Marie Kondo: Basic Folding Method

[@Ikaros23]

the method is a decluttering of the mind and soul in reality. I found your method when my life was a mess, now i have order and feel harmony and peace. thank you Marie Kondo

[@noturningbackever493]

If you need to learn how to fold clothes and be in "love" with them, you need a lot more than Ms. Kondo here to help you. Most people's dressers are NOT a mess, so her so-called "method" is nothing more than reducing the size of what you put inside it by folding it smaller. It's not rocket science.

Hey, at all the angry American house moms complaining about how crazy Marie Kondo is: She's Japanese. A lot of what she's saying is based on specific notions inherent to Japanese culture. This video is a rough translation of what she's actually saying, because American English doesn't have an actual equivalent for most of these concepts. Japanese culture on the whole values community, gratefulness, minimalism, and social harmony in a way that just doesn't make sense to most Americans. So instead of being defensive and hateful, recognize that your culture is not her culture, and that those differences aren't a bad thing. And read the damn book before you start talking about how crazy she is.

For the record, the Japanese business culture in Japan is just as bad, if not worse than our corporate culture. They're also extremely xenophobic.

I'm Watching You certainly don’t have time because you’ve put lot on your plate. I’m wondering why you chose to have so many children in your current situation. I’m surprised you have enough time to fully nurture each of your nine children unless your your family pitches in. And by pitching in I mean your parents must be the primary care givers (hopefully). Unless, of course your husband (hopefully you have one) is the primary care giver. I’d hate to hear you put them in daycare so you can pursue YOUR goals. Excuse me for stating the obvious, but unless your husband stays home to manage the household and care for the children, I have to say it seems you’ve done a poor job of family planing. Hopefully your full-time job pays for all your and your family’s expenses (or are independently wealthy), because, if not, it seems as though you may be using government programs to pay for your expenses. I know I’m making a lot of assumptions, but with a full-time job, night school and nine kids it really sounds like someone is getting shortchanged (either your children or the American tax payers). Hopefully I’m wrong on all accounts.

[@humminbirrrd]

Zehra aa I totally agree, the big win for me has been not relapsing. Since the first time I followed her methods for decluttering, folding, etc., I've not had to tidy up again because everything is always in its place. The only cleaning I do is the kind that never goes away (vacuuming, dusting, washing dishes, etc.). It's so soothing to wake up every morning and know my space is in order.

[@297banu]

The big win for me is not buying so many things in the first place. I have a weakness for books,stationary, and cosmetics but after having decluttered, I really think what I'm buying through. Do I LOVE that item, if I do, do I REALLY need it... etc. I think cleaning, especially dusting and vacuuming are easier to do in a decluttered space.

[@humminbirrrd]

Zehra aa So true! Now when I want to buy something, I put real thought into it, and more often than not I end up walking away, and don't feel the regret I thought I would. I just no longer want so much stuff.

[@humminbirrrd]

Zehra aa The thing that frustrates me is when people are like, "She's only saying what's common sense. If you need her book to get yourself organized there's something wrong with you." Well, I've never been a messy person and I've always kept my space pretty neat, but her books have helped me take it to a whole other level. I'm much more at peace now and comfortable in my own home.

[@297banu]

I live in Turkey, Istanbul. Many people including my sister had to move because of the urban ''transformation'' (more like destruction) project and it was eye opening. Because we were pressed for time we had to throw away many thiings, a lot of other things went to storage and some essential things went to their rented flat . That was my aha moment. The financial impact of the things you don't quite need, trying to store things you think you might need or miss someday is very evident when you try to pack and organise things in a very short space of time.

[@LibbyRoseEmbroidery]

+Mel I agree! I like a lot of her methods, but treating possessions as if they were alive and had feelings is a little OTT for my practical nature!!

[@twitch136661]

It's not really about talking to the fabric itself or seeing it as living. It's about expressing outward gratitude for what you have. When you learn how to appreciate your items, it helps you to appreciate a bunch of other smaller things in life that we take for granted. And when you can be grateful for everything from your kitchen pots to your cup of coffee, you can really surround yourself and even others around you with a sort of peace and happiness. You don't have to straight up talk to your clothes, it's more of an inner dialogue to yourself kind of thing.

[@LibbyRoseEmbroidery]

I understand whay you mean, but in her books she definitely talks to and about her possessions as if they were alive and had feelings. She even says so straight out in her first book.

Just started watching her on Netflix. She’s a tiny bit out there for me in philosophy, but her methods work beautifully and she’s such a sweet person. Definitely inspiring.

FINALLY HOW TO CLEAN YOUR ROOM WITHOUT GETTING STRESSED

[@vlogaminute7562]

Oh I LOVE Marie’s methods! I tried it with my clothes this week and I’m so happy. My wife and I have been following the show on Netflix too.

[@roxanne_george]

When I read about it, it sounded like baaaah.... But now that she actually shows how to do it, it makes perfect sense! I think I'll go and communicate my love to some of my clothes now :-)))))))

[@BrittanieW]

This helped me out so much! After watching an episode of the show on Netflix, I came here! This helps me see what clothes I want to wear instead of having them on top of each other! And it helps me realize that I don’t need at much clothes that I have. This helps me become somewhat of a minimalist.

[@TsetsiStoyanova]

Why am i watching this at 3 in the morning?

[@sherlizamegane3850]

Because it is life changing.

[@vanekirk]

1:15 am for me. 😆

[@guavaprince3247]

She is just so amazing. I had no idea that this method could change my life!

[@alcyonae]

She should have stroked the clothes till they were wrinkle-free. I’ve been doing this forever and it takes no time at all if you’re used to it. Love it.

[@Daydreamer1130]

Ever since I first heard of this method, I thought it sounded wonderful, but today I decided to actually try it out and even though it's slow going since I'm still figuring out the folding, I've never been more happy to fold a sweater before ^-^ even just folding it so precise gives me joy, so I'm happy to take my time to get it right ^-^

[@sanna9672]

After watching this I just folded a shirt that was going in the laundry basket without even realising. This can't be good 😅

[@Kzarito]

I organized my whole closet in one day after watching her series on Netflix 😆

[@ToniM10]

Now.. U can DO MORE.. Laundry!!!... LMA0

[@reginabeasley872]

Recently bought a new dresser I used Marie’s method my dresser drawers have never been so organized !! Love her method

[@solarlola5953]

do i have to appreciate my clothes b4 I fold them?

[@vibecheck9434]

yes, so you surround yourself with things that make you happy

[@celesteleanna]

I love this. It’s like meditation and brings joy and relaxation into household chores. Complaining is so counterproductive.

[@albhtan]

She obviously folding slower than her normal speed because she explaining, I bet she can fold this way faster than most people here

[@viviangonzalez8110]

Hoy me puse a sacar las cosas que no necesito de mi cocina. He sacado y sacaso y aun no termino y eso que he estado desde la mañana. Llevo ya como 7 horas ordenando. Es increíble las cosas que guardas sin necesitarlas.

[@paulastaton2835]

I love you, Marie. I bought your book! God bless you :-)

[@leicestergirl63]

Paula Staton: ..... and I'm sure she's laughing manically every day at how rich she's getting thanks to people like you buying into her nonsense and hanging onto her every word.

[@cindynguyen639]

Omg I love her style hair everything bout her and how she talks so gentle but happy I need to be like that !!

[@cliffburton5696]

kind of like giving your wardrobe a Reiki session.

[@wanyin_c9146]

Thank you Marie Kondo for showing me how to fold clothes and to appreciate all my items.

[@hades_head_empty]

what about thick sweaters??? I have a lot of those and they just become blobs

[@leicestergirl63]

I think it would be too much of a challenge for her to try to make storing bulky sweaters look neat, tidy and 'zen' like! I'd love to see her try that though - it would be so funny.

[@imissmoni]

emi-is-never-productive I'm pretty sure with thick sweaters if I remember correctly she advises those to be hung in your closet.

[@humminbirrrd]

leicestergirl63 Nope, I've seen videos of her folding sweaters and she does just as good a job on them as anything else. I followed her method of folding sweaters and they're in much better shape now than when I was hanging them and they were losing their shape.

[@KawaiiBabyTragon]

Depends on their thickness, if they're too bulky they should be hung like coats. However, some sweaters are thin enough to fold just fine.

[@Andi-xm8pm]

Thank you for sharing your joy and organization, Marie Kondo!

[@Final_Boss]

She is so adorable, like a character straight out of a manga.

[@sitarainbow8837]

What I enjoyed most about this was her Presence - her call to be _with_ the clothing we're folding, to insert benevolent energies into our work. It's a lovely call to self-awareness in whatever we're doing. ~♥~

[@lizw.2629]

With wardrobes designed for people to stack their clothes upwards, aren't we not utilizing all that vertical space by stacking horizontally?

[@bkirstie]

she just LOOKS neat & clean. so cute.

[@Kzarito]

To all the people complaining about that it would take too long to fold everything, just remember you'll waste more time trying to find a certain item from a pile of stuff.

[@76sweetjane07]

Your really great organization, I luv her personality, she shines,, I luv watching u on Netflix,, keep up the great work,,

[@MrNikkiNoo]

Enough with the moaning! "Try doing this if you have a two year old" etc etc. Don't do it if you don't want to - nobody cares!

[@Offensive_Username]

Neither do I care about nutcase Marie.

[@xyluaphone]

Don't watch the video if you don't want to either. If you do not care about her or what she is doing, why are you here?

[@deetznauts4]

She has two kids, anyway. She turned her home skills into a successful career. These lazy complainers have no excuse.

[@Mizkitty03]

Exactly she has a 1 and 2 year old. Maybe if they stop taking hour long trips with their bff to gossip at starbucks. They would have time.

[@VitaBySam]

People need to watch her Netflix series "Tidying Up"....she has two young kids herself. Those whinging would feel less stressed with their busy lifestyle "having a two year old" if they applied some of her methods and calmness to their own lives.

[@shirlsbythesea]

this is very calming and i love how this method takes up less space and makes everything look tidy but i feel like if i used this method it would be hard to find a specific item of clothing that i want to wear and not mess everything up

[@mariamilagrosgarciavalle5550]

por fqvor,lo pueden traducir al español?gracias

[@outlawmateo]

(0:03) Ahora, voy a demostrar como doblar la ropa. El punto clave aquí es sentir la prenda de ropa con tus manos y comunicar tu afecto por las palmas de tus manos. Es muy importante tener este pensamiento en la mente mientras dobles la ropa. (0:23) Doblar la ropa no es cuestión de hacerla compacta, pero sí es cuestión del amor, de comunicar tu afecto y tu gratitud por su apoyo continual. (0:34) Primero, dobla ambas mangas así. Ahora, haz un rectángulo largo con el cuerpo de la prenda en el centro. Después, dóblala por la mitad, y después, dóblala por el tercero. Cuando una prenda de ropa se dobla correctamente, puede quedarse parada. (1:07) Vamos a doblar otras prendas de la misma manera. Para un camisole, otra vez, siente la prenda. Acaríciala con tus manos. Los básicos de doblar aquí son doblarla de su anchura por el tercero. El punto clave con el camisole es incluir los tirantes como parte de su largo, y doblarla casi por la mitad. Después dobla, y dobla otra vez por el tercero. ¡Voila! Puede quedarse parada. (2:02) Ahora, vamos a doblar las medias. Lo que no recomiendo es hacerles en una bola, así. ¿Por qué no? Porque así se arruina el elástico en la apertura de las medias. Correctamente: pon las dos medias juntas por acostar una encima de la otra. Dobla por la mitad, y otra vez, por la mitad. Cuando se doblan correctamente, se van a quedar paradas también. Como puedes ver, dobla todas las prendas de tal manera que se quedan paradas solitas. Se van a ver muy ordenadas.

[@leonexplorer]

Matthew Gillin aikido para la ropa jajaja

[@ToniM10]

Tai Chi de ropa!... jaa..

[@fedsummer90]

Okay.I'm from 🇯🇵 and I understand her explanation 120%. Here's the problem. Her lecture made me fully aware of incapability of changing my cleaning ethics(although I have huge respect for her) It's kind of gift.

[@patrickbegin]

They should give her a Netflix spot......wait a minute.

[@kayla4189]

I just tried the sock folding method...holy cow! It worked. Looking forward to trying some of the other folding tips too! Thanks!

[@HushHashBoy]

This was therapy!

[@FreshSqueezedLightning]

I’ve always been bad about keeping my room tidy. I have a lot of clutter. I was willing to try anything at this point, I just turned 27, it’s time to get organized. I searched a bunch of tidy videos and found out about Marie Kondo. I know some people here are pretending talking to inanimate objects makes them feel crazy, but I talk to myself all the time, anyone who lives alone and says they don’t is lying. It’s just a way to retain sanity lol. Growing up on Disney movies, I’ve always talked to inanimate objects, it’s basically just thinking out loud. No one is around to hear you so who cares? It’s kinda soothing. So her talking about thanking your inanimate objects and the like makes a lot of sense to me. I’m gonna keep learning her methods so I can finally get everything in order, she’s so smart and inspiring. Good on her to find a smart way of doing a seemingly everyday task into a career, I’m proud of her. She seems so together and prolific in everything she does. I’m excited to keep attempting to imitate her methods! Lol

[@rachelbrenner4092]

I just did my drawers and I can see most of my clothes too.

[@virtualcfg]

Just getting on this train and want to point out that folding like this is also a mindfulness practice. If we approach it as 5-10 mins of calming mindfulness rather than another chore, the practice is transformed.

[@malicewonder8345]

It's like making origami, only with clothing instead of paper.

[@Pandaluver67899]

I did this and it is amazing! So easy to find clothes and get dressed in the morning!
