronic clutter mess.
    But enough is enough! And your video has helped to unlock the hope.
    When I return from holiday I am using September to do this.
    I intend to have a clear house well before Christmas when I have family to stay.
    Not had many people over the threshold since Lockdown 2020.
    A new life awaits. Thank you.

    thank you so much for this mindset! It is a big reminder to me.
    At the moment I am struggeling with only setting my focus on what has to leave and what I can get rid of. And I am stressing myself with that because there is always room to "improve", to "have less", to "be better". My focus goes so much towards this one direction that I forget to see what is already there and what gives me so much joy and what I can be proud of and feel free and happy about.
    So thank you so much for your what you are telling at 10:15!
    It gives me so much peace and inspiration at the moment and I hope that I will find a good way to change from one focus to the other

    • @PeterSu
      @PeterSu  9 місяців тому +5

      Love it! Yeah...I was overwhelmed at many points every day. I caught myself being so focused on EVERYTHING I had to get rid of. But then I realized the KonMari method assumes you get rid of everything, and you ONLY keep what sparks joy - and that's the important part. That reframe helped me a lot, just focusing on a few things - the light instead of the darkness xp.
      I really love what you said about focusing on what we've gained and not the gap. Yeah this decluttering experience definitely also helped me to accept and appreciate myself and what's important to me. So many life lessons from getting rid of years of objects.
      Good luck with your decluttering journey it sounds like you're going for it and making progress! 👐💯

    My bf and I are moving into our own house soon. Rent here in Germany is expensive so we basicly have to live on a construction site for a few months to save some money. This made me think alot about my (spending) habits. Our housing situation will be chaotic enough so I decided to declutter my whole appartment. And oh boy this was a hell of a task. It was a huge reality check for me that I wasted so much money on stuff I never used. There was so much literal trash in all of our cabinets, drawers and shelves. It took me a week but now it feels so nice to only have things around me that I like. I love your results, you did great!

    Great job on decluttering and figuring out what to keep! I started following the KonMari Method several years back but on and off. It's nice to see how possible it would be to get done in a matter of days. Watching your video, I also got a sense of comfort and clarity by the end. Thanks for sharing your journey!

      Loll - yeah...I think my "just in case" mentality has led to waaay too many clothes. I found an eraser from 2nd grade...xp. So yeah...was really glad to declutter, I feel a lot better. Recently did a mini declutter and got a bag of stuff - feels great!

      About your clothes may I give you an intrusive suggestion 😆 you don’t need to be a fashionista. You have the charm and beauty within yourself. So pairing down to a minimum would make it so much easier to organize and sort - less time consuming doing laundry 🧺 folding putting away. Remember the beauty is within yourself please let it sink in. And let it go!✨🍃✨
