Marie Kondo Sparks Joy! with Wendy Goodman

Marie Kondo’s unique KonMari Method of tidying up is nothing short of life-changing-and her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, has become a worldwide sensation.
The decluttering demigoddess returns to our stage to dig deeper into some of her fans’ burning questions about clearing clutter - and sparking joy. From organizing specific items throughout the house, to folding techniques, to dealing with those items that might not bring happiness but are necessities nonetheless, Kondo shows us how to lead a tidier, simpler, and more joyful life - whether you’re a newcomer to the KonMari Method or an established practitioner.

Love her! My friends told me I reminded them of her and I didn't know who she was and what a compliment. I love changing lives for better!

[@amyhk1]

That translator is a champ.

[@trapismyname1553]

I was looking for this comment because to remember everything they say then translate it effortlessly is amazing

[@pixxa37]

I am very lucky on the 'dialogue with objects' part. Always talk to my things, not like a lunatic, but having an internal dialogue with many of my objects. This ,ade very easy for me to accept the least undersood, or palatable, of her philosophy. Maintaining a contact with our things helps a lot to understand ourselves and those things too!

[@cjc9088]

She is Adorable! What a Sweetheart...and I now have a better grasp on thus method! Thank you.

[@darkhorse7460]

KonMari bonus tip: remove labels on things like shampoo, conditioners, laundry soap(not medicines which you may need the info for) to reduce visual "chatter" in your environment.

[@ellesnyder942]

I read that years ago. when we had an espresso shop, we'd put all the java jackets on inside out so the ads wouldn't show and the customer might have a more peaceful experience.

[@sweetlove3391]

Really interesting, funny and daring questions, learned different things of how Marie Kondo looks into these things. Good job, Wendy.

[@voyance4elle]

This talk is the best!!! :D I have seen many talks of her and this is the most fun and interesting ;) BIG THUMBS UP!

[@CeeGeeZ]

Tx❕ for 😊s-UP❗

[@williamjeffbuckleyjr.2648]

Thank you for your gift in uploading this. I have been a konvert for over two years now and strive to experience all videos that broadcast this important skill sense of what sparks joy and what needs let go. We must join her in organizing the world, and your video is helping our mission. 🙏🏻

[@laineygann7713]

I agree. I passed my book on to my granddaughter who has since shared it. Then we told other friends about it. I'm ready to give Spark Joy to a friend now. That's my small effort to help organize the world!

[@annamariesf]

Thank you! Love hearing from Marie Kondo!

[@christinachua-wadia958]

very Good questions, thank you for sharing and asking all those questions as I have those questions too.

[@deeliciousplum]

🌻 I am attempting to do what has been put off for far too long. Taking downsizing to the next and much needed level. There are storage boxes beneath our basement stairs which have not been opened for over fifteen years. I think that I even have a box filled with a collection of power adaptors for devices which might be on display in the collections of the Department of Anthropology of the Smithsonian National Museum. As for applying Marie Kondo's technique of holding something and to notice if it sparks joy, I think that it will be an exceptionally difficult task. Even while touching the sides of these dust covered storage boxes, boxes which contain who knows what, I feel so many sparks of joy. This is going to be a tough chore. Very tough indeed. 🤭

Fantastic interview.

[@beverlyfrederick7670]

You are so inspiring! Thank you!

[@scrappingupjunk156]

Thank you for uploading...

[@ellesnyder942]

I love MK- have enjoyed her talks, shows and books. But I have to say, when you look at the before and after of that bedroom, the stuff wasn't just put away. A large percentage must be given away or thrown out. You see that in her shows. Bags and Bags of things leaving the home. That's the only way you can achieve that. Her method isn't about just moving the mess somewhere else. That's the core of her method really. The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up is marketing genius. I'm sure it would outsell "You've GOT to Throw Your Shit Out!"

[@kathalinehansen7078]

a hoarding house is more than messy. There will be garbage. And thinking problems with acquisition, organization, and discarding. For example, categorizing is hard because a hoarder may view each thing as unique, a group of one. Where a person may be able to separate kitchen things from other things. However, a hoarder would say all red wooden spoons, etc. Therefore, everything may spark joy, or fear of not throwing out what they might be able to use. This could even apply to trash; that is why so much trash is usually in a hoarder's house. Also, their sense of overwhelm prevents them from starting. They need a coach and someone to find what their thinking patterns are so they can challenge their unrealistic beliefs. Some of Konmari's success is her respectful attitude towards her clients. This is the attitude needed to help a true hoarder--no name calling, lazy, clutter, etc.

[@daniellower72]

I am reflecting on this too as I have a friend who is a hoarder. I don't know they are human or even animal aren't they though? Even a cat can tell joy from no joy, fish joy, tinned food not so much. I was even thinking it's probably possible to get a Parrot to declutter their own cage by touching them with the item if they raise up they like it and it's a keep if they bow down then it's no joy sadness. Surely that is the essence of the method and imagining the life they want. Or are you saying they can't even imagine a future life for themselves hmmm. They may need more categories than average with so much miscellaneous.

[@jellybeanbear7017]

@@daniellower72 hoarding is more than just a behavior, it's mental problem. It's not like they cant identify what sparks joy or not. In some situation they attached their feelings with the stuffs they possess. For example: A watch of husband has been passed away. When facing the question of keeping it or not they re facing their past and questioning whether they should let it go and most of the time they cant. If u look at them in this aspects they will just be like any other normal human in this world, not just animals :)

[@Me-life77]

Taraaaaaá!!! Beautiful!.There are people very messy. How a man or woman can have their room like a garage sale or rather a corral for pigs?. I recommend them that if have a hard time tidying the room, at least do not throw things to the floor and also tidy it once a week; Maybe over time they can create a good cleaning habit since they will feel a better energy around them because everything will be clear. Thank you Marie Kondo for creating a practical method of organization and sharing it with us. 👍💞

[@abrahama2643]

Can you explain to the 60 year old on stage what "Cos-Play" is?

[@mugglescakesniffer3943]

How do you fold plus size clothes not size zero clothes?

[@ellesnyder942]

it works out just the same.

[@Medietos]

Does this translator capture and include her spirituality, her energy, soul?It doesn't sound like it. You who say she "is a champ", do you know JApanese, and can you really tell, please?

[@Medietos]

Does she have anything for traumatized, burnt out HSP's/ Aspergers and siease-struggling ones who have to prioritize Survival and Search for professional assistence and treatment? I get the impression , she is only for pretty normal ppl with rather small issues really. Am I wrong? Is there any video where she is done justice in the simultaneous translation? I want the real stuff. Thank you.

[@shigsho]

Get rid of some of the crap you have...old books, magazines and clothes that don't fit. Keep only the best stuff. It works.

[@lauramansilla3971]

[@luizabeatrice3432]

Wendy Goodman, who ever you are, did you take a look at your teeth lately?.... Now... how about your water-closet?...

[@Medietos]

For real problems, this won't work that well, - in real mess, one won't see and find all the items of that category. What does she say about real issues? It is good to have many teacups in burn-out and chronic crisis, since one gets clumsy from the sleep deprivation and sterss, and needs more cups to replace...

[@SDLaMadrid]

She talks so fast. That's not so calming.

[@sharhful]

That’s how the Japanese language sounds

[@allnargles]

It sounded good but now she’s corrupted her own method.

[@globalmuffin2]

she has expired what she had to say, now she has to make a living out of something.

[@E.R.Hewitt]

How ?

[@quickchris10comcast]

Well every Asian/Buddhist person knows this is about feng shui.

[@sharhful]

I think her method is life changing. Not sure what you mean
