IT'S BECOME VERY POPULAR, BUT
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
LIVING A CLUTTER-FREE
LIFE USING THE KONMARI
METHOD HAS BECOME
MEAN.
JOINING US IS KATILYN
ROBERTS.
GOOD MORNING AND
WELCOME.
THANK YOU.
SO MANY QUESTIONS
BECAUSE THIS IS SO
POPULAR.
FIRST TALK ABOUT HOW
THIS CAME ABOUT.
SHE'S A JAPANESE
ORGANIZER AND BEST
SELLING AUTHOR.
SHE WROTE THE LIFE
CHANGING ART OF TIDYING
UP AND SPA SPARKING JOY.
SHE TEACHES FAMILIES
ABOUT HOW TO APPLY HER
METHOD WHICH IS REALLY A
PHILOSOPHY ABOUT
CHOOSING ONLY WHAT
BRINGS YOU JOY AND
LETTING GO OF ALL THE
REST.
ONLY IN YOUR HOME AND
BEDROOM BUT LIFE IN
GENERAL.
WE CONSIDER A TIDYING
--
WHEN I SAY CLEAR THE
CLUTTER, IT'S CLEAR THE
CLUTTER ACROSS THE
BOARD.
ACROSS THE BOARD.
YOU'RE A MASTER
CERTIFIED KONMARI
CONSULTANT.
TELL US HOW YOU GOT TO
THE THAT POINT BECAUSE
SO MANY PEOPLE ARE
THINKING I COULD BE A
CONSULTANT, BUT IT'S NOT
THAT EASY.
I WAS JUST ANOTHER
PERSON WHO READ THE BOOK
AND WAS INCREDIBLY
INSPIRED AND APPLIED THE
METHOD IN MY OWN HOME
A LIFE THAT I LIVED.
MARIE ESTABLISHED THIS
CONSULTANT TRAINING
PROGRAM AND MEN AND
WOMEN FROM ALL AROUND
THE WORLD HAVE ATTENDED.
SO THE FIRST STEP IS
ACTUALLY A TRAINING
SEMINAR AND YOU TAKE
WHAT YOU LEARN HOME AND
YOU ESTABLISH YOUR OWN
BUSINESS AND START
WORKING WITH CLIENTS.
AND THERE'S A MENTORSHIP
PROCESS TO MAKE SURE
YOU'RE APPLYING THE
METHOD IN EXACTLY THE
RIGHT WAY MARIE WOULD
HOPE FOR.
AFTER 500 TIDYING
LESSONS YOU CAN BECOME A
CONSULTANT.
AND GO TO YOUR HOUSE.
YOU HAVE TO BE LIVING
THIS LIFESTYLE TO BE
TEACHING IT IT.
YOU MENTIONED SOME
SEMINARS BUT THERE WILL
BE CLASSES LOCALLY LYOU
BROUGHT SOME T-SHIRTS
AND OTHER THINGS THAT
CLOSET.
YES.
KIND OF GIVE US AN
EXAMPLE OF WHAT YOU
WOULD LEARN IN A CLASS.
SO TELL US HOW YOU WOULD
FOLD A T-SHIRT USING
THIS METHOD.
THIS IS ONE.
MOST POPULAR PARTS OF
THE METHOD.
IT'S ABOUT SHOWING
RESPECT TO THE ITEM.
WE'LL TAKE A T-SHIRT AND
MAKE IT INTO A
RECTANGLE.
SO WE ALWAYS GET TO THE
THAT SHAPE FIRST.
YOU BRING THE SHIRT INTO
THE MIDDLE AND BRING IT
BACK.
YOU COME ALL THE WAY TO
THE EDGE TO BRING THE
SHIRT BACK.
YOU GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF
RESPECT TO THE ITEM.
YOU BRING IT DOWN.
RECTANGLE TO HALF AND
DEPENDING ON THE ITEM
YOU EITHER FOLD OF ONE
MORE TIME INTO THIRDS OR
HALF HAND YOU GET THIS
SHAPE NO MATTER IF IT'S
PANTS, SHIRT,
SWEATSHIRT, ETC.
AND THEN YOU PUT IT
IN YOUR DRAWER JUST LIKE
THAT.
YES.
THE VERTICAL STORAGE
IS GREAT BECAUSE YOU CAN
SEE ALL OF YOUR ITEMS AT
ONE GLANCE AND SOMETHING
IS GETTING TOO SQUISHED
AT THE BOTTOM OF THE
DRAWER WHERE YOU NEVER
END UP WEARING IT.
HOW DO WE APPLY THIS
METHOD TO OUR EVERY DAY
LIVES OUTSIDE OF THE
BEDROOM AND OUTSIDE OF
OUR CLOSETS.
I THINK IT'S REALLY
FOCUSING ON WHO YOU ARE
AND HOW YOU WANT TO BE
SPENDING YOUR TIME.
SO SPEND TIME WITH THE
PEOPLE THAT MAKE YOU
HAPPY.
DON'T PUT TOO MANY
SOCIAL EVENTS ON YOUR
CALENDAR IF IT'S
STRESSING YOU OUT.
JUST THINK ABOUT HOW YOU
WANT TO BE SPENDING YOUR
TIME.
THIS WILL APPLY IN A
VERY PURPOSEFUL SHOPPING
HABIT AS WELL.
WHEN YOU'RE SHOPPING
YOU'LL THINK WHAT ARE
THE THINGS I TRULY LOVED
IN MY HOME AND THAT'S
WHAT YOU'LL BE REPLACING
WITH FUTURE PURCHASES.
SOUNDS GOOD.
SOMETIMES IT SOUNDS EASY
BUT YOU REALLY HAVE TO
MAKE MORE OF AN EFFORT
TO FOLLOW THIS PRACTICE
AND THIS WAY OF LIFE AND
PHILOSOPHY.
YOU'LL BE TEACHING THAT
MORE THIS WEEKEND AT
WARD.
CAN YOU TELL US MORE
ABOUT THE CLASSES.
YES.
WARD VILLAGE INVITED ME
OUT.
WE'RE HAVING THREE
WORKSHOPS TODAY AND
THREE TOMORROW.
IT'S MORE A DEEP DIVE
INTO THE METHOD, A 90
MINUTE VIP WHERE YOU
WILL LEARN THE FOLDING
TECHNIQUE.
I BELIEVE THEY ARE
FREE.
YEAH, TOTALLY FREE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE A
FEELING THAT THEY ARE
GOING TO BE FILLING UP
REALLY FAST BECAUSE THIS
METHOD HAS JUST
SKYROCKETED IN
POPULARITY.
AND IT'S FREE?
YES.
