Tidying a bit at a time never works.
KonMari Method is decluttering with a minimalism-inspired approach to tackling tidying your home.
Committing yourself to tidy up by going through your entire house, category by category rather than room-by-room.
The key question you need to ask yourself while decluttering is “Does it spark joy?” This is a phrase commonly heard while watching Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. If it does not spark joy get rid of it.
