Desk Organization using the Konmari Method

I recently read Marie Kondo's new book Joy at Work: Organizing Your Professional Life. A lot of us are working from home right now, and using our home office spaces for more than what they were initially intended for. I've worked from home for a few years now, and have always struggled to maintain a clutter free desk. After reading Marie Kondo's book, I felt read to fully dive in and declutter page by page. We will declutter books, papers, and kimono. I don't have much sentimental stuff in my desk, so that was not included. I'm so proud of how this turned out, and feel so much better and more productive in my new decluttered desk. I hope you enjoy this video and learn something about the Konmari decluttering method.

Where'd you get the headband??

[@IamJustOlena]

Made it! They are launching in a few weeks!!!! 🥰😊💕

[@elliebond6807]

@@IamJustOlena I don't know why you need any makeup at all. Why do you feel the need to wear a mask? Why are you unhappy with yourself? Why do you not have any confidence? People that wear makeup are really unhappy and don't have any confidence. If you stopped wearing makeup then you wouldn't have any clutter anywhere. Also self help books are worthless. Who cares what other people says? Do what you want to do. Don't follow a useless self help guide.

[@izza5163]

@@elliebond6807 just because a person wears make up doesn't mean they don't like the way they look. maybe they want to feel more beautiful, and wanting to feel more beautiful doesn't mean you don't like how you look already. and reading self help books help you get new ideas that you might have not thought of before. maybe it isn't your thing, but it can help other people a lot.

[@kirbyjnae4528]

Did anybody else's jaw drop when she move back the curtain for her makeup!?!... I like your headband!

How the heck does she have sooo many makeup my jaw literally dropped when she pulled back the curtain 😮😯😲

[@anteajo2523]

KZbinrs get free stuff from brands like sponsorships ... so obviously if she got something free she would keep it

You can give the extra stationary to your sisters so they dont have to go school supplies shopping this year.

Your declutter/organize/cleaning videos are my FAVORITE!! Not only are do they always have great tips/tricks but they’re so relaxing to watch!

[@evasucharova5936]

Nice video. Only one thing - it is "komono" not "kimono" (kimono means traditional japanese clothes, komono are those gadgets you stated).

[@sarahingunma]

Yes! I was quite distracted by this and was wondering if other people had noticed.

[@xVaNe554x]

I cringed when I read "Kimono" lol

[@NatalieGrace99]

Was looking for this comment 😋😋😋

I now watched enough KZbin desk tours to experience serious desk envy. I think my next desk is going to be a massive white desk with plenty of room for acrylic pen organizers.

[@crystalite2909]

Same here, at first I rushed up and bought a not so small but not so bid desk with drawers and I regret not waiting 4 a week until they restock white ones😭😭. But the quality is so good I don't think I can get a new one soon

I had a horrible mess on my coffee table. Thanks to you it looks much better and I’m motivated to keep going!

[@taru_3247]

No shame collecting what ever brings you joy.... But these crazy make up collections just horryfies me. Im just thinking how much of it has expired and people still put in in their face.

[@mainlyeren947]

My makeup has its own desk and what I do since I clean it every month and don’t know how much has expired I just label the month I bought it and that way when I go through it I know how long it has been opened and it’s so much more safer, and easier.

[@caitlineffend1290]

I agree! There’s no way you can wear all that make up

[@purpl3lina]

I have no makeup cuz I just threw out mine cuz it expired. Didn’t have much anyway

[@sopgranel]

i know right! and think about how much money all of that costed, probably to be barely used

[@anteajo2523]

Do you know that they get free stuff from brands to try and and every makeup artist or youtube makeup guru has this much makeup maybe coz they do makeup on other ppl and it's ansanitary do use same stuff

[@vidaphotography4073]

EXACTLY what I needed. I appreciate it being so practical and not just an aesthetic way to display highlighters and post-it notes lol

[@life.with_kaitlynn]

I used to have six drawers on my previous desk, but that changed three years ago almost. Now I only have two. I’m so glad I found this because I have been struggling with organization for my desk for a very long time now.

It is really nice you decided to declutter your office-make up room. Slowly slowly things will be done and you will love the result. 😍 Stay calm and healthy.

[@parnikajain3151]

I’m thinking about getting a mini bookshelf from amazon to showcase my taekwondo trophies and couple dance trophies. I have those on a ledge shelf on top of my desk. It seems crowded at this point. But in between and after my online internship hours, whenever I have time, I will change and reorganize and declutter parts and sections of my room.

[@necoleonline]

Look at all that makeup! I loved how you cleared the space. It looks so good.

If there is something I want to do I put that thing (one thing) in a highly visible area near a place I sit often to relax . I'm more likely to use it. If i were you I would pick the book you are most interested in and place it near your favorite chair or by the bed (wherever you are most likely to read). Make sure it stands out and doesn't blend into lamps or other decor. You basically want it to stare you in the face and make you feel guilt over not picking it up. :)
