CALLED
CALLED THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING UP.
IT IS DUBBED THE CONMARIE
METHOD.
METHOD.
METHOD. GO BY CATEGORY.
SO, ITEMS IS ONE CATEGORY, AND
GO THROUGH EACH ONE AT A TIME,
AND CONSIDER THEM.
HERE IS WHAT WE MEAN, YOU PICK
IT UP AND YOU SAY, DOES THIS
ITEM BRING ME JOY?
SHE EVEN RECOMMENDS THAT YOU
SENSE IF IT BRINGS YOU JOY.
IF IT DOES, YOU GET TO KEEP IT.
IF THE ANSWER IS NO, SHE
RECOMMENDS YOU THANK IT FOR ITS
SERVICE, AND TOSS IT INTO THE
DONATE OR SELL PILE.
SO, ALL THAT IS LEFT ARE ITEMS
THAT BRING YOU JOY.
MICHELLE IS ON MATERNITY LEAVE
RIGHT NOW, BUT EVEN ON
MATERNITY LEAVE, SHE IS TRYING
THIS METHOD OUT WITH ALL OF HER
BABY STUFF.>> HI, LIKE
EVERYBODY, I BINGE WATCHED THE
TIDYING UP, AND I HAVE BEEN
TRYING TO TIDY UP OVER THE LAST
FEW DAYS, IT IS GOING OKAY, BUT
I'M KIND OF OBSESSED.
I WILL SHOW YOU.
SO, THESE ARE JJS HATS THAT ARE
IN A LITTLE BOX NOW.
AND, HIS SOCKS.
AND I ALSO DID HIS CLOSET, SO
HIS CLOSET NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS.
YOU JUST HAVE A LITTLE MORE
SPACE.
SPACE.
SPACE. IT
SPACE. IT IS NOT PERFECT.
THIS ROOM IS KIND OF SMALL.
BUT EVERYTHING IS IN A BOX.
AND IN HERE, THESE ARE CLOTHING
THAT HE HAS OUTGROWN, AND HIS
BATHROOM STUFF.
BATHROOM STUFF. I'M STILL WORKING ON HIS ROOM.
OKAY, THEN, I'VE GOT THE GARAGE
. JIM WORKED ON THE GARAGE.
SO, IT IS STILL A WORK IN
PROGRESS.
PROGRESS.
PROGRESS. BUT, AT LEAST YOU CAN SEE.
SO, IT'S COMING.
I THINK WE ARE GETTING MORE
ORGANIZED.
ORGANIZED. SO ANYWAY, WE HAVE A LONG WAY
TO GO BUT IT IS SLOWLY BUT
SURELY, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
GET ALL MY STUFF IN A PILE OF
EVERYTHING THAT I OWN.
LIKE MARIE SAYS, BUT I JUST
CAN'T DO IT RIGHT NOW WITH THE
BABY, BUT WE ARE TRYING REALLY
HARD.
HARD.
HARD. >>
HARD. >> FANTASTIC.
>> FANTASTIC. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT WITH
US, SECOND OF ALL, YOU ARE ON
MATERNITY LEAVE AND YOU ARE
ORGANIZING, YOU ARE A ROCK STAR.
YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED,
EVERYTHING WAS NEATLY FOLDED.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW THEY GET
THAT WAY, BECAUSE THIS IS ONE
OF THE CORNERSTONES OF THE
MOVEMENT, OKAY?
MOVEMENT, OKAY? IT IS ALL ABOUT HOW YOU FOLD.
NOW WATCH, YOU LITERALLY FOLD
THEM IN HALVES AND THIRDS,
OKAY?
OKAY?
OKAY? THIS IS GOING AND.
I'M GOING TO EXPLAIN IT TO YOU,
YOU TAKE THE THING, YOU SPREAD
IT OUT AND YOU SAY THANK YOU. I
LOVE YOU, JEANS.
SO MUCH LOVE.
YOU SMOOTH THEM OUT, FOLD THEM
IN HALF, OR FOLD THEM IN HALF
AGAIN.
AGAIN.
AGAIN. BUT IT MAKES IT SO IT CAN STAND
UP ON ITS OWN.
JUST LIKE THAT.
SO THE IDEA IS, THE ITEMS THAT
BRING YOU JOY ARE THE ONLY
ITEMS YOU ARE KEEPING.
AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO
CONSTANTLY SEE THEM, SO WHEN
YOU OPEN YOUR DRAWER, YOU SAW
IN MICHELLE'S EXAMPLE, YOU CAN
SEE ALL THE ITEMS AND PICK
RATHER THAN GOING LIKE THIS,
LIKE WE ALL DO.
SO I POSTED ABOUT THIS, SO MANY
OF YOU SAY YOU EITHER HAVE DONE
IT, OR YOU ARE STARTING TO DO
IT BECAUSE OF THE BOOK.
JESSE SAYS, I'VE BEEN TRYING,
BUT IT TAKES LONGER BECAUSE I'M
AT HOME CARING FOR A BABY.
WE TOTALLY GET IT.
FUNNY THING IS, I WANTED TO DE-
CLUTTER MY OWN LIFE, SO I
STARTED MY OWN PROCESS, SHE
JUST MAKES IT CUTE, WHICH IS
WHAT I LOVE.
A LOT OF YOU ARE SHARING.
HERE IS ANOTHER POST, IT IS
SOMETHING PEOPLE ARE REALLY
USING.
USING.
USING. YOU ASKED EARLY, SHE MENTIONED
PUTTING EVERYTHING INTO A PILE.
THAT IS THE KEY.
YOU GO INTO YOUR CLOSET, YOU
TAKE EVERYTHING OUT, AND PUT
ALL OF YOUR CLOTHING INTO A
PILE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM.
SO YOU ARE FORCED TO LOOK AT IT
WITH A FRESH PERSPECTIVE.>> I
LOVE IT.
LOVE IT.
LOVE IT. WHAT IF IT BRINGS YOU JOY BUT
NOT AT THE SAME TIME?
>> THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT IS A
COUNSELOR TYPE OF THING.
>> THINK ABOUT THIS,
