The KonMari Method

The KonMari method is a simple but effective way to declutter your home. It's based on the idea that you should only keep things that spark joy in your life. To declutter using the KonMari method, follow these steps:

Sort your belongings into categories: Clothing, books, papers, sentimental items, and miscellaneous.
Go through each category one at a time, and hold each item in your hands. If it sparks joy, keep it. If it doesn't, discard it.
Be ruthless. If you're not sure if something sparks joy, it's probably best to get rid of it.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're struggling to declutter on your own, ask a friend or family member for help.
