The time has come to swap out chunky coats for breathable cardigans and thick blankets with plush throws \u2013 the winter chill has begun to thaw! But as we do that, we should all consider getting rid of a few things as opposed to just storing them away until next winter. Japanese organizational guru, Marie Kondo, has completely reimagined the way many look at space and possessions.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve shared my personal tips and tricks to achieving a Zen life through minimalist living and feng shui,<\/em> and this professional offers actionable advice that you can start on today.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t the time or resources to read her books, I\u2019ve offered a brief summary of her teachings. Go through the six rules of KonMari and challenge yourself to take your spring cleaning a step further this season:<\/p>\n

6 KEY RULES: <\/strong><\/h1>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    COMMIT TO TIDYING UP<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    This seems obvious enough right? Well, in my experience, I\u2019ve found common sense to not be so common.<\/p>\n

    If you\u2019re going to \u2013 in essence \u2013 spring clean your life, it might confuse your psyche to then go back to mess and disorganisation in a couple of weeks. Once you make the decision to get rid of things you no longer need, thus freeing up physical, emotional and mental space for productivity, you MUST stick to it.<\/p>\n

    Motivate yourself with mantras like, \u201cjust for today, I commit to a clutter-free life,\u201d or, \u201clet\u2019s make it to the end of the month and then reassess,\u201d do that. The KonMari method is going to look different for everyone (heck, no single room in your home might look the same), but the principles are universal. It\u2019s important to ensure you make it work for you.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      CONSIDER HOW IT WILL AFFECT YOUR LIFE<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Begin with the end in mind \u2013 it\u2019s a great motivator.<\/p>\n

      When you begin to see what your life will look like when it\u2019s not a mess and stress-free, getting rid of things and reorganising might be much easier to do.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        DISCARD UNWANTED ITEMS BEFORE TIDYING UP<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        This is incredibly important.<\/p>\n

        We all know that there are a few things in our wardrobe, bathroom cabinet, TV unit (the list goes on) that can be thrown away. We all tend to amass a great deal of junk; either that or a few things have since become useless. What might help you is not thinking of \u2018throwing\u2019 things away but giving them to a person or organisation that will have better use for it.<\/p>\n

        Monthly, I go through my home and put a bunch of things in a box with a few loaves of homemade bread, a carton of long-life milk and drop it off at corners I know homeless people frequent. You might feel better donating things to your local hospice or orphanage.<\/p>\n

        Once you\u2019ve scaled down a little, organising won\u2019t take so much time.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. \n

          GO BY CATEGORY NOT BY LOCATION<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          If, like me, you have an inclination to hording, the entire undertaking might be overwhelming. While I am two years in recovery, I still notice myself holding onto trinkets and souvenirs from travels out of sentimentality. If you start there you will only depress yourself. Marie Kondo suggests you start with clothes as they rarely have any significance unless it is an item like a wedding dress or a treasured hand-me-down. Then move onto books and papers, letting go of books that no longer inspire you and papers that can easily be digitised can be thrown into the recycle bins.
          \nOnce you\u2019re comfortably getting rid of things, you can move onto your sentimental items.<\/p>\n

            \n
          1. \n

            SORT IN ORDER<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            If you go by location instead of order, you\u2019ll very quickly become fatigued mainly because you\u2019re repeating the same process from one room to the next. The KonMari method suggests you go step by step throughout the house so once you\u2019ve done a comprehensive<\/strong> job; you don\u2019t have to do it again.<\/p>\n

              \n
            1. \n

              ONLY KEEP ONLY THAT WHAT SPARKS JOY<\/strong><\/h1>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              Keep only what sparks joy! Again, what this philosophy is doing is challenging you to rethink what you fill your space with. Don\u2019t focus on what you are losing but rather the clarity of thought, sense of ease and pure joy that you will gain from the entire process.<\/p>\n

              If, at the end of your spring cleaning, you feel dejected or even tired, you might not have done it right. KonMari-ing your life is supposed to energise and excite you (or just simply relax you). Remember, be patient and tender with yourself.<\/p>\n

              Happy cleaning!<\/p>\n
