Marie Kondo: The 3 Steps to Her "KonMari" Method

[@JackieSouLCarioca]

This interpreter is AWESOME! Love Mari's method, although it's nothing complex, but I love her gentle and firm approach. The interpreter is enthusiastic, she adds to the workshop, this is the best interpreter Mari had so far. Well Done!

[@MarthaHenry1]

This method of tidying up has transformed my life and classroom. Thank you Marie!

[@OliviaBeille]

I love this translator. It's the first I see that really put emotion and humour intro her translation. Bravo to her!

[@OhMyEls]

I love this translator! Such a beautiful job. Felt like I was listening in to her story telling with a friend. :)

[@Spherian7]

She's like a beautiful model and wise princess from a better planet.

[@D_McGeezacks]

Her voice is so beautiful and soothing

[@MindOfMine.]

This video really inspires me. I already read the book and started tidying, but the way she speaks and how she talks about it, really gives it an extra dimension. Even though I don't know a word of the Japanese language, I really feel her good vibes. I also got the feeling that the translator is really in sinc with her message.

[@PurdyBear1]

I've just finished her book, so this is great to watch before I start the process.

[@loriphillips3864]

The philosophy of keeping only what brings you joy is a basic life lesson for all areas of your life, and not just your environment. And looking more closely at everything in your life, looking more deeply, also is a wise tenement. I have decluttered my life and home, and it is liberating. There is a Japanese proverb: The more you have, the heavier your burdens will be. Why must we own things to feel good? Walk outside and appreciate nature. No one owns nature, and yet it brings us immense joy!

[@BedCrunch]

+Lori Phillips Why? Things are happiness that can be actually purchased, though for a brief moment. We feel excitement. And for this moment of excitement, we are willing to order books we wont read and purchase tons of clothes that we might not even wear. I love decluttering and hope the book with cute Marie converts my messy partner, too ... on other things in life - beware before you gracefully quit your job.

[@jomontanee]

So true. I get many questions from book lovers, "how about books? They are books, not clothes!" Pile of books that you don't reach and load of books that don't spark joy, it's hoarding too.

[@Boomtrack13]

Best translator ever!

[@MariasMiscellany]

Thank you for this video. I had started the process with my clothes but then I got stuck and did not continue. This reminder video has inspired me to set myself a new goal.

[@projectlifecoach7544]

Hm... I don't know if I would call those "steps" - tidy in one shot, tidy by location, ask if spark joys - those seem more like helpful "tips." :) According to her book, I think her KonMari steps are more like... 1) take everything out 2) sort if the items that spark/ don't spark joy 3) Discard any items 4) organize stuff and put things back.

[@jomontanee]

No, she teaches to KEEP things that spark joy. Not discard. Keep first then things left you can discard but after you say thank you to them. That's why it's her method. It's contradict ordinary organizing styles.

[@PacificNWGrl]

Very helpful to watch her video to supplement her two books I have read. She makes it seem so easy to understand especially when she talks. Her passion for helping others comes across even though she doesn't speak English.

[@slhamlet]

As an American, I'm slightly embarrassed she traveled to New York and had to see our sidewalks. Like, "Um, sorry about the mess."

[@mojosbigsticks]

William Morris said it best - "Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

[@BedCrunch]

+Mojos Bigstick Sounds beautiful, but it is sadly imprecise - I have lots of clothes I find useful, but some of them honestly do not spark much joy. (Those ugly rain pants I never wore ...)

[@mojosbigsticks]

+Irony Itch That's okay, things don't have to spark joy, as long as their useful. It's an either / or. No one would say my toilet is beautiful, but it sure is useful!

[@BedCrunch]

My toilet sure sparks joy. We mounted fabulous gently closing seat on it. :)

[@mojosbigsticks]

It's wonderful to have a room in your house, dedicated to improving your health and well-being, getting rid of your waste at the touch of a button. Maybe everything does have joy in it, even comfy yoga pants.

[@russianriverramparts865]

She is the Bob Ross of tidying...love her!

[@faithrada]

Russian River Ramparts. Haha...greay analogy. Indeed, I just love her voice .... it sparks enthusiasm and joy.

[@thenellierose]

So true, lol! She has that same sense of satisfaction and joy when sharing her work that he did... Sharing happy trees and happy socks with the world. 😊

[@mrstaturner]

Oh my goodness She really is 🤣

[@babybuddha62]

Has anyone noticed that Marie is pregnant? It's barely noticeable, but it's there. I've just finished her book and it really has opened my eyes to my attitudes to tidying up, but I'm curious to know how she's going to cope with all the mess that comes with having a baby? ;-D Very informative video, by the way. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheLilac212]

+babybuddha62 - honey, I'm sure she will be alright. If not her, than who? LOL. Besides I assume she is pretty comfortable and would hire help if she need it.

[@PacificNWGrl]

babybuddha62 oooh good call, she is pregnant here I didn't notice because I'm so mesmerized by her soft nature, sweet voice, shiny hair and cute face. :) I normally notice everything!

[@thenellierose]

@@SolutionsWithin She values the right of other people to choose what brings them joy. I think they'll be fine.

[@tizianacallari7446]

every thing spark joy for me that is why I am full of stuff

[@BedCrunch]

+tiziana callari sounds like you are also a very happy person

[@Saucyakld]

I started with one drawer a day. My husband got the shock of his life seeing his underwear drawer so tidy. Tomorrow sock day!!!!

[@TheMorningtrain]

Ss her methods are great but they can only work on somebody who is ready for them and ready for change. They won't work on a hoarder because they will hold everything and declare it brings them joy.

[@hippolyte90]

A hoarder needs a psychiatrist. Marie Kondo is a tidying and cleaning consultant.

[@thenellierose]

I've worked with hoarders before and actually this type of thing as part of the inquiry is helpful.

[@laineygann7713]

Loved this. She's fantastic! Although, I can't understand why ppl need help tidying. If you read her book, it's so clear how to proceed with her method. I suspect those who hire help have not really read the entire book.

[@CharlaTV]

how did the interpreter learned japanese i wanna know her story

[@winter10x06]

Charla sings 2 free beats probably studied it in Japan, took classes and always had someone to talk and practice with haha

[@suddendee]

Very possible since everything is on PowerPoint, pretty much everything is scripted so The interpreter had a chance to translate it before presenting.

[@matilda2]

she had a beautiful baby girl 🤗

[@55hikky]

Where's the comment that says 私の時めく者はまりえさんです。 or "You are my spark of joy Marie-sama" needs to go up.

[@JustSewTrish]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@iAmTheSquidThing]

The thing I struggle with is tools and materials. They don't exactly spark joy, but I know I'll regret it if I give them away then realise I need them for something soon after.

[@PiriyaSambandaraksa]

+Andy Brice I am an architect with woodworking hobby and I used to keep a stockpile of modelling papers, glue, cutter blades, rulers, woods of different kinds 'in case I might need them later.) Before I realise, my work space has became a storage that does not spark any joy nor creativity. I found that, and this was even before I discovered the KonMari method, by discarding the things I don't need now not only opens up my workspace but it makde me more considerate when buy supplies. Thinking ahead, buying only what I need, I am forced to face the decision I would otherwise postpone until later. The process helps sharpen my mind, opens up more creative ideas and enables me to experiments with many different kinds of techniques and materials, all that sparks joy at the slightest touch. So, yeah, learn to let go, it's not so scary nor wasteful. (I do keep supplies, but only those really necessary and those that I really want to see and use as soon as possible.)

[@mondoenterprises6710]

It also means that the tool you bought at a garage sale for $4 and gave away now costs $40 when you need it at home depot...

[@ta_nimal2023]

Using them more often may infuse the item with more joy.

[@Autumn_Forest_]

Marie Kondo was pregnant here, but she's so tiny, you can hardly even tell.

[@deniseking1179]

I had NO idea she was pregnant until I read your comment. Now I see it, it's obvious. How extraordinary.

[@Autumn_Forest_]

She was able to fold the baby up Konmari style in her belly, that's why.

[@deniseking1179]

+Nakidz Ha ha that's brilliant

[@tinekawilliams2715]

+Nakidz 😂

[@Chameleam]

Ohhhhhhhhhh that's genius

[@mondoenterprises6710]

Not everything needed in a home 'sparks joy'! My tire iron does not spark joy but it gets the snow tires changed!

[@Autumn_Forest_]

She discusses these items in her book.

[@jomontanee]

My utensils spark joy. Even my hammer sparks joy. They are not only "tools" for me, they help my life get easier. I'm sure many men love their garage tools and take good care of them all like family members, not just tools.

[@thenellierose]

Does having snow tires when you need them bring you joy?

[@bluestar.8938]

Thank You : )

[@somix5365]

Oh hey! My mom has been doing that for 49 years!!! ... WE 'RE NOT MILLIONAIRES!!

[@BedCrunch]

+L.E.D. 194 She kept it a secret from you.

[@jcastro91235]

What about others rooms that have clothes like my older son sleeps in the living room and has clothes hanging there

[@albbacarddoso]

Hello! There is Simutaneous Translation with a booth and stuff!

[@mibeka1]

Nothing against the interpreter- she seems like a wonderful human being but an interpreter should speak in first person singular almost as if she herself where saying Marie's words and should also hold in her laughter while interpreting. She could laugh in unison with the audience as they laugh. Then continue interpreting. I'm so glad I've been able to learn from Marie's organization methods.

[@jomontanee]

No need to speak in 1st person. This translator worked as a co-speaker which I feel she brings more life to the audience than just a translator.

[@thenellierose]

I underatand your points but I really enjoyed this interpreter! Maybe you have to watch the flat and stilted ones on here first in order to appreciate this one...

[@jcastro91235]

I also did my closet one time and I’m going to do it one more time becuade I look at it and still it’s looks cluttery

[@setaremaz3496]

some things, don't spark joy but you need to keep them, like school text books for kids....but they have to keep them and use them ;) so what about those stuff?

[@ahuvaphillips1580]

In other videos, she's said to think about whether it's something you want to bring forward into the future with you. Also look at what it can bring to your child in the future (in this case it may add to their independence, their ability to become responsible adults). Not all is "joy" as we think of "joy".

[@mondoenterprises6710]

What worries me is how people's homes start to look like hotel suites with very little reveal of who they are as people...

[@Autumn_Forest_]

Quite the opposite, actually. You really should read her book.

[@uicomponentlib]

I felt strange when interpreter said she and not I , as she should translate it as it is Mary talking and say I and not she. I could not finish listening because it was confusing and uncomfortable

[@wendyramirez4553]

Chalé no entiendo ninguno de los dos idiomas ,:(...SHALOM. :)

[@GuadalupeQuinteroCA]

Wendy Ramirez 😲😁😜

[@regwatson2017]

If only every woman could look exactly like a clone of her. They should design the first robot in her image. Totally beautiful with a personality to match.

[@emmuskah]

I don't really like the interpreter, she is laughing loudly by herself and sometimes misses the point of some sentences... Doesn't seem really professional and it was really distracting.. :/

[@Autumn_Forest_]

Her lisp is what really drives me nuts.

[@Saucyakld]

She is lovely, warm voice and nice and quiet

[@rosemarymaher6726]

This is transmitted worldwide.I suspect few people are going to learn Japanese to follow the script. English is a universal language.One wonders why the speaker does not know English

[@jivalove6632]

U seem more vexed that Marie kondo does not speak English rather then embracing her being Japanese and a master at what she does and teaches. Something missing from Education particularly in the West and that is JOY. This is far more than tidying this is about creating a clean space a clean and present mind 're living memories to maintain happiness and to focus on the positive parts of our lives because life can be tough at times. If you read her book that is in English as well as several other language's you may learn something. And just to update you this extremely clever articulate and heart felt genuine lady NOW speaks FLUENT english.

[@DHerrera-h1j]

poor creature. get in to therapy is way more fun!

[@rosemarymaher6726]

Why have an interpreter? Why not learn her script in English? I watched four or five Netflix programs on this. Again there was an interpreter. I think she should learn the English for what she is saying.

[@rolandoenmierda8140]

Why not learn Japanese?

[@cheechkatofthevalley]

lmfao Rosemary you bitch, native Americans are some of the only people who aren't bilingual. most other countries speak at least one other dialect or language. we aren't the fucking center of the universe no matter what you think.
