What a time to get organized! Everyone is jumping on the Japanese cleaning guru Marie Kondo declutter craze. She is transforming lives everywhere with her unique outlook on tidying up.
Marie was a hit first with her Magic of Tidying Up manual and then with her Tidying Up Netflix series.
Here are a few tips Marie Kondo style to get you started on your spring cleaning along with some products to get better organized with while on your cleaning journey:
1. Make sure everything has its own place.
Organize your most frequented areas of your home and label bins and baskets to hold everyday items.
2. Get rid of papers
Most papers are available digitally now. So get rid of old bills and old warranties laying around.
3. Don’t pile things
Kondu teaches to store things vertically in drawers and closet shelves. This works well for bath towels, tea towels, tee shirts, and more. You can see everything at a glance using this method. Doing this also makes finding kids clothes to wear a dream come true.
4. Only keep items that bring you joy
Kondu encourages you to only keep belongings that “spark joy.” If you pick up an item and ask that question, you will know the answer immediately.
5. Keep small change in your wallet
When you find loose change around the house, don’t put it in a piggy bank never to be used, slide it in your wallet and spend it.
