Here's everything you need to know about Marie Kondo's KonMari process so you can Tidy Up your whole house. Learn how to start with a vision of the completed job, how to learn what sparks joy, how to fold clothes, how to handle books and papers, organize the kitchen and bathroom, deal with your sentimental items, and make sure you don't backslide when you're done.
I spent most of 2016 organizing my house - and in many ways, my life - by the principles in the book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and I've been continuing the journey ever since. It's been a fascinating process and one I wouldn't have anticipated when I impulsively clicked "Buy Now" so long ago.
Reading the book and implementing the KonMari method of organization really did change my life in both small ways and really big ways. I started looking at everything in my life and asking what "sparked joy" and made many changes in how my home was laid out and how I spent my time.

I think you rebound because you didn't follow her method 100%. When you do, you will never rebound. You're family will slowly begin to follow this wonderful routine. Good luck!

Hi,
Just found your blog tonight and I was wondering did you ever post about your downstairs livingroom
going from ok to "makes my heart sing?" Just curious what you chose to do with that room. Look forward
to reading more on your blog.
