Marie Kondo: The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up

[@MarthaHenry1]

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

[@couchphotography8861]

started watching Marie's shows on Netflix last night, started with the dishes today....love the idea of thanking the house first. She's so sweet and full of joy

[@annieprepper602]

I think it's so beautiful how she thanks the things she's parting with.

[@ahealthnut2]

I used her technique to organize my drawers. And let me tell you: This has brought me so much joy and contentment. I love to just open my drawers and looking at all of my things staring back at me...every one of them.

[@MsLoriGold]

I got ASMR from listening to Marie speak, but the advice she gives will help me I think in tackling some daunting chores, and hopefully by setting a 'finish' date will help alleviate stress concerning upcoming spring cleaning projects.

[@lifemagnet]

I am in love with her! I have to appreciate the translator for the wonderful job that she did. She is the best so far, of all the videos I have seen,

[@dovie2blue]

Roshini Muralidharan And she's not even Japanese!

[@icecream4depression]

dovie2blue That might be the reason she is better to us. She understands English better because it is her first language and can take the gist of what Marie is saying and give it to us with more of our lingo and inflections.

[@anncorkett7166]

You are quite right. I used to be a professional interpreter. The rule is, you should always translate INTO your mother tongue, not out of it.

[@SuperAdijas]

I love to listen to her speaking Japanese. :) It sound so soothing

[@aytanmammadli8085]

Adilah me too

[@MissGracelovesu]

I love Marie's voice.

[@tarationg]

Sorry can I say that Marie Kondo is literally me, I’ve been organizing my siblings’s room, the TV table, the dining table, and my own room since I can remember

[@TrueMusicGirl5]

I just love Miss Kondo. 😄

[@hochathanfire0001]

what an enthusiastic, and understanding interpreter 🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@lepoissonmasque7462]

In japanese tradition, when domestic objects turn 100 years they can become sort of evil ghosts, the "tsukumogami". One can imagine that neglected, "sleeping" objects become tsukumogami that will haunt our houses and our lives! Therefore we must let them go and say a proper farewell!

[@happyheartslee]

i can see that the translator loves her job! haha both of them makes a good team in this presentation!

[@alexmathewmendoza]

Since I began reading her book, my views on organizing and purging have completely transformed. Her methods are absolutely amazing and easy to implement!

[@KilurDragon]

No wonder Kondo's book is still engaging and appeases people who read it. There's a big waiting list at my library even to this day to check out just a copy of it!

[@retalee3257]

I am excited to learn more. What I have done so far has brought me peace.

[@PurdyBear1]

I've just finished the book, and look forward to moving from the visualisation stage to the actual picking out the bits which spark joy in me. I think the majority of pets owners would know which toys they dog or cat love and can't do without. I know which ones my dog plays with most etc.

[@KatkaCvachova]

wow i agree like when i clean its more about what i want to keep because if i want something it means i like it and makes me happy...and iagree that columns are bad not just that it squishes the things that are in the bottom but when i také some of the bottom things out it always messes the whole pile .. and look at her she just radiates happiness and calmness and peacefulness and look how she moves her hands slowly and elegantly ...really inspiring method that has inspiring creator

[@shingose77music]

I want to watch this video everyday:) I love konmari method !

[@michelledalenaa]

Thank you so much for posting this. Now I know I want to buy her book! I really like the philosophy behind this.

[@Michael_JL93]

I love how she's looking at the questions on the cards so she can learn English. That's great.

[@kmwichterman]

VERY GOOD! A favorite to keep for reminders for me, and for my family & friends who need help tidying!

[@violinchicklet]

She is so true to Shintoism. It's beautiful.

[@sarahnorment]

The translator here is sooooo much better than the translator used for her Google talk.

[@fudgerhead]

Sarah Norment Thank God! I was very frustrated with the other translator!

[@NavaVive]

Sarah Norment omgoodness exactly my thoughts, this is sooooo pleasant : )

[@cristianvargas7112]

+Sarah Norment YEAH!, really good translator

[@angelaonthego]

+Sarah Norment Thats what brought me to this video. The google translator was so bad, I started looking for alternatives. The editing on this video is a little annoying when it does quick close up shots on the translator for small bits, but thats a post-production issue.

[@wonhoptoo]

No. She kept going “she” then “I” Trying to steal the show. It’s “I”!!!

[@alinasaephan]

I've been doing this method and I love it! I've even filmed myself doing some of this :D I'm hoping to do and post more videos. Highly recommend this book. I feel so much more peaceful in my life :)

[@hochathanfire0001]

this is a most beautiful, and useful skill thank you marie kondo 🤗🤗😊😊😊

[@HeyJoeHaze]

I ordered Konmari's books after watching this presentation. I can't wait for them to arrive. The Konmari method seems to make so much sense to me.

[@LubaBELOVE]

I’ve been cleaning 🧹 two days nonstop now 🤣🥳😭 she is a big inspiration

[@innebandy84]

Brilliant translator. So concise and succinct.

[@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.

[@lindamclennan8645]

KZbin has the sound all the way down so it's at barely even a whisper level.I'll have to turn the cc on to view this video.Why is the sound almost off?

[@mookiejapan7351]

The interpreter is former Tokyo resident and passing acquaintance Lisle Wilkerson. She does an amazing job here! Miles beyond the woman who interpreted for Konmari at Google. That said, she does approach this gig with a noticeably casual demeanor, and her paraphrasing does get a little loose in places, which MIGHT be why Konmari seems to take an interest in the question cards. お疲れ様、リーソル！

[@cikguzabedibrahim8825]

I just come across the konmari methode..Tq for the video

[@NaokoChaCha]

I absolutely love it! Though unfortunately the translation didn't do justice. What Marie Kondo is says in her words are a lot more thoughtful and meaningful. Some of her important points were lost in translation. That said, I know it's not easy to be an interpreter.

[@filmsandmovieschannel]

She is my idol :) haha when she described her teenage years I thought I'm not crazy cos that's my life now :)

[@dovie2blue]

+novalylenaonline She is a little bit crazy though...but she's turned it into an industry, which is very positive.

[@CPMSanDiego]

Marie Kondo's new book SPARK JOY: AN ILLUSTRATED MASTER CLASS ON THE ART OF ORGANIZING AND TIDYING UP, is set for release on December 29, 2015.

[@pheonixleaf9810]

LOVE HER!!

[@kwen2529]

Spark joy = Heart flutters with joy i love her idea of deciding what i want to keep , instead of what i want to throw.. yea getting ride is very overwhelming me sometimes.. i dread de-cluttering. And saying thanks help.Im pretty attached to my things i suppose

[@NessaDotiktoknessahoangdooffic]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Marie kando

[@1961maya]

I LOVE IT!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@followyourideas]

Is the book worth buying?

[@voyance4elle]

this is my favorite talk of hers :)

[@aytanmammadli8085]

How about it doesn’t spark joy but you might need that item later?

[@larisima]

i love the translator too

[@bryanrounds]

I love Japaneses, it's almost music to me

[@is2798]

これは正に神道の心だ！ This is exactly Shinto! Shinto mind! Shinto is not a religion. It is the culture of Japanese people. God dwells in goods. God exists in words as well. It is "YAOYOROZUNOKAMI". Thank you Konomi. You're great!

[@DinaAhmed-uj1gz]

thank you very much

[@trishschmidt8530]

Does she have a method for organizing time? or time management?

[@dovie2blue]

Momma Homemaker No, she deals only with physical organization, but she says that once you get your stuff organized and make all of the necessary decisions, the rest of your life will be more organized as well, naturally. I believe it's possible.

[@trishschmidt8530]

dovie2blue That does make sense. Thanks for your reply!

[@tinakoyama]

@dovie2blue Yes, better than the one at the Google talk. By larger I meant personality is larger. And all the hand waving makes her bigger. She takes too much attention for herself when the spotlight is supposed to be on Ms. Kondo. She is an EXCELLENT public speaker, but not so much a good translator. Either way, I enjoyed this talk. :)

[@tatianapereyra7451]

Existe algún video con la traducción en español, gracias

[@finelady187]

The translator is putting in her own thoughts and views, I wish she just did a direct translation

[@lynnchacha1234]

Reena M absolutely!! she's good but she kept putting a lot of her own interpretation into her statements which sometimes loses the meaning of Marie's sentences...

[@jellybeanbear7017]

Oh wow, apart from Lida, this translator by far whom I like most. And shes not even Japanese, which makes her work more admiring to me

[@davidb2206]

Translator did an impressive job. Well done.

[@mescellaneous]

it almost feels like all philosophies boil down to the konmari method.

[@tamijxo]

The picture of her staring at all the books and wondering what to do with them is me!😐

[@bryanrounds]

@Sarah Norment, yes you are so right. If any one know the translators name I want to follow in her foot steps. Pls help me find her

[@GoldhartStudio]

Looks like that the translator doesnot understand what Marie Condo talking about. Is there anybody here whose native language is Japan - can you tell how she is translating? I noticed 1 mistake, and it is a big point ( as I can notice from a few videos where Marie explained herself and with Japanese interpreter. Any comments about her translation from native Japanese people ?

[@isisnohemi3047]

The translator puts waaaaaaay too much of her own opinion in the translation. That's not her job.

[@happyheartslee]

i havent finished watching but i cant halp it and i must say it hahaha she is soooo cute!!! hahaha and sweet! auwhhhh~

[@NessaDotiktoknessahoangdooffic]

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@BrandonRicherson]

20 mins in I bought the book on amazon....

[@pheonixleaf9810]

Epic translator

[@2008nueva]

¿¿ why PSICOLOGICAL HOARDING its ok ??

[@dovie2blue]

+2008nueva It's not OK, but she has no experience with true hoarders, at least not the ones who are really mentally ill. Her method would not be effective for these people as they would find it impossible to get rid of so much of their hoard, and even if they did, they would find a way to replace it as soon as possible. Her method is for people who have cluttered up their lives but who can let go of possessions with rational reasons and techniques. NOT for hoarders.

[@MissGracelovesu]

dovie2blue she doesn't claim to have the cure to hoarding. She targets the average consumer and shows them that their things they keep for no reason can hold them back and make them unhappy without them even realizing.

[@bryanrounds]

I was not in to big women but now after watching this video, now i might be. :-)

[@tinakoyama]

The translator is good but she is sometimes paraphrasing what Marie Kondo is saying rather than translating directly. (I speak Japanese.) She talks ABOUT her instead of just stating her message. Instead of saying, "I'm going to....." the translator says, "She is going to....." as if she is a guest herself. Not professional for a translator. I also find she speaks with her hands too much. She has a big personality. It almost feels like the translator is the guest rather than Marie Kondo, which is a shame.

[@dovie2blue]

***** But she's still better than the Google talk right?

[@dovie2blue]

***** She is a much larger lady than Marie, that's for sure.

[@dylanrhoads]

***** Absolutely agree. The fact that everyone is talking about the translator and not Marie shows how distracting her paraphrasing and body language is. She's also very slow, which interrupts the pace of the presentation. It can be entertaining at times, but not professional for a translator. It's not about the translator, it's about Marie!

[@TheDesignCreative]

***** the thing is , she is doing a long talk which is supposed to be engaging and it makes sense that both have a big personality. The situation is different , if Marie was talking and being animated and the translator wasn't I would get bored with this talk real quick.

[@alphashanahan4323]

+tinakoyama i agree with what you are saying. It appears that the translator is not just translating. She takes the position of someone who Konmari talks to and she relates to the audience what she was told. That is not how i understand being a translator is. Konmari is the guest speaker and not her. Translators are usually just in the background, and not taking the position of addressing the audience directly, as what the lady translator is doing in this video.

[@CSWRB]

The interviewer was so irritating with her bargaining against the method and trying to be alpha. Marie Kondo must get so sick of that type of person. Other than that, great presentation.

[@noorroha9334]

agreed

[@kardas666]

she's a bit of "cat lady"-like in the head, but definitely in her own niche. read her book - the practical advice is superb, the spiritual "talk to your toothbrush" stuff is too much. 5/7 would apply her methods to clean my garage again.

[@CandyPant5]

I get the impression that Marie can read and understand English better than she can speak it.

[@dovie2blue]

+Copperain This is typical for how language is acquired. Speaking is the last element of being fluent.

[@wonhoptoo]

omG she's pregnant! And no one noticed?

[@duermedespierto]

The interviewer is annoying and condescending. She seems to be making fun too. I didn't like her at all

[@gmkbelanger]

Took me a while to notice; Marie Kondo is about 6-7 months pregnant in this video.

[@MikeSampaga8090]

Marie is a hottie wow

[@davidb2206]

Vanity. What good is a comment like yours? She's married with two kids.

[@deph92]

Is she pregnant?

[@candismorton]

Devi Sasongko

[@candismorton]

Candi Morton I think she is

[@annieprepper602]

Devi Sasongko Now she'll have a baby clutter her world with baby accoutrements. New challenges!

[@dovie2blue]

Devi Sasongko I didn't know she was married!

[@dovie2blue]

Annie Prepper Somehow I think she will keep control and not let it get ahead of her!

[@2submit]

Is every women in japan hot?

[@MissGracelovesu]

newlife lol no... that's kind of a weird thing to ask.
