Marie Kondo developed the method of organization that is known as the KonMari Method™. It’s a practice of simplification and begins by gathering all of one’s belongings, one category at a time. By focusing on categories rather than locations, the KonMari Method™ helps you avoid tidying the same items repeatedly. The process begins with clothing, then moves on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. It advocates keeping only those things that speak to your heart and discarding items that no longer spark joy. Discarded items are thanked for their service and then let go with a grateful heart.  The method places emphasis on keeping only those items you cherish and that spark joy.
