Thanks to a Japanese method very detailed you can finally put your home in order, transform your spaces and your life. The creator of the reordering method we want to talk to you about is Marie Kondo.
She is now very famous both in Japan and internationally for helping many people, from families, to single women to businessmen, to tidy up their home and office perfectly and without regret for getting rid of what is not. needed more.
Marie Kondo is a home economics expert and tidying consultant. She is the author of the book "The magical power of tidying up", a guide to change your life starting from the arrangement of the house.
The expert starts from the assumption that an infinite number of objects of all kinds - from clothing to books, from gadgets to souvenirs - overwhelm our increasingly smaller homes and offices, take up a lot of space and almost suffocate us.
Marie Kondo's magical method is not only thought of to free up the spaces of the house, But especially to lighten the mind. Since she was a child, the author enjoyed tidying up her house, starting with the bathroom cabinets and her own bedroom, until she soon became responsible for cleaning her own class when she was in elementary school.
It is known that children in Japan from an early age are made responsible for the care of the spaces of the house, classrooms and plants and the expert immediately demonstrated that she has a magnificent inclination for the art of tidying up.
The Kondo method probably will deny any advice on reordering that you have read so far in the magazines dedicated to the home. It is a somewhat drastic method, closer, for obvious reasons, to the Eastern mentality rather than to our Western lifestyle.
Yet each of us could draw inspiration from this book and try to put the author's advice into practice without too many problems. Marie Kondo focuses heavily on the need to reorganize spaces and tidying up the house once and for all. When the house is in order and each object has found its place, no more time will be wasted in large tidying operations. The only actions that we will carry out when the house is really in order will concern the normal repositioning of the objects in their place after using them during the day.
The most difficult part to deal with in the Kondo method, however, certainly does not concern the reorganization as the relocation of objects, since it is one of the simplest activities, first mental and then physical, that we can carry out.
The real point that will change our life, according to the author, will be giving up all the objects we no longer need. In his opinion we should give up everything we don't need e surround ourselves only with beautiful things that give us emotions.
In order not to have difficulty in choosing the objects to give up, Kondo suggests making the selections with a very precise order: first the clothes, then the books, then the documents, then the mixed objects and finally the memories. Yes, because memories are really difficult to do without, but perhaps some objects linked to the past have turned into an emotional weight and an anchor from which the time has come to free oneself.
In this way we will learn to refine our natural intuition for what really excites us and we should not be afraid to give up first of all the gadgets accumulated over the years and the free samples, perhaps by now expired, with which we have filled a drawer.
The Kondo method inspires us a lot, but there is one point on which we disagree. The expert suggests throwing everything in the garbage bags. From this point of view we prefer the methods indicated by decluttering to get rid of objects that are no longer needed.
In our opinion the things we will no longer need from now on they shouldn't end up in the trash, but they can and should be donated to charity: clothes for the homeless, old blankets in kennels, books in educational centers, hospitals and libraries, toys in kindergartens and so on. In this way, our need to tidy up the house will be useful for us but at the same time it will be advantageous for those who will be able to use what we no longer need.
You have already read the book "The magical power of tidying up "? Do you think the Kondo method can really work?
