How to Make the Most of Your Tidying Session

These suggestions are all optional, and they can make our work together easier and more efficient.

Your Items, by Category

One of the things that makes the KonMari MethodTM so different is organizing by category, not by location. This approach saves time, because we only need to sort things once. It’s also much easier to decide what you want to keep when you can see everything you have right in front of you, instead of trying to remember what’s in the upstairs bathroom under the sink.

As my first client said, “It’s all about the categories.”

Discarding

Tidying your home is about choosing what you want to keep, but you are likely to find some things that you no longer want or need along the way. Where do those items go? This is a very personal question. It can be comforting to know that your surplus items can go on to someone who does need them.
