Start with clothing, then move on to books from "summary" of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo
Let's begin by tackling the mountain of clothing that has accumulated in your home. This category is a great starting point because we are all intimately familiar with our clothes and can quickly make decisions about what to keep and what to discard. Sort through each item one by one, holding it in your hands and asking yourself if it truly sparks joy. If the answer is yes, then keep it. If not, thank the item for its service and let it go.
Once you have decluttered your clothing and only kept the items that bring you joy, it's time to move on to books. Books can be a bit trickier to sort through because many of us have emotional attachments to the books we own. However, the same principle applies here – pick up each book and ask yourself if it sparks joy. If the answer is yes, then keep it. If not, thank the book for the knowledge or joy it brought you and pass it on to someone else who can benefit from it.
By starting with clothing and then moving on to books, you are practicing the art of tidying in a methodical and efficient way. This approach allows you to gradually build momentum and confidence as you declutter your home. Remember, the goal is not just to get rid of things, but to surround yourself with items that bring you joy and spark a sense of happiness.
As you go through this process, you will begin to notice a shift in your mindset and a greater appreciation for the items you choose to keep. This shift towards a more intentional and joyful way of living is what makes the KonMari method so powerful and life-changing. So, start with clothing, then move on to books, and let the magic of tidying up transform your home and your life.
