The KonMari Method™ was developed by Japanese organizing expert Marie Kondo, bestselling author of ‘The Life Changing Magic of Tidying up’ and star of Netflix series ‘Tidying Up with Marie Kondo’.

1. Marie Kondos method differs to other decluttering methods in two key ways: Rather than decluttering by room or location, we tidy by Category.
2. You make positive choices about keeping possessions that "Spark Joy" rather than specifically looking for items to discard.  The aim is to surround yourself with things you love and use.

The KonMari Method has 5 categories; Clothes, Books, Papers, Komono (miscellaneous) and Sentimental.

KonMari vs Minimalism?
