Decluttering queen Marie Kondo

[@lamdao1242]

I have to say that ever since I've started using the KonMarie method in my wardrobe - it's been FANTASTIC. Everytime I open my wardrobe now, it's so neat and I can see everything! I can pull out the T shirt I want, the shorts I want, the scarves etc., I love it and I feel really happy! So imagine, the first thing you do every morning, sparks JOY!

I need her in my life. She is the Mary Poppins of decluttering and organizing. Much love Marie Kondo

[@laineygann7713]

Marie Kondo changed my home and my life . I'd tried other methods, but her's was the last I will ever need.

[@contessarodriguez2663]

She looks so peaceful, pretty and precious! A child of light that brings her brilliance into our homes! Also, throwing out stuff is not really what she is all about. It's rehoming, finding new homes for your possessions. She encourages giving them away than putting them in the trash.

[@amberleaf7]

Actually, Marie speaks English pretty well, and she understands quite a lot, too. Most of Americans barely speak Japanese, but it's not accurate to say that Marie barely speaks English, as of 2017 she gives full speeches in English.

[@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai]

1)!Her English is getting better (around A2 level) but it’s not there yet. She can certainly understand informal conversations but she still needs help from an interpreter for formal conversations and expressing her points more clearly. Her English speech on Ted talk is fully prepared, rehearsed, and practiced a lot of times beforehand. (And who wouldn’t practice their own speech ?) 2) Stop demonizing us Americans for not being able to speak a second language. Newsflash: A lot of Americans were able to speak a second or third language (mostly their heritage languages) during the 19th century. It was our evil government who demonized those who spoke a language other than English via forceful Anglicization policy (and the ‘speak American’ mentality) during the early 20th century, causing the loss of millions of potential bilinguals (New England French, Louisiana French, Métis French, Texas German, Midwestern German, Minnesota Scandinavian languages, New Mexico Spanish, etc.). We are repairing the damage but we are not there yet. Everything takes time. 3) Japan’s education system is among the best in the world but the Japanese are generally bad at learning and teaching foreign languages. This may sound hurtful but it’s true and not completely their fault. The fact that a Japanese person must spend 18 years in schooling before being able to read newspapers properly clearly demonstrate how difficult the Japanese language is and also why foreign languages are badly taught (students would need to pay attention more on their own language before others aka English, French, Brazilian Portuguese, etc)

I love her so much! Life changing !

[@patriciakelly69]

She’s just an amazing lovely beautiful person.

[@sylvi73]

I have been living with ADD all my life and I am just so tired of my self! I have been seen Marie for several years and I swear I try and try and I fail in a 70%. It is so complicated that I want to cry.

[@arinaz318]

Lavendaire is in the video!!!😃

[@OtakuGal01]

she's my crush

[@ArtJourneyUK]

I thought Marie’s cleaning method was called Konmari Method or Konmaring not Kondo, that’s just her surname.

[@tianawong6937]

Wait! There's a Marie Kondo smartphone app? Anyone know what it's called? Hopefully if I just put in Marie Kondo the app will pop up.

[@brendapaladino2258]

I have looked and I can't find it!

[@brendapaladino2258]

I have an iPhone and an iPad, but I’ve looked in the Apple store and don’t see the app. Maybe I don’t have the name of the app correct.

[@iji_k]

The iOS App is called “KonMari” and it has a white K on green background as logo. It is not available in all stores around the world. 😭 itunes.apple.com/us/app/id1098041470?mt=8

[@jeromepadilla8055]

Lets not forget how beautiful marie is..I love to see her place .

[@shethewriter]

The way they exoticize her in the opening is so gross

[@subinlee8127]

the fcking "oriental music" and "clothing oRiGaMi" like fskgsskalaskdjsa

[@shethewriter]

Uin Lee I know. Honestly I wasn’t even trying to look for it or anything, it just. Ugh. It was so creepy.

[@burgeulfassal1523]

hm, declutter your mind.

[@chocolatemilkshake4299]

But I already keep all my clothes in a pile on the floor

[@god563616]

I love folding clothes

[@lalakuma9]

I didn't think that a lot of Japanese people would have a problem with clutters. It seemed to me that they have an obsession with simplicity and organization, partly because their houses are also small (and nice), and it seems to be a part of their aesthetics.

[@amberleaf7]

People are different everywhere. Many Japanese are minimalists going for efficiency, but there are also many people who are messy and suffer from uncontrollable hoarding. Any country has all kind of people. After all, Marie's career began to grow in Japan, where her skills were needed.

[@rachelamiller]

Lala I

[@ashram12]

My biggest problem is that I hate wasting things, so I don't throw them away. Obviously, I've donated things and sold things. But there are some things, like half used art supplies, that I can't give away or sell. Or there are things which I know have substantial value, but I can't find a buyer for it. Those are the things I'm essentially stuck with.

[@enterprisequantum]

I wonder what happened to computer desk in 2:35. Did she remove it?

[@vansomz6137]

WHY DIDNT SOMEONE ADJUST MARIE KONDO'S HAIR BEFORE THE INTERVIEW STARTED ROLLING?! THATS THE LEAST YOU CAN DO FOR THE QUEEN OF DECLUTTERING. LIKE SERIOUSLY?!

[@paulocesarcsinfo]

I'm the reverse of it, hehehehe.

[@trba_biko]

i love folding tho wargsetdhryf taking notes!!

[@geokowalski314]

was the oriental music in the beginning even remotely necessary

[@HaruSkage]

My sentiment exactly.

[@kholishaathallak4154]

Her hands looks like dancing when she fold the clothes

[@satyawatip]

"barely speaks English" really........?

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

What difference does that make You are being told what she is saying . Learn Japanese then you will not miss a word she is saying

[@ThePerksdeLeSarcasmeSiorai]

Yeah. She can barely speak English here (that’s the truth). However, she is getting better (but not there yet).

[@komatsusakura]

I toss it to my 2nd home for things dont bring joy and i just use it till it cant be use anymore

[@diysy9431]

First world problem indeed lol

[@lark6spur]

It's amazing how suckered in folks can get. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to sort through things and give them away. This gal just figured out how to market herself and make tons of money. I'm not impressed!

[@sandraclark2922]

Most people can't get past the "but I might need it someday" mentallty, and she helps them focus on "it doesn't bring me joy" aspect. instead. Duh...most THINGS can't give you joy...unless you are extremely shallow.

[@rivkastock2684]

All is fantastic and I love her, till she adds her idol worship “spiritualality”: bowing to things? Not needed for my drawers.

[@briza2022]

I am tired of american speeches. Just say the necessary !

[@davebowker1113]

Clutter/-no But she is the extreme case Koo. koo
