Synopsis
Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers
still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of
noodles?
Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a
whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home
once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or
little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff
forever. The Konmari Method, with its revolutionary category-by-category
system, leads to lasting results. In fact, none of Kondo's clients have lapsed
(and she still has a three-month waiting list).
With detailed guidance for determining which items in your
house "spark joy" (and which don't), this international best seller
featuring Tokyo's newest lifestyle phenomenon will help you clear your clutter
and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home - and the calm, motivated mindset it
can inspire.
REVIEW BOOK PART 1
So this book is about how to clean up your house that will
undoubtedly change your life forever. Impossible? Yes, surely everyone will
think like that, but if you read this book until it is finished, you will not
be lazy to fix your house. You can read the review I made from the book "The
Life Changing of Tidying Up" which will definitely be very useful for you.
CHAPTER 1 “Why can’t I keep my house in order?”
First, you can tidy if you’re never learned how.
Second, better tidying at once than a little bit. Many
people who say that whatever we are cleaning up will definitely be messy right?
According to general assumptions, because messy habits are deeply embedded in
our subconscious. Tidying up thoroughly is not only useless but it is also
dangerous because it can make us lazy. But don't be fooled. Once we move the
furniture and get rid of the garbage, our room changes. Yep, it's really that
simple. As long as you fix your house properly, you can continue to maintain
neatness even if you are lazy or careless
Third, Tidy a little day and you’ll be tidying forever.
"If you tidy up the house at once you will return to
the messy habit. It is better to clean up a little bit." we often hear the
sentence and it may sound very tempting, but this sentence has proven wrong,
why? Tidying up the house seems never to be finished precisely because we just
clean up a little. So I have the most important tips for you, you can get rid
all items that are not needed, and believe your room will be wider and the air
becomes fresher so that our minds become clearer.
Fourth, Storage experts are hoarders.
Many people choose to store their belongings because it
makes it easy to clean up, yes it is an easy way but actually saving it does
not mean wrong but trapping. We often think after fixing why it's still a mess
even though the book has been put on the bookshelf, we put the clothes in the
wardrobe. Why? The answer is because we don't need most of the items stored in
it. Therefore, fixing must begin by first determining what items we really want
and need to be stored and then after that we can get rid of them
Fifth, Sort by category, not by location. Many people often
store the same items in more than one place and make us repeat the same work in
many places and continually clean up endlessly. To avoid this, it is advisable
to move according to the category. Suppose we set the goal "today I will
arrange the book, tomorrow the clothes." So if we store certain types of
items separately and spread out, we will not realize how much goods we have and
will not be completely cleaned up
Sixth, Make tidying a special event, not a daily core.
There is one pearl of wisdom "Repairing is a special
activity. Don't do it every day." haha actually in this book there are two
types of clean up that is, tidying up daily and cleaning up specifically. Daily
cleaning is returning things to their place and being a part of our lives as
long as we are still wearing clothes, books, stationery and so on. While
cleaning up specifically is tidying up the house as soon as possible. Believe
if you do not complete the task of tidying up the house as a whole, then the
effort to clean up every day will lead to failure. On the contrary, if you tidy
up the house in total, then you just clean up by returning the item and putting
it in its original place, as easy as that. "Clean lifestyle gives us
joy"
So, this is my review, hope u enjoy it. I'm sorry if there any mistake. Thank you
