- Putting my outer world in order by way out tidying & organizing the Kon Mari way to help put my inner world in order. Hopefully, this is the last cleaning vlog in a while (aka I keep my space clean for longer than 2 hours after I clean it) so I can get creative explore other types and styles of videos. ✨

Rowena Tsai please do a book video! Like what’s on your shelves. That’ll be awesome.
“The Courage to be Disliked” by Ichiro Kishimi and Fumitaki Koga. I know you may not see yourself as a guru, but you have become one of my favorites. I cannot wait to read your first book.
something i’ve learned with reading a lot is that it’s ok to not want to read a book anymore or dnf it, to not let it become an obligation. i also keep a list of books i want to read in my bullet journal, sorted by genre so when i’m in the mood for something new i can look for it that way. the more streamlined and less obligated it feels, the better and the more you read that’s meaningful. there’s a quote from my favorite book that says something like “it is better to know one book intimately than 100 superficially” - best of luck with your reading adventures!
Gosh you give out such a pleasant vibe, I watch one of your videos whenever I feel down! I love how realistic and practical you go about things
i feel like with decluttering my place with my mom, our relationship has improved!
could you do a video on your favorite books?
Deborah Kim Me too! I would love to see those book piles!
yesss please !! And maybe also other favourites, like youtubers, movies etc?
Yes pls
@@karladenzer4819 FAVE CZcamsRS - yass!
pls!!! 🤩
hii rowena!! i have a video request if you don’t mind, could you do a video on your notes?? i heard you saying something about notes in your story and i was intrigued..
jiya pari yes absolutely! updated my story for the time being with what I was taking notes on and how :)
Honestly, I love your cleaning vlogs because it inspires me to clean my room and it just feels sooooo good after.
Listening to your voice and watching your videos for me is like having a very calming therapy session, so thank you! And also making me feel normal that I’m not the only one who uses some of their weekends to clean and organize instead out going out!
Thank you thank you thank you for putting up a video! Your videos have helped me so much in my season of depression. You are such a wise and bright soul and your amazing advice is very much needed. Sending lots of love and appreciation🤗🤗🤗
Sending love and kisses for u darling... everything will be alright❤
OMG the mental inventory and mental tag thing is so IMPORTANT + NEEDED! xx
I’m currently re-reading The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I’ve attempted once before to tidy up using this method and ironically, I fell into a lot of pitfalls Mari Kondo talks about. I kind of gave up but I’m trying again :)
It’s so cathartic to see you tidy. 💕
I've recently cleaned up my room and house, and kept it in order for 2 weeks now and I feel amazing!!! Totally agree that organizing "your outer world puts your inner world" together as well🤗
loved seeing your little library, I lost most of my book collection in a fire in 2017 and ever since I've been kinda afraid to invest in more books. It's always refreshing to see your realistic yet positive take on getting organized 💖
Having my outer world organized also helps with my productivity and overall wellness. It just feels good to be in a space I can work and relax.
Hello doll. I'm almost 53 years old and absolutely gain so much knowledge from you. Please keep these motivational vids coming. It truly doesn't matter the age to learn something new. Have you done a video on how you bullet journal?
omg even the shots of the bathroom were making me overwhelmed too... there's SO MANY BOTTLES!!! stay strong rowena i hope u sort through all of that without too much trouble
Always love these videos from you, Rowena! It always motivates me to do my own cleaning. I feel you so much in regards to the books! I would force myself to get through a book even though it no longer interested me, which I learned worked against me in the end because then I would see reading as a chore instead of a leisure activity. Also, one thing that totally changed the game for me in terms of reading and being more mindful in consuming and consuming less is going to the library! It seriously changed my life. I used to love buying books - and subsequently most became books I never ended up reading. So now I go to the library, borrow as many books as I want, and if I really love the book, I purchase it for my own collection! That helps filter out books that I love from ones that I enjoyed reading but don't necessarily want to keep. Just thought I'd share in case anyone out there is looking for a way to save money and be more mindful of what comes into your space. Thanks for sharing this video!
I´ve been decluttering these days during the quarantine - clothes, skincare, makeup items, books, paperwork, drawings, socks, decoration, furniture .. E V E R Y T H I N G. I truly need less items in my life since I felt like suffocating. Also, thank you very much for your videos ♥ I do not only like watching them, but being inspired to move on too ^^~
the thing about reading multiple books at once is so true for me too. I always feel this pressure to finish my books, update my goodreads etc before I go onto my next book. Screw that tbh, reading should be enjoyable and if I wanna read a romance novel before sleeping because Im tired, im gonna do just that! Love the video :)
I definitely need to go through my closet this way. I have been wearing the same outfits for too long, so I either need to rediscover my closet or let go of things I'm no longer drawn to. I also need to make time to start reading again. Miss it so much :(
Same here
Can u make a video on organizing your skincare/makeup and makeup/skincare tour? Your skincare cabinet is skincare goals! It would also be great so you could recommend some more skincare products!💖
Thank you for this video, omg. I am rarely inspired by videos like these, Idk why (maybe it was the mindset/environment I was in when I watched those particular videos) but this one did. Like, I literally feel like getting up right now and going through stuff and Marie Kondoing some stuff and yeah. But it's late at night and I have college tomorrow so I am making a promise to myself that the next time I find myself with free time, that's what I am going to do. Thank you, Rowena :)
Your videos have literally changed my life. I work from home. I used to spend all day worrying how to manage home and work together. Until i came across this channel. I love your videos i watch them over and over again when i m demotivated or PMSing. I can't thank you enough girl. Lots of love
When I started reading multiple books at a time sort of depending on my mood I definitely started reading more and as a side effect finishing more books too!
I've started putting on a face or sheet mask before watching your videos, it's becoming a self care ritual in itself 🧡
your videos are always one of the highlights of my week
I can definitely recommend going to the library instead of just buying books. If you decide you don't like it, or not in the mood for reading it, you can return it and check it out again if you ever want to. This has really helped me make space in my outer spaces. GoodReads is a good app to keep track of what you liked/didn't like, what you have read, and what you want to read.
I love how your apartment is laid out like a hotel room. It gives me a such an uplifting feeling since I usually associate hotels with very memorable vacations
You are my favorite youtuber! Keep creating and inspiring everyone!!💗🤩
I got crazy over cleaning and reorganizing lately so this video was a real joy. To me it is fascinating how a simple swipe of dust can bring so much positive energy into space and make you feel so nice and renewed ..Much love to you girl :3
why is it so nice to just watch you clean
I started Konmarying my closet on Friday for the first time and while I have quite few clothes, it's nice to be able to see them all at once. Otherwise I usually end up pulling a shirt off a hanger that's in the middle-ish, which used to be black and grey print tees (which I love), but I never really got to wear the colorful items on the sides.
💛Decluttering
& tidying, cleaning is defo super soothing xx much love💛
THE QUEEN IS BACK AGAIN WITH A VLOG💞💞💞you are always so inspiring!!
Hi Ms. Rowena 😊 I really miss your videos. You're such an inspiration to me. 😍
I'm planning my day of cleaning on the first day of spring.. And maybe even start reading Marie Kondo's book that's sitting on my table.. =) Hopefully, it'll be nice and warm, with sunshine beaming through the windows..
I love you so much my sweet. I have watched to your videos since last week as I was looking for some advice to cope with the streams which are and going to appear in my life. Just like the rest who are listening and following the steps you had suggested, I have to say that they are really practical and super useful. It has been making a positive impact and change the way I think a lot. It indicates me to peace, harmony and bless away from the pressure, depression and anxiety that we accidentally has created. Anyway, I do not know why I fall into your voice, super cute.
It's 2: 28 AM in my country but still watching your videos. It's too addicting😄
You have such a calming and positive energy. Very rare on CZcams:) You always remain true to being genuine and realistic, and this makes your videos so special and enjoyable. Keep doing what you do, you inspire and help so many people:)
BTW, that mini bookstore of yours is a little corner of creativity and freedom for the mind, I love how you set it up in your apartment, with its own little dedicated space!
I love vacum and i love the last quote. Rowenaaaaa you're the bessst
This was so relaxing and cleaning up spaces can get overwhelming but you showed me you don’t have to do it in all one day. Much love 💛
Book rec: this is not a non-fiction (it's sort of a post apocalyptic sci fi novel) but: Station Eleven. It has a really good message - the main thesis of the book is: "survival is insufficient", which is a quote from Star Trek :) Basically the idea is that just surviving the difficult situation, whatever it is, is not enough: humans also need meaning, which comes through doing things we love and are passionate about, and music and art.
Love...love...loooove this video! I am going through the same organizational/declutter challenges in my life. This video was so inspiring...thank you for posting!!! God Bless!💞💞
I couldn't agree more with what you said about colors of clothes. 😊
rowena you're such a sweetie. i love your skincare stuff 😍
I’m reading Designing Your Life right now too! A friend recommended it to me because I am trying to pivot in life and don’t really know what direction to take. Great book so far!
I'd love to see all the different kinds of plants/ succulents in your apartment! I love succulents myself :)
Nice video like always, Rowena ! Was wondering if you can share some book recommendations ? I want to start reading again but dont know where to start 😅
Chucking thisvid on in the BG while I tidy and major de clutter my childhood bedroom xx
I love watching you get your shit together !!
Rowena~~~~~ I really really love these kind of videos~~ They make me happy ~~ It's like i am doing the clean up while i am watching~ And i get my energy back after watching this !!! Time to study~ Have a good one!!!
Hi Rowena!!! This video just inspired me to organize my books! Thank you!!! Happy Sunday!
Seeing you clean up makes me feel relieved and relaxed in some way lol
Saw Grit in the intro! It is my favorite nonfiction book. So good.
❤️ ur videos! Freezing in St. Paul, MN. Hope ur staying warm & as snug as bug. I’m a avid reader- cannot get enough of Psychological thrillers ! Big fan of ur videos & charming personality!💐❤️🌨
hi i noticed during ur work call you had ur journal out and i was wondering if u could do a tour of that? like not the details duh but like ive been having a hard time keeping a planner for school, a notepad to jot down random things and then another journal to rly record my thoughts and it would be so cool to see how someone keeps all of those things together in one place. i know youve done similar videos in the past but i feel like an update/a video more on organizing and just keeping all ur thoughts tidy, would be super sick
That vacuuming was super satisfying. Thinking of buying that Dyson now.
it’s legit such a game changer. a bit of a splurge but it’s often at costco/those discount websites :)
Wow how instantly relaxing
Outliers by Malcolm gladwell is definitely a good read! Please put it on ur to read list instead of in the other pile 🥺 it definitely helped me learn a lot!!
Omagosh Simon Sinek and Jordan Peterson yaasssssss
This video is so calming 😍 love you Rowena
can you do a video about the books you still have and why you got them and kept them vs the other books you got rid of ?
UHMMM need to know what jeans those are omgggg
Brittany Hansen thrifted Maje!
can you please make a video on the current books that you are reading and finding useful?
Wow I read many books at once and feel it's the only thing I dont have to moderate 👏🏻💖 I loved the little book of Lykke. Would you make a vid about your faves?
I just love decluttering videos. ✨
Aye! Princeton -> New York represent! Lol ❤️
Totally feel you on the vacuum lol! I remember when my family got a new vacuum and my siblings and I actually got excited to use it and help out
Sooooooo satisfyingggggggg

i enjoy your presentation style so very much

I was so excited for this video and it exceeded expectations 💕
Rowena, I’m a college graduate and I was just wondering what types of jobs you have done over the last few years. You made time for CZcams and grew your channel, which is why I would love to know 💕💕 thank you!!
*screen hugs!* ahhhh. i love your videos. so so so much. ♥️
Loved this! What do you do with the books you don’t want anymore? My school would love them!

Book recommendations: life after life, catching fire: how cooking made us human, the greatest stories never told
If you ever get around to the "Hygge" books, maybe comment on them? I was super excited and looking forward to them, but ended up being kind of disappointing so I would love someone else's opinion!
nat! same!! was so excited to read but put it down after the first few chapters 🙈
@@rowena oh man so glad I'm not the only one!
Me too 🙁 The hype really drew me in, but luckily I bought them both from a charity shop and I only paid £1 for each one so I don’t feel bad about giving them straight back! 😊 💐♥️
