Konmari
The Konmari method is a tidying and organizing technique developed by Marie Kondo, a Japanese organizing consultant and author. The method focuses on decluttering and organizing by category rather than by location. The core principle is to keep only those items that "spark joy." As it focuses on the emotional connection to possessions, the method makes individuals to assess each item in their homes and decide whether it truly adds value to their lives. The method enables individuals to have a living with a mindset of intentional living and mindfulness by respecting their belongings and having a order in their homes.
