Kondo\u2019s six tidying rules<\/h3>\n<p>The \u201cspark joy\u201d element of Kondo\u2019s organizing method (known as the KonMari Method) is well-known, but did you now that Kondo has six basic rules of tidying?<\/p>\n<p>As she writes on her website, they are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Commit yourself to tidying up.<\/li>\n<li>Imagine your ideal lifestyle.<\/li>\n<li>Finish discarding first.<\/li>\n<li>Tidy by category, not by location.<\/li>\n<li>Follow the right order.<\/li>\n<li>Ask yourself if it sparks joy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3>2. She\u2019s been famous for longer than you might think<\/h3>\n<p>We here in North America may have only heard about Kondo in the last few years, but her public profile has actually been on the rise for almost a decade now.<\/p>\n<p>15 years ago, Kondo started a part-time tidying business at the age of 19 while she worked full-time at a staffing agency.<\/p>\n<p>The tidying business took off and she soon had a six-month-long waiting list for her services.<\/p>\n<p>In 2010, she won first prize in a Japanese book publisher\u2019s contest with the idea for what would become her debut book,\u00a0<i>The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing<\/i>, which was released at the end of that year.<\/p>\n<p>Its popularity spawned a Japanese\u00a0<span class=\"s1\">TV movie titled <\/span><em><span class=\"s2\">The Life-Changing, Pulsing Magic of Cleaning Up <\/span><\/em><span class=\"s2\">and a\u00a0<\/span>follow-up book titled <em>Spark Joy<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Having achieved major success and fame in Japan, Australia, and Europe, Kondo turned her attention to America.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Kondo\u2019s success in America wasn\u2019t immediate<\/h3>\n<p>When\u00a0<i>The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up\u00a0<\/i>was released in the U.S. in 2014, it wasn\u2019t an immediate hit.<\/p>\n<p>Because Kondo didn\u2019t have much of a profile yet on this continent and her English was limited, promotional opportunities were somewhat difficult to come by.<\/p>\n<p>All of that changed when a <em>New York Times<\/em> reporter wrote about the book and Kondo\u2019s organizing methods.<\/p>\n<p>Sales took off and as of this writing, it has spent 149 weeks on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/books\/best-sellers\/\"><em>The New York Times Bestsellers<\/em> list<\/a>\u00a0and sold over 9 million copies.<\/p>\n<p>Kondo made regular appearances on TV, the view counts on her instructional YouTube videos skyrocketed, and she became a pop culture darling (including shout-outs on TV shows\u00a0<em>The Mindy Project<\/em> and the <em>Gilmore Girls<\/em> revival).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1078 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up.jpg\" alt=\"The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/life-changing-magic-of-tidying-up-100x100.jpg 100w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/640;\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>4. Shintoism influenced her tidying methods<\/h3>\n<p>Having enjoyed her numerous visits to <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Shinto\">Shinto<\/a> shrines as a youngster, Kondo eventually worked at a shrine for a period as an attendant maiden.<\/p>\n<p>She connected with the Japanese religion\u2019s teachings of treating objects with respect and how tidiness and order can create a sacred, calming space filled with pure energy.<\/p>\n<p>Although she doesn\u2019t identify as particularly religious, Kondo does say that Shintoism has given her a lot of inspiration and had a big influence on her organizing methods.<\/p>\n<p>For example, she likes to take into consideration how a piece of clothing might like to be folded.<\/p>\n<p>And when discarding a piece of clothing such as a dress whose colour doesn\u2019t spark joy for you, she thinks you should thank it for its service. Why? Because it was a helpful example of what wardrobe colour to avoid in the future.<\/p>\n<h3>5. She\u2019s had a lifelong obsession with tidying<\/h3>\n<p>Okay, this Marie Kondo fact admittedly won\u2019t be a complete shock\u00a0 to you \u2013 she\u2019s been extremely organized her entire life.<\/p>\n<p>Even as a little girl, Kondo was obsessed with staying tidy and eager for any organization-related information she could get her hands on. One of her earliest organization resources were her mother\u2019s homemaking magazines.<\/p>\n<p>The national library of Japan, which requires you to be at least 18 to enter, contained a wealth of organization and decluttering books and resources. You can guess where Kondo spent her 18th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>While studying sociology at T<span class=\"s1\">okyo Woman\u2019s Christian University the following year, Kondo wrote her thesis, \u201cHow to Declutter Your Apartment \u2014 From a Sociological Perspective\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">During her schooling,\u00a0<\/span>friends started offering to pay her to tidy their rooms and homes, which was what lead to Kondo creating that first tidying business.<\/p>\n<h3>6. The KonMari Method isn\u2019t strictly about minimalism<\/h3>\n<p>Kondo\u2019s tidying philosophy tends to get labelled as \u201cminimalism\u201d, which isn\u2019t necessarily accurate. It\u2019s more like \u201cminimalism-adjacent\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>While downsizing and less consumption are core foundations of the KonMari Method, Kondo isn\u2019t opposed to keeping things around if they do meaningfully benefit you (aka \u201cspark joy\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>Sentimentality (and the strong emotional attachments people can make with their possessions, thereby making things harder to part with) tends to be one of the banes of professional organizers.<\/p>\n<p>For Kondo, however, it\u2019s not necessarily a deal-breaker when you\u2019re deciding what to keep and what to discard.<\/p>\n<p>If something with a sentimental pull truly makes you happy, Kondo sees no reason to get rid of it (she encourages it, in fact). This is all in moderation, of course.<\/p>\n<p>She even admits to having a soft spot for a couple of items she holds onto: a free t-shirt she got years ago at an expo and a stuffed seal Kondo\u2019s dad gave to her.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Marie Kondo: Basic Folding Method\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Lpc5_1896ro?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>7. Her methods have ruffled a few feathers<\/h3>\n<p>Needless to say, Kondo\u2019s meteoric rise has lead to some naysayers and critics of her non-traditional organizing methods.<\/p>\n<p>They argue that her Eastern philosophies and hardline approach to decluttering (which one writer called \u201c<span class=\"s1\">as ruthless as it is unrealistic\u201d) aren\u2019t suited to the Western world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>On a shallower level, Kondo\u2019s delivery style also rubs some people the wrong way for being overly cute, such as her signature raised index finger \u201cspark joy pose\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Kondo takes the criticism in stride. As she told <em>The New York Times Magazine<\/em> after <em>The\u00a0Rachael Ray Show\u2019<\/em>s in-house organizer criticized some of her tidying methods on-air:<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<span class=\"s1\">I think his method is pretty great, too.\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s1\">I think it\u2019s good to have different types of organizing methods because my method might not spark joy with some people, but his method might.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>8. She always wears something white<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been following Kondo for awhile, you may have noticed that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/news\/marie-kondo-wardrobe-white-clothing\">she always seems to be wearing something white<\/a>. We mean, like,\u00a0<em>always<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a calculated choice as part of her brand and image, as she told <em>The New Yorker<\/em>. It makes sense. After all, what colour conveys a sense of being clean and tidy more than white?<\/p>\n<p>You may also wonder why Kondo almost never wears pants in any of her videos or during any of her promotional appearances.<\/p>\n<p>The reason is simple: several years ago, she stopped wearing them because pants no longer brought joy for her. You can\u2019t argue that she\u2019s not practicing what she preaches!<\/p>\n<h3>9. 5 things that \u201cspark joy\u201d for Kondo<\/h3>\n<p>So what sparks joy for Kondo? She\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.konmari.com\/marie-kondos-favorite-things-fall-2018\/\">recently revealed on her blog<\/a> five things that are sparking joy for her these days:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>crystals kept on her nightstand \u201cfor their purification properties as well as their exquisite beauty\u201d<\/li>\n<li>separate notebooks to jot down her ideas, dreams, and problem solving ideas<\/li>\n<li>rose water (for its\u00a0anti-inflammatory properties and scent)<\/li>\n<li>cozy socks<\/li>\n<li>an antique box she\u2019s had for years where she keeps her makeup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Tidy up and live with less clutter<\/h3>\n<p>Kondo and her tidying methods may not be for everyone. We do think it\u2019s exciting, however, to see so much attention and awareness focussed right now on the value and importance of living with less clutter.<\/p>\n<p>If Marie Kondo mania has gotten you inspired to tidy up and you\u2019re looking for more traditional organization solutions for your home, Organized Interiors can help.<\/p>\n<p>Schedule a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/consultation\/\">free in-home design consultation<\/a> with us to make plans for getting your household clutter under control.<\/p>\n<p><em>Please share this post if you found it useful.<\/em><\/p>\n<h4>See also:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/get-joy-tidying\/\">How To Get Joy From Tidying Up<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/increase-clothes-drawer-storage-50\/\">How To Increase Your Clothes Drawer Storage By Up To 50%<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.organizedinteriors.com\/blog\/cluttered-home-causes-stress\/\">Why A Cluttered Home Causes You Stress &amp; What You Can Do About It<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Tidying expert Marie Kondo is seemingly everywhere these days.
