What is the KonMari Method?

The KonMari Method developed by Marie Kondo, bestselling author of the Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up is a simple but effective tidying method, ensuring you will never again relapse to clutter. It uses a unique selection criterion – choosing what sparks joy! You are not choosing what to discard but rather choosing to keep only the items that speak to your heart. Through tidying, you can reset your life and spend the rest of your life surrounded by the people and things that you love the most.
