About the KonMari Method®

Start with a vision

The KonMari Method® starts with you — with a picture of the home and life you love. You carry that vision with you, and it guides your intuition through the process.

Believe you can

A complete transformation is achievable. What makes it real — and lasting — is full commitment to yourself: believing you can. What starts with changing your home has a way of resonating through your life.

Tidy by category

Gathering everything of one type together — and out of its usual place — wakes it up. You clearly see what you actually have, not what you thought it was. Decisions become easier when you see things fresh.

Discard before you organize

Decide what stays, release without guilt, then organize. That order lets you feel the true shape of what you're keeping before you finalize where it lives.

Follow the right order

The KonMari Method® follows a specific sequence: Clothes, Books, Papers, Komono — everything else, and Sentimental. Each category makes the next easier and builds your sensitivity for what sparks joy.

Keep what sparks joy

One by one, you hold each item and feel whether it sparks joy. Your heart will tell you what fits you and the life you're building. When you’re done, you’re surrounded by what you love.
