finally. thank you. I also read her book before watch her videos and it help me much to understand what she means. people really need to do their own research before throwing some hate on other people.

Americans have no culture.

American culture is unhealthy food, poor education, and bad recycling practices.

I don't think she is crazy, she understand the fundamentals of geometry and physics, nothing to with crazyness but smart.

Not really... because then you're reading/watching the subtitles rather than actually watching the video.

I love subs than dubs

I watch dub ok 😂

Usually I agree when it comes to things like feature films. However, it's hard to keep your eye on a detailed process like this when you're reading words at the same time.

lol anime watchers can multitask for sure, especially sub

Life with Liv everything has to standing up 🙈🤣👍

🌈Probably like nothing has never been used/like a clothing store 🌈

Omg I would love to be there🤪

She said it was like everyone else's home. She just cleans. Something like that. She's got a kid.

Imagine the loving energy people must feel when they walk into her home! She is full of positive, warm energy. To become like her!

If you need to learn how to fold clothes and be in "love" with them, you need a lot more than Ms. Kondo here to help you. Most people's dressers are NOT a mess, so her so-called "method" is nothing more than reducing the size of what you put inside it by folding it smaller. It's not rocket science.

@@noturningbackever493 you need to calm down

@@p.e.d6541 Really? Since when do I need to "calm down" from MY opinion? And who asked YOU to comment to me anyway??!! MYOB if you have NOTHING nice to say to em!

@@noturningbackever493 you need to calm down

@@p.e.d6541 I believe you do, too, since it bothered you that I wrote something here that you don't like.

batshit crazy doesnt help anyone, wake up

Talk about over-exaggeration! It takes a lot more to help humanity than instructing people how to fold and talk to their clothes so that they are serene and happy in their drawers / wardrobes! Get a life.

leicestergirl63 calm down, it’s a person expressing their opinion

​@@leicestergirl63 Her work is not only this. It is just a detail. How to fold clothes is not the main point about what she does. What she does really helps many people to transform their chaotic lives into a better one.

@@isaacnewton6930 she may sound crazy to you, but keep in mind that they're japanese. what they're saying is probably less odd than the literal translation and misunderstandings we have in english.

+Doris Wachtler She did same to me! :)

es adorable!

I know, she’s like a little cute cookie her voice makes me sleepy lol 😴

Doris Wachtler very true I want to go and fold some clothes and get tidy😄❤️🙏🏼

On this planet? Perhaps. But in reality, it's is GOD that gives us help and strength to clean our lives up. Do NOT venerate this woman, no matter how "cute" or "sweet" she seems to be.

The Gifted Vegan: Really? Watching her is more like irritation - at the fact that she's getting super rich, and famous, for doing f*** all and that so many people are 'following the herd' and buying into this nonsense. Anyone with commonsense, a brain and who isn't bone idle can organize their things, and have regular clearouts of clothing, etc, without being told how to do it. Also, anyone who is buying into the 'talking to your clothes' crap must be insane! Nobody who doesn't have some kind of mental / psychological issues would talk to their clothing!! Honestly, this woman must be laughing all the way to the bank at how stupid, and gullible, some people are!

leicestergirl63 I seriously suggest you read her book before you start hating on her methods because she's changed so many lives with her KonMari method and I can only hope it can change your life as well.

The Gifted Vegan r

Party like it ́s 1999 well said

seems the first need for most human beings is to be guided. They feel soothed by this. So huge is our lack of parental care :(

Really? How about her eyes light up, knowing how much MONEY she is making on the video and books?

@@noturningbackever493 You are the saddest person ever.

@@russelb923 Not by a long shot. Just thinking practical. I am over 60, so I know how to do these things. I don't need a video to learn.

@@noturningbackever493then why did you watched the video? 😂🤣🤣

@@samilesamil9159 I am not answering any more comments. I have written here MONTHS ago, and will not respond.

knittingarch agreed

For the record, the Japanese business culture in Japan is just as bad, if not worse than our corporate culture. They're also extremely xenophobic. We could both learn a lot from each other and others. Japan's sense of community, for example, where every person's role is valued and respected, whether they're an office worker or a gas station attendant.

knittingarch girl you are so right

For people in asia especially.. folding clothes is not a weird task to do.

Lmfao well put

وتءتع من يزنويتتزينتتي

Ugh I hate folding but I love what the outcome of this looks like. Are you still sticking with it, or am I doomed to fail due to my absolute hatred of folding?

Let me ask you a question: What did you do BEFORE you saw this video and\or read her book? How did you ever survive without her "wisdom?" What if she NEVER starred in a video or wrote a book--then what would you do? Most people have great organizing skills--myself included--I\we don't need someone to make $$$ off our folding "skills"...we just organize everything as we do with the rest of our lives.

@@noturningbackever493 Her videos are good for people who are usually disorganized and want everything to be more tidy, then. I get why people think her store is horrible but she has a lot of good organisation techniques.

Ashle have you try colloidal silver?

"Neat" experience 😂😂

dayaaaaam hahaha omg I didn't even notice

kopec82 man fuck you. colloidal silver doesn’t do shit.

Ashley Lyme disease is absolute shit. Grew up in the county with the most cases of Lyme in the world. My entire immediate family has it, including me. You’re strong as hell.

I have 9, work full-time and study nights. I still do this, but definitely don't have time to "show affection and gratitude". Lmao.

I'm Watching You certainly don’t have time because you’ve put lot on your plate. I’m wondering why you chose to have so many children in your current situation. I’m surprised you have enough time to fully nurture each of your nine children unless your your family pitches in. And by pitching in I mean your parents must be the primary care givers (hopefully). Unless, of course your husband (hopefully you have one) is the primary care giver. I’d hate to hear you put them in daycare so you can pursue YOUR goals. Excuse me for stating the obvious, but unless your husband stays home to manage the household and care for the children, I have to say it seems you’ve done a poor job of family planing. Hopefully your full-time job pays for all your and your family’s expenses (or are independently wealthy), because, if not, it seems as though you may be using government programs to pay for your expenses. I know I’m making a lot of assumptions, but with a full-time job, night school and nine kids it really sounds like someone is getting shortchanged (either your children or the American tax payers). Hopefully I’m wrong on all accounts.

And it's a good example for kids to keep clean in their teenage.

Let's not shame people who don't have the time or energy or struggle to be organised (me with my ADHD) and remember the whole point of her book is to help EVERYONE including those who struggle the most. She says in her book tidying up is supposed to be something you do ONCE in your life - that's the point of her method.

your boss sounds like an asshole.

You need to go to a therapist to help you have a backbone of steel. Life in any office has never been a picnic--just deal with it and grow up a little more, so ANY boss won't make you cry.

People don't just switch jobs. They leave because of TOXIC workplaces.

Pentecostal Believer S-R good advice, except for the part when you threw an insult. It doesn’t help your point to be a jerk.

Hope you’re doing well, Jennifer!

I don't think she speaks English... Lol ✌❤😍👍

OMG I love your videos so much it makes me so happy to see you there! Love from France keep on doing so good ASMR 😍❤👍

Hermetic Kitten Oh my gosh Kiki hahaha

Hermetic Kitten Kiki por Dios que sorpresa verte aquí! 😂😂

Sebastian Dangerfield She's an ASMRtist with her own channel!

Qué linda sorpresa verte por acá 😍 las amo a las dos! Muchas gracias 😊

Zehra aa I totally agree, the big win for me has been not relapsing. Since the first time I followed her methods for decluttering, folding, etc., I've not had to tidy up again because everything is always in its place. The only cleaning I do is the kind that never goes away (vacuuming, dusting, washing dishes, etc.). It's so soothing to wake up every morning and know my space is in order.

The big win for me is not buying so many things in the first place. I have a weakness for books,stationary, and cosmetics but after having decluttered, I really think what I'm buying through. Do I LOVE that item, if I do, do I REALLY need it... etc. I think cleaning, especially dusting and vacuuming are easier to do in a decluttered space.

Zehra aa So true! Now when I want to buy something, I put real thought into it, and more often than not I end up walking away, and don't feel the regret I thought I would. I just no longer want so much stuff.

Zehra aa The thing that frustrates me is when people are like, "She's only saying what's common sense. If you need her book to get yourself organized there's something wrong with you." Well, I've never been a messy person and I've always kept my space pretty neat, but her books have helped me take it to a whole other level. I'm much more at peace now and comfortable in my own home.

I live in Turkey, Istanbul. Many people including my sister had to move because of the urban ''transformation'' (more like destruction) project and it was eye opening. Because we were pressed for time we had to throw away many thiings, a lot of other things went to storage and some essential things went to their rented flat . That was my aha moment. The financial impact of the things you don't quite need, trying to store things you think you might need or miss someday is very evident when you try to pack and organise things in a very short space of time.

LOL yeah I think it's an awesome technique but the talking to the fabric part is sort of useless. It's an inanimate object. She could have said get a feel for the clothes but not TALK to it lolll

+Mel I agree! I like a lot of her methods, but treating possessions as if they were alive and had feelings is a little OTT for my practical nature!!

It's not really about talking to the fabric itself or seeing it as living. It's about expressing outward gratitude for what you have. When you learn how to appreciate your items, it helps you to appreciate a bunch of other smaller things in life that we take for granted. And when you can be grateful for everything from your kitchen pots to your cup of coffee, you can really surround yourself and even others around you with a sort of peace and happiness. You don't have to straight up talk to your clothes, it's more of an inner dialogue to yourself kind of thing.

I understand whay you mean, but in her books she definitely talks to and about her possessions as if they were alive and had feelings. She even says so straight out in her first book. I've always believed in gratitude, appreciation and looking after my things, but storing socks in certain way is *not* cruel! (An example from 'Spark Joy')

You clearly DIDN'T read her books, or didn't understand her method

Fanny maybe put clothes of a certain style next to each other? long sleeves to the right, shorter to the left in the drawer?☺️

Agree. Had same issue.

Tess Leothirteen If you have a shirt with a design on the front when you fold it make sure that the blank side is facing you. That way when you fold it the design side ends up visible and it’s easy to find. :)

I like this thinking. If it's not for you or for all types of clothing you have use a combination of methods. I have a similar issue but because I know most of my clothes but touch and sight I don't have it as much

@@supersonicfroot That is what I do and the method is amazing when you do that

Pandemona Jesus?? Dont forget to insult allah and buddha😉

Because some people are resistant to change and refuse to be taught a better way. It is these people who remain unhappy and bitter, moaning about their lives. Ignore them. We'll just carry on living our best lives.

You don't realize that your complaining in the comments as well...

True. My mother taught me since 7-8 years old and once I got to college I realized how much time disorganized people waste on searching what they didn’t sort out. A clean environment leaves room for the brain to breathe.

@@missyb9438 Typical religous nut job. Making a big deal out of nothing. Fucking snowflake.

hahaaaaaahaha

People accuse me of being in love with my socks, but that's ridiculous! I'm fond of them, I will admit...

John Hommel: I show all kinds of frustration and annoyance at my socks when some of them seem to wander off and go AWOL, leaving only 1 sock out of a pair!!

I have rolled mine as in pairs into a ball since childhood. Works perfectly. You never lose a sock..the eventual singles due to loss during a wash or rips(I do mend my favorite socks), I use for cleaning blinds , shower, etc.(just put your hand inside and clean).

Me too, and that's what makes them so easy to stand up all by themselves.

And you sound like a creep.

Waaaoooo!!....😳🤔

I organized my whole closet in one day after watching her series on Netflix 😆

Now.. U can DO MORE.. Laundry!!!... LMA0

+mrskamran It's amazing right?! I got a little anxious reading the process of folding because I couldn't really understand the instructions and this video helped me a lot. I started reading it last night before bed and I only stopped because I was so tired. But this morning at breakfast I picked it up again and I got so into it that I forgot about lunch! I totally lost track of time. I'm so inspired to clean my house and my life.

ninna kareninn: Clearly, you and all the other people who are buying into this crap (and what should be total commonsense to most people - tidying up and decluttering is not rocket science!) have WAAAAY too much time on your hands, and if you're reading books at bedtime about how to precisely fold clothes you must be pretty sad!!

leicestergirl63 shut the fuck up.

Because it is life changing.

1:15 am for me. 😆

Neither do I care about nutcase Marie.

Don't watch the video if you don't want to either. If you do not care about her or what she is doing, why are you here?

She has two kids, anyway. She turned her home skills into a successful career. These lazy complainers have no excuse.

Exactly she has a 1 and 2 year old. Maybe if they stop taking hour long trips with their bff to gossip at starbucks. They would have time.

People need to watch her Netflix series "Tidying Up"....she has two young kids herself. Those whinging would feel less stressed with their busy lifestyle "having a two year old" if they applied some of her methods and calmness to their own lives.

Paula Staton: ..... and I'm sure she's laughing manically every day at how rich she's getting thanks to people like you buying into her nonsense and hanging onto her every word.

yes, so you surround yourself with things that make you happy
