But I appreciate your comment bc I will give her show a try, and maybe find some things that do work for me!

@@ltraina3353 I didn't use a lot of her methods either, I just used what works in my life for example I hang all my shirts instead of put them in doors, personally the thing I took away from it is the more storage you have the less you appriciate the stuff you have because its hidden away in doors and a lot of the time people forget about it. That is just my opinion, so just take away from the book what can help you in your life because Marie is from a different culture. I do admit as I let things go I thanked them for the memories it made me feel better.

For the people mad about getting rid of books, photos, etc: Marie Kondo has NEVER said that you have to get rid of anything, or get rid of a certain number of something. The whole point of her philosophy is that you keep the things that you love ("spark joy"). If all of your 300 shoes or 1000 books bring you joy, then you don't have to get rid of them. She just recommends that you look at each one, one by one, and think about if you love it and want to bring it with you into the future. If you don't, pass it on to someone else and bring joy to them. If you do, keep whatever you want.

@shuuch 5 жыл бұрын

I think the use of the word "spark joy" is very foreign itself to people who don't speak Japanese. The word she used in her Japanese version book is "tokimeku" or "ときめく". When directly translated to English it means, "to throb" or "to flutter". It's the feeling of when you're in love and everything becomes beautiful in rosy glasses. This method is probably aiming to recreate that fluttering feeling in the living area. Just my opinion 🥰

It's amazing how a catchphrase like "sparks joy" can motivate people to get to work. Basic phrases like "why do you have it?" and "what is this for?" are ignored. But when you hear "it must spark joy", people all of a sudden are all for tidying up.

@MeAVE243 5 жыл бұрын

Some people need your questions because 'spark joy' and thanking their house isn't comfortable or meaningful for them. I think the near personification of items sometimes helps people do things that deep down they know they need to do but don't do for themselves.

And what's funny is that Marie Kondo wouldn't have had the success she has if the translator had used a more occidental phrase like "does it makes you happy?"

@okashi10 5 жыл бұрын

I agree. Just the tiny perspective shift between "let's find out what I love and am excited about" and "what should I get rid of" really makes a difference.

@juliedinh5079 5 жыл бұрын

Even if "This spatula is for baking" or "I have this pen to write", the most important reason that matter is "because baking makes me happy", or "be able to write make me happy". So in fact, happy is the true reason. But I think "spark joy" would describe the emotion we aim for better because the feeling we aim for is the emotion of overwhelmingly joyful such as when we see a super cute dog or cat that we would like to squeeze it in our hands. That emotion is not just happy.

I think it should be mentioned, that the KonMari Method is not about minimalism, it is about living your best life. The grounds of the whole operation, that most people miss out on, is, that you have to create a vision of the life you want to live, the job you aspire, the living room you dream of, the style you wish for, the hobbys you want, how exactly a day of yours should look, planned down to the minute. Once you have that vision vividly in your mind and really want to get there, THEN you start going through all your stuff and in that context, only things that fit your vision will bring you joy, because the vision itself makes you happy. Which means, once you have celebrated the declutter-festivites, there are only things in your life that lead to your vision, which makes it so much easier to actually pusue it. That in turn makes it easier to maintain order and so forth. Sparking joy is the novelty, but it is not the root of the method.

The most important thing was left out and I think it was left out on purpose so as not to turn off people from following the method. Just like losing weight, the most important thing to remember is that this isn't a one-time activity. People think if they devote a couple of days of tidying up, after it's done then that's it, don't have to worry about it again. Wrong!!!! Tidying up means you have to remain tidy forever. The moment you start throwing items in corners and on the floor, that's when it starts piling up again, that's when you start telling yourself "I'll fix that later", that's when it adds up to a big mess again and you're back to where you were before tidying up. And the joy that you're looking for will only come on days that you reserve for tidying up which could be once in a while. You want joy everyday? Then keep tidy everyday.

@Ceares 5 жыл бұрын

no, I want sleep everyday, money everyday would be nice, food everyday definitely, playing with my dog everyday brings me joy, tidying does not. Sure it's nice when things are neat but I'm pretty fine with being fairly messy till I get to that "whoa!" point.

@Kasiarzynka 5 жыл бұрын

@up Her method is actually more about developing a habit that saves you tidying up. Like if you designate a home for each item and keep putting the items back to their home when you've finished using it means you don't have to put them in place later. Washing your dishes shortly after finishing the meal means they're most likely easier to clean (ford didn't dry on it) and it takes a moment, compared to washing a whole pile. I've applied her method for my bathroom stuff so far since I'm renovating my room (where I've decluttered about three bags of stuff so far tho) and let me tell you, it does work. I just got myself one single box for my stuff and everything I used returnes directly into it - whether it's a deodorant, a shampoo or a face cleaning product. Not only I save time because I don't look for things anymore but also feel better having less stuff there and having it nicely organized. And I've been a totally messy person my whole life (not a hoarder tho).

@@annablackwell2625 A rice cooker is a type of pressure cooker that is mainly for rice. If you don't make rice often, it's probably not worth it. But if you do? It's fantastic. The biggest advantage is that you can just set it and forget it, no babysitting required or risk of burning. The fancier ones can keep your rice warm without drying out for hours and can adapt even if your water ratio is off, giving you perfect rice every time. So for us Asians, it's pretty much a standard kitchen appliance.

i watched "tidying up" and naturally i tried out some of the tips. i think i'm going to stick with it, because it feels so meditative to me. the folding especially. and this method is just so aesthetically pleasing to me too. the process brings up important questions about how i want to live my life, and the act of tidying gives me a way to make intentional choices and act on what i value for my home. i'm excited about how my environment is going to help me live the life i want to live, and i'm excited for the experience tidying gives me. i look forward to getting home and doing some tidying and that's a good new feeling for me.

I think you will find that once everything has a home, things out of place will bother you more and you will be motivated to place things back where they belong. I do all of these tips intuitively, minus her special folding method. Knowing where everything is in your home whilst living in an uncluttered space saves time and is mentally calming for me.

Im just really thankful for my culture overall. I am vietnamese, I remember every single year on lunar new year my mom would force me and my siblings to clean out room, just dig out every single item, pile them and clean the cupboards, dressers. Which ever item we dont use anymore we have to immediately throw out that year and also donate the old clothes which we dont like anymore. This apply to everyone in our country. I thought it was a super normal thing to do and i keep doing it. Now looking back its actually so helpful to have that mind set since childhood.

After reading her book I realized that what I was looking for was a way to distinguish how to throw something out. I know that I have too much stuff and storing things in boxes was not what I was looking for. I do not want to be a minimalist but I would not mind have a lot less than I do have now.

Now if I can only get amazon to deliver in clear boxes...
