It focuses on what to keep rather than what to get rid of.
Typical organizing and decluttering methods focus on getting rid of stuff. With the KonMari Method®, you’re asked what you’d like to keep. Have a bucket of wine corks? Keep it, as long as it brings you joy. Ten tubes of the same lipstick? Keep them, if they all bring you joy! One pen that you use to write everything? Keep that joy-bringing sucker.
Tidy by category, not by location.
Have you ever tried tidying by location, only to end up going in circles? It’s harder to tidy by location because in all likelihood, you have clothing in your closet and dresser, more clothing in the laundry hamper, coats and jackets hanging by the front door, and maybe a few shirts on your bedroom floor (hey, no shame or judgment here!). Gathering everything in a single category will show you the truth of what you own, making tidying easier.
You imagine and bring about your ideal lifestyle through tidying.
This part of the process gets to the why. Why tidy at all? Why declutter? By answering these questions, people get to their core reason for wanting to tidy. For example, someone may want to tidy in order to have a less cluttered space. Why? Because it feels more peaceful, and they envision a calm lifestyle where they have the physical and mental freedom to move about their space with ease.
