Who is Marie Kondo?

Marie Kondo is a Japanese author, entrepreneur, and organizing consultant best known for developing the KonMari Method — a unique approach to decluttering and organizing that emphasizes surrounding oneself only with items that "spark joy." Her book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, became an international bestseller, translated into over 40 languages and inspiring millions to rethink their relationship with their possessions.

What is the KonMari Method?

The KonMari Method is a step-by-step process of tidying that focuses on category-based sorting (clothes, books, papers, komono/miscellaneous, and sentimental items), touching each item to determine if it sparks joy, and storing belongings in a way that brings satisfaction and peace. Unlike traditional cleaning methods, it’s deeply personal and spiritual, encouraging people to reflect on what truly matters in their lives.

Why does Marie Kondo still matter today?

In a world increasingly burdened by consumerism and digital overwhelm, Kondo’s message of intentional living resonates more than ever. Her philosophy encourages mindfulness, gratitude, and simplicity — values that are timeless, especially in turbulent times. Many people return to her teachings during life transitions, seeking clarity and calm through the act of tidying.

What are some lesser-known aspects of her work?

Beyond folding techniques and tidy drawers, Kondo also emphasizes the importance of gratitude — even for objects being discarded. She encourages thanking items before letting them go, a practice rooted in Shinto beliefs about the spirit in all things. Additionally, her follow-up book Spark Joy dives deeper into the emotional and sensory aspects of tidying, offering insight into why certain items bring us comfort or hesitation.
