So you've been called the tidiest woman in the world.
And at what point, how old were you when you realized you would be the tiniest,
not tiniest- >> [LAUGH]
>> Yes.
>> [LAUGH] >> She's tiny.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> You're not the tiniest woman in the world.
>> Yeah.
>> There are other people that are tinier.
>> Yeah.
>> [LAUGH] >> [FOREIGN]
>> When did you realize.
[LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE]
>> [FOREIGN]
>> Yeah, I know, that's what I said.
>> [LAUGH] >> So the tidiest woman in the world.
What age were you when you realized you'd do this?
>> [FOREIGN] >> Mm.
>> [LAUGH] >> I started working as a tidying and
organizing consultant when I was 19 years old.
>> Okay, and people wait months and months for you to go to their house and
help them, right?
>> [FOREIGN] >> The longest was six months wait list.
>> Wow!
There's a lot of messy people out there?
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah.
>> [FOREIGN] >> So
Spark Joy is the name of your new book.
And what is Spark Joy?
>> [FOREIGN] >> One
of the important things of my method is to only keep thing that spark joy for you.
So I'm going to demo it, how it works.
>> Okay. >> [FOREIGN]
>> So when you touch thing that sparks joy
for you, this is what's going to happen.
>> [SOUND] >> Your body perks up a little bit like
this.
>> Spark joy!
>> This is spark joy.
>> That's one of my t-shirts, I'm glad it's sparking joy.
>> [LAUGH] >> All right.
>> [FOREIGN] >> On the other hand, when you find
something that doesn't spark joy for you- >> [SOUND]
>> You feel all heavy like your
body is falling.
>> That's my skirt.
>> [LAUGH] >> [LAUGH] Sorry.
>> That's okay.
>> [FOREIGN] >> All right, so you really feel,
you can feel if you touch something, that you wanna keep it or not keep it.
>> [FOREIGN] >> So,
when you touch something, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Cuz your body will respond to it.
>> [LAUGH] >> Spark joy?
>> Yes.
>> Does it spark joy for you?
>> Yes, this is actually Augie.
>> Aw.
>> That's my dog, Augie.
>> [FOREIGN] >> [LAUGH]
>> Okay, so how do we fold, I mean,
I know how I'd fold.
You want me to show you how I fold?
>> [FOREIGN]
>> [FOREIGN] >> I do this, that, and this,
is that okay? >> [FOREIGN]
>> No.
>> [LAUGH]
>> That's good for anybody else.
>> [LAUGH]
>> [FOREIGN]
>> So before anything else, make sure you
put [INAUDIBLE] love through your palms. >> Love
[INAUDIBLE] palms.
>> Ooh.
>> [LAUGH] >> Aah!
Okay, perfect.
>> [LAUGH] [APPLAUSE]
>> [SOUND].
This seems to take much longer.
>> Yes.
>> Okay.
>> But love slows things down a little
bit. >> That's right, That's right.
>> [LAUGH]
>> [FOREIGN]
>> She's trying to compress it.
>> That'll be good.
>> That's good.
>> [LAUGH]
>> How-
>> [FOREIGN]
>> What's your question?
>> How is that different from what Ellen
did? >> [FOREIGN]
>> She's not done.
>> [FOREIGN] >> Is she cursing at me?
>> [LAUGH] >> So when you fold clothes,
you fold both sides towards the center, and then fold it in half.
And then from there, you fold it in thirds, like this.
>> Okay, and then you keep it this way, not stacked, right?
>> [FOREIGN] >> [FOREIGN]
>> So once you're done folding,
it should stand up on its own, like this.
>> It should stand up on its own?
>> Uh-huh, yes.
>> [LAUGH] >> [FOREIGN]
>> And then you store them
upright like this.
>> I see, okay, so Andy wants us to, how do we do socks?
Cuz, whoa, those are tiny.
>> [FOREIGN] >> [LAUGH]
>> She said, you just fold them in
half, like this.
>> Everything has to stand up?
>> And it should stand on its own, yep.
>> Well, I think the bigger problem is if you have [INAUDIBLE] socks.
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah, no, okay, so.
>> [LAUGH] >> It's wonderful.
