I have read her book and it is truly transformative. She's such a delightful nut. Whereas her method is about what to _keep,_ the key question being: "Does this give me joy?", other books and "gurus" are all about nifty storage systems and idiot ideas like "Every time you bring a new piece of clothing into your closet you have to throw one away." Oh how wise...
In her book, does it talk about getting motivated to cleaning/tidying? I love cleaning and being organized, but it takes me forever to get myself to that mindset of lets do it. I sit on it for a while before I do anything. Sometimes I sit on it all day and end up deciding tomorrow lol.
@@lifewithstaph so do I.. what I do is to break the task into smaller sections. Let's say for a drawer with three racks, I commit to tidying up just the top rack first. After that, if I still have the _willpower_ I'll continue with the 2nd rack, but if not, I set up a reminder on my phone to do it later.. I also made a to-do list (GTD) of all the clutters that need to be purged when I have the time, just to keep things on track and out of my head..
For voiced over's lifeless energy, I think most English natives underestimate the power of sub-titles. We non-English speaking are so familiar with subtitles because we can feel real emotion from the original language. We find voice over can't convey the real meaning and real emotions. We don't mind reading CC. But all English-speaking programs always use the dubbed voice over which is too bad because it kills all authenticity and genuine.
Lol both the dubbing and the interviewer sound like nothing sparks joy in their lives. I don't know if it's a britishism but it made this difficult to watch
Marie is so thoughtful and caring with everything. I feel like I'm too sentimental but she makes me feel like I can let go of a lot of those little trinkets and tchotchkes I have collected.
I so feel what you're saying. I love that she teaches us to let go lovingly, because the things we keep, we end up enjoying and treasuring even more ❤️
@@firstlylasty8687 same. Its so much more Zen than the usual furious purge of "i don't need this! Why the hell do I have this? Whatever!". She emphasizes to let things go in a calm, thankful and mindful manner, which i think later on when you pick something up you'll have that mentality too.
The point behind Marie's method and what everyone should be able to take away even if they're not familiar with Japanese culture and language, is that you only need to keep things that actually matter to you and improve your life. And having only the things that improve your life around you makes you happier. That's why even mundane objects "spark joy." You "get to know" every belonging you have so you can actually decide whether it' worth keeping, and get rid of everything else. The other side effect is that if you only have objects around you that you know about and have decided that you care about, you're more likely to be put them back where they belong. This is a concept rooted in psychology and can also be useful for people undergoing many different psychological therapies, especially for depression which makes it very difficult to keep your personal space organized. And it's also related to the key points of minimalism. But yeah, also keep in mind that Japanese culture can be very different than American culture so a lot of the elements of how she approaches this topic may seem unusual to American audiences.
However, I don't get how this concept applies to organizing your desk. Most items on my work desk don't "spark joy". More like drive home anxiety, lol. I can't just throw them away!
If you're working a job where everything in your physical environment for 8 hours a day gives you anxiety, then you probably need a different job my friend.
marieskee, things on my desk spark joy because I spend 10 hrs or so everyday working at my desk so I choose stationary, electronic devices and storage that spark joy. I buy light blue and pink pen because I love the ink color that feels girly. My scissors are colorful and well-designed. Even my account book is colorful so I can sit down and record my expenses daily with joy. YOU NEED TO DO THAT!
Great synopsis. I think I've been forced into this thinking by virtue of the fact we are a family of 5 in a tiny two bedroom condo. 😂 Everything has to be minimal and have a clearly defined purpose and space. We teach the kids to get rid of their stuff that no longer produces creativity, education or fun. We give it to Goodwill, other charities or ask a friend if they want it. They delight in giving that item "new life" with someone else. I think it makes them ok with the idea of change and growth in themselves too. I have one weak spot though... Craft materials. Dang. They all have so many possibilities, it's hard for me to get rid of any. I have also given away many things that we ended up needing...
Very well said. It is important that in Western "civilized" culture that we understand the differences between weighing down and complementing productive energy. Everything affects us compoundingly from the colour on our walls, struggling to "find everyday things", eating away time and your attention that can be better spent actually living and doing things you love and with whom you love. I found that growing my mom plants that I actually hate was my clutter, I felt bad for composting a living plant that no one wanted, but that was it. I am not allowing my flow to be impeded. I truly do not understand how or why people allow their lives to be so much more stressful when simple everyday habits can alleviate that clutter in the first place. Mental check lists are a habit I got in to years ago. Just some people do not have these life skills and understand that yes, it all is connected to the emotional and intellectual wiring. You are one complete person, heal the whole issue, not bandaid it with a fad or catch phrase as you mentioned.
I was a messy person all my life, and by messy I mean that I would have no problem with having everything lying on the ground everyhwhere. I always wanted to be neat and tidy but failed over and over, no matter how much commitment I put into cleaning up, it would take me 2 hours to get my room back to the old chaos. It's been 2 months now and my room looks like a catalogue-Marie has totally changed my life. Even as foreboded in her book, I lost some wait without extra training, it's pure magic.
It's so common for clutter clearing helps losing weight. Clutter in your life is a symptom of clutter in your mind and inner self. When you put all effort to declutter and get rid of the mess it's a form of getting rid of your spiritual clutter too. When your mind and soul are clear you will shed the weight as a process of better life, better mind and better soul.
Step 1: Decide what you want from your space Step 2: Divide your items into groups Step 3: Decide what sparks joy Step 4: Thank and Disregard Step 5: Put items back in order
Saw Marie Kondo on the 'Today Show' this morning, what an inspiration; to not only organize our things, but to treat our space and things we own with respect and love. It really wants me to go and enjoy what I have purchased. Time to tidy my desk! Cheers!!
+Candace Murray I know!! I am treating my things with more respect (even though I wasn't horrible to them before)... After learning Marie Kondo's perspective, I put things back in their 'homes' when finished with them, and I even couldn't bare to leave dirty clothes wadded up on the floor of the bathroom today. I unwadded them neatly and placed them in the laundry basket. At work, I can't just leave my pens and pencils all over, but rather, I feel sad for them if I don't put them back into the mug on my desk, where they 'live'.
It doesn’t come to our minds often but staying organized and clean is so important. I live in a clutter and it’s so hard 😭 I’m working on throwing away things that I really don’t need. Seeing everything when it’s tidy really boosts your happiness.
Bronwen Jones Perhaps you're right, but there is a difference between a translator and an interpreter. The latter has a much more difficult job to do, they need to be extremely focused and this sometimes shows in the 'robotic' or 'detached' tone of their voice. They might even be interested, but the stress takes its toll on them
Kondo thanks the items because it stems from the Shinto belief that even "things" have some sort of spirit, and you're thanking the spirit for their service before discarding it.
Read her book! Honestly even if you don't read fast you will get thru her book quickly. Rather than telling you to discard your shit she takes her time to let you see where her own failures can help you. She tells you to thank each and every item when you discard it either for donation or to dispose of and the reason you should be thankful to everything you own by actually giving it the proper respect the item deserves. I was inspired by her to do just what she asked. Tomorrow I start cleaning me room, I was really touched by her. I'll make sure to properly thank my items from now on.
I sort of agree with you, but obsessive compulsive disorder has a negative reputation. I do not see her organizing as anything negative. She does all of this to help people organize (And make a good living), she is very good at what she does and she is a sweet lady. I like her very much.
I can't believe this cute Lil woman came and changed the whole tidying game and seriously has changed so many Lives!!! Emotionally physically and spiritually!. You don't realize how much weight you have until you get rid of things you don't need or don't use. I feel like we get into the habit of accumulating things over time and don't really let go of stuff. what is really helpful is to pick up something now we go shopping and it has to give us joy for us to buy it. ☺️🙏
Most people on this planet (well, all people except monks from different religions and a minority of the rest) see their stuff as an "extended self"... and this is why we can slip into an extreme hoarding behavior at any moment. Her way to thank objects is very educational and therapeutic for people... it allows them to say goodbye to this "part of ourselves" and start on a new journey.
I agree that I pass my excess possessions on in the hope that someone else who will find them more useful next. I think 'thanking' the object is a way of being grateful that we had those objects in the past and explicitly saying farewell to them as we pass them on. It's just a nice way to be grateful and put an end to a relationship.
I don't anthropomorphize or engage in magical thinking, but I did find that physically touching the clothes plus her "spark joy" criteria were sufficient for me to let go of things I was otherwise needlessly hanging on to (e.g. I'll wear this out before I get rid of it so it's not a waste).
I hope all these discard items are getting donated instead of going in that trash can. Books and misc items should not just be tossed away. Reduce and reuse
Just finished organizing my bathroom and I was literally shocked! I always try to keep everything clean & tidy, but I didn't expect that I have that many things I don't need anymore. Thanks a lot!
I thought the same thing. I hate that so many people have posted videos of themselves doing the KonMari method and have LITERALLY thrown dozens of bags of perfectly good things in the rubbish rather than donate and recycle. I finished reading her first book and I WISH that she put emphasis on donating/recycling. She barely speaks about it and she encourages people to throw away a huge volume of things. 😥
@@amy-louisesnelling379 In Japan they have recycle bin for everything. Maybe she didn't think that in other countries are trash cans that can contain everything
Marie Kondo 's method is basically throwing away unnecessary stuff and she is right with it. If you have too much your house is untidy in a matter of seconds. But "keep what brings you joy" is hard when it comes to your job and sometimes with papers you are just not sure whether they are too important to throw away.
It's like 5S which is a workplace organization method that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seisō, seiketsu, and shitsuke. These have been translated as "Sort", "Set In order", "Shine", "Standardize" and "Sustain".
This works because there 8s a positive and kind approach to letting things go. It's not depreciation : it's "freedom from". Everyone who had experience in simplifying their lives and experiencing the joy of the space and time it allows know exactly what that means😊😊❤️❤️
Thank you for showing us how to tidy up our desks... Everything here sparks JOY for me right now... Just got to put some items in order... What is way more challenging is going through boxes and boxes of old papers that I used to file! Any tips? For now, I am scanning what I want to keep on the cloud... And then I will burn the paper organically! ; ) xoxox
I think you have to be convinced to do this method, and the presenter feels off like if this method is technical and not emotional. Marie acts and talks very kindly, and give time to every process.
They always do the the thanking half-assed. Its a mindfulness exercise you need to really focus on the things you're letting go and why you're letting them go so you wont accumulate the same clutter, make the same mistakes in life and not feel regret later that you might have thrown away something you shouldnt. And the more you do it, the faster and easier and more reflexively you do it when you buy or throw away. This life exercise ultimately leads to you *not* texting your ex at 2am.
I'm for dubbing! Subtitles take space in the video and watching what they do is more important than perceiving all the nuances of Marie's language and accent.
Enjoyed the way she reorganised the office desk but the video became boring with the voice dubover, i never ever watch shows with dubovers, i always watch them i their original language, its just so much more interesting and powerful
Wow, where are you based? Your building from the inside looks very similar to the 1750's building I used to work in - it even has a similar view! (I know it's not the same number though, it's got the view No.44 might have) are you in Portland Place as it approaches the corner with Weymouth Street?

Iga Nakke There’s usually options to get things subbed or dubbed.
Agreeeeee!
Lol both the dubbing and the interviewer sound like nothing sparks joy in their lives. I don't know if it's a britishism but it made this difficult to watch

Haha!! Right!
Just be thankful you have a job, stop nonsense gibberish. You can always quit.
Best laugh I've had in a week. Thank you :)
Why translate in the first place, when we have this magical thing called "subtitles"
For those who can't read? Eg are blind
Old Account why about the deaf or hearing impaired?
Having subtitles would have been a lot better, as I like the way Ms Kondo expresses herself in Japanese, また今度‼
Brenda White the voice over isn’t live, she obviously had an offscreen translator, for whatever reason. they can do both, but chose not to
They should do both so more people can know what's being said

that's why I always wish they use subtitles in these types of videos :/ the people dubbing over in English never sound quite right
They need lida
They could've just add sub
she's a translator for god's sake, not a voice actor...be happy that they at least got a woman and not a man for the translating..
I'd love to have Marie Kondo help me in person, too...
You are so lucky!

Diorene T The idea is that you really only have to do it once, and after you do the big cleaning you don’t really have to do it again. ☺️
@@emmadowney7210 i think what she means is Marie going to different kinds of shows/programs she's invited to and tidying up.

I hope all these discard items are getting donated instead of going in that trash can. Books and misc items should not just be tossed away. Reduce and reuse
Exactly what I was thinking. I hate wasting perfectly good stuff.

I think you have to be convinced to do this method, and the presenter feels off like if this method is technical and not emotional. Marie acts and talks very kindly, and give time to every process.
I like everyone in this video it is inspiring
I love the. Thank you
Iam reading the book and trying it out i like it
i so love tyding especially this method that i helped all my family do it haha
They always do the the thanking half-assed. Its a mindfulness exercise you need to really focus on the things you're letting go and why you're letting them go so you wont accumulate the same clutter, make the same mistakes in life and not feel regret later that you might have thrown away something you shouldnt. And the more you do it, the faster and easier and more reflexively you do it when you buy or throw away.
This life exercise ultimately leads to you *not* texting your ex at 2am.
I'm for dubbing! Subtitles take space in the video and watching what they do is more important than perceiving all the nuances of Marie's language and accent.
It's was great video!!!
Gr8 tips 👌 😍 ❤️
how do we keep things tidy after we take stuff out from the good organized pile to keep it standing vertical? or keep from it knocking down?
I love how the other people in the office just don't give a fuck. LOL!!!
Thanks you save my life
Enjoyed the way she reorganised the office desk but the video became boring with the voice dubover, i never ever watch shows with dubovers, i always watch them i their original language, its just so much more interesting and powerful
Marie kondo looks like out of planet Earth, is she too kind n innocent or different , can't figure out 🤔
She's a Japanese character. Could be part of marketing. Could be her... an inspiration to be kind, innocent, different.
@@cathhl2440 exactly! No hate at all because I love her, but it's definitely a character she does, or an exaggeration of herself.
She's so pretty
She has agrateful heart. Thanking things that hve served us is a concept weare not familiar with
Hola! Es posible que se traduzcan estos vídeos al español? Muchas gracias!
I'd love to see the a title list of those books she was tossing! They looked great!
Why does shit like this make me cry omg ive suffered so much and she saved my life.
She is so darn cute!
Wow, where are you based? Your building from the inside looks very similar to the 1750's building I used to work in - it even has a similar view! (I know it's not the same number though, it's got the view No.44 might have) are you in Portland Place as it approaches the corner with Weymouth Street?
Spark joy on the office desk?
Nice dream...
Marie kondo looks so peacefull and the other person havent brushed her hair 😂
Isn't she gorgeous. . :)
i dont even have a desk but i really want one
I did the same in all my life without Marie Kondo! :))))
The Japanese are thankful people! 🙏🏻
And the Chinese are never thankful. True story and I'm Chinese =D
Me with my homework and my pile of papers ( i work from home)
Does this spark joy?
Me- No, lets bin it all!
My boss- you fired, lol
Marie is so sweet 😘
What if it doesn’t spark joy but I still need the item ?
