Marie Kondo: The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up

Marie Kondo's first book is "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing". It was published in 2011 and has become a best-seller. Kondo shares her unique KonMari method for decluttering and organizing in the book. The technique uses the idea that you should only keep items in your home that bring you joy and let go of things that do not. The book has inspired a decluttering movement and is the perfect way to start our Japan Series.Purchase the book from Amazon https://geni.us/mariekondoBuy the book summary from Blinkist https://blinkist.o6eiov.net/oemBLEINTROMarie Kondo introduces herself, and her focusOrganize the World (2m37)WHAT IS ITABC and Marie Kondo Reveal Simple Ways To Get OrganizedSave Time And Space (4m52)HOW TO DO ITSnapreads breaks down some of the key ideas5 lessons from the book (1m58)Marie’s advice to tune your home into a place for great workCreating A Home Workspace (1m20)OUTROMarie on the TODAY show closes the show with a call to action to only surround ourselves with things that bring happinessBeing Tidy Is About 'Joy' (1m53) Thanks to our monthly supporters Mike Edwin Deitch Jamie Dorward Emily Rose Banks Malcolm Magee Natalie Ryan N.
