Decluttering Guru Marie Kondo Is Back With More Tips

By  |  0 Comments

Just in time for 2016’s spring cleaning before the Lunar New Year arrives, Marie Kondo’s new book offers detailed suggestions for how to clear your home of most items that do not ‘spark joy’ while living with the mundane necessities.

Marie Kondo’s unique KonMari Method of tidying up is nothing short of life-changing—and her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, has become a worldwide sensation. In Spark Joy, Kondo presents an in-depth, illustrated manual on how to declutter and organise specific items throughout the house, from kitchen and bathroom items to work-related papers and hobby collections. User-friendly line drawings illustrate Kondo’s patented folding method as it applies to shirts, pants, socks, and jackets, as well as images of properly organised drawers, closets, and cabinets.

Marie Kondo is a celebrity in Japan and her four books in Japanese have sold a total of 2.2 million copies. Her surname has become a verb — “I just kondoed my closet” — and when Time magazine named Kondo one of the 100 most influential people of 2015, actress Jamie Lee Curtis calls her a ‘modern-day’ Marie Poppins.
