My experience with the
KonMari Method was truly magical and life changing.
The KonMari Method is a type of de-cluttering and organizing created by Author and Prefessional Organizer Marie Kondo. She share her unique knowledge and method in her book "The Life Changing Magic Of Tidying Up." and goes in depth with steps in her book "Spark Joy".

Though I have been on this journey for a few months now, I am still not fully complete, and that's okay. Things are so much better and I haven't had any relapses in the areas I have completed. My life now focused on surrounding myself with things that only spark joy to me and my family. This may sound simple enough but until I learned of the Konmari Method I had a very unhealthy relationship with my possessions.
Most organizing and de-cluttering methods have you focus all your energy on purging, what can you get rid of. In the KonMari Method I found it was more of a positive outlook where your focus is on what brings joy to you in the moment and what you want for your future. As Marie Kondo the Author says "Only keep that which sparks joy." With my focus on the positive it has helped me really go from having an un-kept mess to a tidy home that doesn't drain all my time. I also don't waste my money on things I complete don't need or really even want.

The KonMari Method utilizes simple concepts to tackle even the largest clutter. Before you start doing any tidying you visualize your ideal space and lifestyle, and write it down. Then you de-clutter like items in a recommended order. Each item gets your attention, you hold it and decide if it sparks joy for you. If it doesn't you get rid of it, but if it does you keep it. De-cluttering piece by piece and having a well laid out plan helps me not to get overwhelmed and helps reduce the anxiety I feel about tidying. This may not work for everyone but it has been life changing for me.
