Tidying up will lead to change – The Life

People cannot change their habits without first changing their way of thinking" - Marie Kondo.

A fresh approach to storage techniques is presented in The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up. Cleaning up takes on an art form that can significantly improve our lives. So that we are surrounded exclusively by the things that make us happy, tidy and reject everything at once, keeping just the items that make us happy. Once all the unnecessary items have been eliminated from our living space, the magic of tidying up also enables us to make our capacity agile for decision-making and self-confidence and provides an ideation of what we truly want from life. We may start a new life once our house is in order.

Marie Kondo contends that we must be taught proper storage practises in order to master the art of organisation. Because of this, it is entirely understandable that we have not mastered the art of tidying. With the proper strategy, the rebound effect (the yo-yo effect you notice when dieting) won't ever happen again, and your home will always be clean.

 

How to organise your living area?

·       Clean up properly and permanently.

Your agile mindset condition should significantly improve when you do all of the cleaning in one go. The agile way to lose all desire and become a slave to tidying up is to completely abandon any idea of getting rid of items one at a time. According to Marie Kondo, all it takes to tidy perfectly is to know what needs to be thrown away and where to put the things you want to keep.

·       Not by location, but rather by category

The best course of agile action is to set yourself the smart goal of tidying by category of goods rather than opting to organise this or that space today. For instance, organise every piece of clothing today, every book tomorrow, etc.

·       In life, we must deal with two types of tidying:

Daily tidying (putting something that you use over the course of a day back in its place)

Specific cleaning (tidying that you only perform once, in one go)

All that is left to do is the daily tidying after the day of exceptional tidying is finished (which happens very infrequently). This eliminates the need for "perseverance" in cleaning as the actual cleaning only takes place once.

 Key points in this process are:

·       Throwing things away comes first.

Two phases are important for effective decluttering: getting rid of useless objects and deciding what to keep with you. Among them, one must be discarded first.

·       Assemble your belongings.

Get everything together in one place before you start throwing stuff away. You can determine how much you own by gathering your possessions.

·       Separate tidying from sorting.

Sorting and tidying are not the same. Clusters are not necessarily eliminated after sorting; rather, they are organised.

·       Categorise everything

Don't arrange your possessions geographically. Instead, categorise your possessions so you can see how much you have and what you can get rid of.

·       Mementos ought to be the last

Beginning with items that trigger memories can cause you to become distracted from the task at hand and make it challenging to carry out your decisions.

·       Make wise decisions.

Organizing your space enables you to make wiser and innovative decisions. Regularly cleaning up helps you learn what to throw away and what to keep. It gives you the ability to think more efficiently. Do not use clusters.

Clustering does not produce effective tidying. Dispose of things first, then arrange.

·       Sort your clothes.

Clothes that can be folded should be done so instead of hanging. Clothing that has been folded looks better and has a longer lifespan.

What to avoid:

 Photos of the deceased should be preserved (for example, photos that belonged to your grandfather).

 Instead of cherishing the past, we should be proud of the person these experiences have made us. Instead of the person we were in the past, our interior is designed for the person we are becoming.

 You ought to be able to discern the nature and capabilities of your genuine values once you've brought order into your home and reduced the number of items there. You'll be aware of what matters most in your life. Contrary to popular belief, we do not take the best care of the belongings that we have an excess of but cannot bring ourselves to part with. We revitalise our connection with our possessions by reducing the number of items we own to a level we can handle. It is not wasteful to separate yourself from things that are useless.

“The question of what you want to own is actually the question of how you want to live your life”.― Marie Kondō
