#2 in New York Emily Newhouse Tidy Up with KonMari NHK

My name is Kumari, this is Maddie, a condo, also known as kanmani, a cleaning consultant from Japan, her book, the life-changing magic of cleaning, and its sequels, have been published in 42 countries and regions and More than 6.5 million copies of his cleaning method have been sold. Keeping only things that spark joy has fascinated readers around the world and, above all, has caused a phenomenal sensation in the United States. How many of you have actually practiced the Collodi method of decluttering? I'm glad to see that many of you have practiced it. I'm a big fan of Tumblr, yes, because I'm also a big fan of the organization, but I've never, ever had success like this.

It's not written down in any way, it was easy to understand, it's easy to follow. I learned about the Konmari method and started applying it. That's why I donated about 10 bags full of things. I also went on YouTube and watched it with the bowling I started. I've already started things differently, so that's been a big help. I live here in New York so my apartment is very small so the book was very healthy now with mati she has flown to New York to teach her method in person she is going to help people who can't continue tithing this time her client en Emily who lives alone

tidy

ing up her apartment with mati for a day Emily learns the method with mati with mati is going to Japan promising to return in two weeks how much can Emily

tidy

up alone by the time Kamati returns?

It's a challenge, one thing to never forget is that we now order with kanmani. In New York I have always been interested in tidying up and I dedicated my life to it since I was five years old, however, as I have studied the art of tidying up all this time, I am convinced that anyone can do it and I am also convinced that your life can shine much more once you finish squeezing. I think things can build up naturally before you realize it. I want people to start by decluttering to realize what is really important to them.

The most important part of the mati method is ordering. not from one room to another but by category the order also matters the key is to improve your sensitivity to know what sparks unite you starting with the things that are easiest to organize first the clothes are easy to go through because you know clearly what you like and I don't like it, second easiest are books and papers, then kimono, poor Miss Ellen II, including stationary electronics and kitchen utensils, lastly sentimental items which are harder to sort. This is the order that Cole Mati recommends. Hi my name is Emily.

I bought the khawarij book last year and it was great. and I started and went through three categories and then I stopped and now I really need help. Emily, who lives in a one-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn, already has some experience with the mati method. His only roommate is a cat named officer, at least for At the moment I work at a media company, I do short film acquisitions, I can do it from home, in fact, I do it right on this couch and I'm also working for develop a career as an actor so I would say my main goal in ordering is to have a studio and it turns out that right around the time I was doing this I met a wonderful man and now we are going to live together hopefully in July and just to have a beautiful place, she takes photographs to report it.

Progress on the cleanup required money. It's actually one of my favorite rooms in my apartment. In fact, I've already started the Kotemari method. I started with my clothes and as you can see, there is a lot of space. This is my bookshelf. In fact, he had. I made the khawarij. method in my books the third part I think the Kumari method was paper and I had a hard time with this this is just a corner of my apartment that is messy oh how embarrassing now I'm going to take a photo of the place where I think I probably need more help this is my closet here we go I don't know looking at this closet it makes me want to cry this is the room where I have the biggest problem this isn't even a room because there's you I can't do anything here I really want this to be a studio this is it this is it what i have this room has things from childhood for example this is a pom pom and it was like the one i slept with when i was a baby oh sorry or in the plastic bag help me since apparently she has been tidying up using my method.

I'm not worried about the parts she already ordered, however, there is still a very heavy burden left in terms of sentimental items. so I think we should spend more time working on this category than any other. Okay, now we need to keep this welcome apartment and start tidying up. Well, I had seen a little bit of a video or I saw her do it, so I knew I was going to do it. Do it, it was really nice, although I guess I felt like they were starting this process together. What would your ideal life be like after you finished decluttering?

I sat down and need two drawings as a little reading corner, so why is it important? For drawing, if you know where you want to be, you can stay very motivated and it will help you a lot to move forward in what we are going to do, which is to organize to make your ideals a reality, since for Jeru, here you will really need them. to find specific items that spark joy in you, like furniture and curtains, so during this lesson on decluttering with me, why don't we tidy up what you have now and make room to put it away?

This is my bookshelf, what do you think of my bookshelf to put it in the word excellent in the closet and my closet used to have a lot more clothes. I got rid of four bags, about two bags were donated and then I sold two bags because they were so nice to donate or sell things. I don't need it of course, it's a very good solution instead of just throwing things away. I did kumari folding method. Nice shirt and it's very hopeful. I know it's not perfect, but what do you think in terms of how you organize them?

I think they will. they look even smaller if you fold them and arrange them a little differently if you put them this side, the folds facing up, all that alone will make them look a lot neater, turn them over, yeah, that's cute, oh , that looks much better. It's like the song I Think Socks Should Be Together. Socks can be sorted instantly like this. Well, socks are like any other clothing. You could keep folding them and placing them on the edge. You make a lot of space. Look, you have socks here. Also, your socks are small, there are a lot of things, you just go crazy, here we go, you don't have a pair, I see, are they somewhere in the apartment or are they gone forever? these yes, probably not, in that case there is no point in staying with the individual socks, no, thanks for being so sexy on my feet, thanks, there is much more room exactly and this is when oh, here we go umm, when I wear clothes In winter, I usually use the same one a little more. and over and over again, so I don't really feel the need to have them all visible.

Now I will help you put the things in this drawer, but if you find something that doesn't sparkle, join me, please pick it up. oh, okay, I'm ready, this is like one of those things where I mean, it doesn't spark joy, but it's a really good scarf, it's really warm, if you're not sure if it should be here in the first place, that's it A sign that you should let it go When did you last use it? you can never clarify what is really important to you by storing the remaining things that bring you joy so that you can see it you can sharpen your senses to classify things by doing it correctly so that you can see it easily they this is my room crazy crazy crazy this is things of the high school this is like high school homework this is like a piece of art this is where all my notebooks are from every year of my life it's not like I have to get rid of them all naturally we'll go through them at the end because they're full of memories, but we will follow the process of keeping only what is really necessary for you, what really brings you joy so that you don't have to think that you should throw them away.

Don't worry Scott, a thing has three types of value, a functional value, an informational value and an emotional value, when these three values ​​are multiplied by rarity, it becomes very difficult to throw something away. Sentimental items are among those things that are particularly difficult to throw away. away due to their rarity, so it's best to collect them all and deal with them last. So far your clothes were fine, they weren't in good condition and your books were fine too, so why don't we take care of the rest of the papers and then take care of the Coleman, oh yes, it's very difficult, the way I see it, you have good overall balance and storage, so you can do it.

I think it will take a long time. I'm worried I'll try it. Yeah, let's drive, okay? Put the papers in order. This is an empty notebook that we can use. I like to keep everyone's business cards. I remember this guy. These were all roles that required some type of action and I simply haven't taken those actions. Yes, everything is in progress. Wow, papers. You haven't had a chance to deal with our raw papers yet, so I recommend making a place for the raw papers and keeping them there. We have successfully sorted the remaining papers that were piling up.

These things are sentimental items, so we will return them. where they belong, these are raw papers, so in this layout, if you stack them, you won't see that they are unprocessed and you will never deal with them anyway, so I recommend keeping the raw paper standing. Now we are going to sort the kimono, since all the kimonos are basically here we will tackle the things that are in here we will take everything out at once and go through them by category this is how we do it we have taken everything out of the closet and we have sorted them by category let's start by going over these Electronic components are very violent with my cables.

This is a cable that I can use on my old computer. Do you ever use it? No, if you think of something, it could be abuse, please try it, let me check, we can get rid of it, thank you. I think this can be thrown in the trash because like Jesus, he loves to accept energy and we are even checking my electronic devices. You know, when she was very calmly asking, well, you have three, how many do you need? It's not about right or wrong or good or bad or whether this is nice, I think it helps to have someone there because my thoughts can interfere with the process, she has a very warm energy.

I think when I do this myself I can get very dramatic about it. It's like I couldn't, you know, I would have been crying because that's so overwhelming, it's so hard. I really like this jewelry designer a lot, but he stopped making jewelry. I want to fix this. In that case, I have no qualms about doing it. keep it no problem oh okay okay I like these I just don't wear them I don't wear them they're not comfortable if you have something like this that you like but don't wear, let's think of a way to say it It was very helpful when he took my earrings and put them in the hangers, which was amazing for me because I have jewelry that I really like, but it still brings me joy and the idea that I can find little places to put it. they are really very cute, yes, I like it, that's really what makes me very happy, oh my god, it looks amazing, we have arranged the kimono we wear today like this, this is just temporary, by the way, we will continue to order like this and in the end we could arrange them differently but for now this is how we have arranged it okay then I will see you again soon see you soon see you soon I feel like singing okay mascara mascara I just trust the process and like she says it took years figuring this out as if I had done a lot of trial and error, where is the pile where there was a gift meal?

Plus, all that food was practically expired, since I just want to make it. I don't want that space to be empty. absorbed by these things it's like I've come too far to stop and I really want that room so I think it's a great motivation that I like in the flow now and it makes it easier to tackle the nostalgia and memories photos part . Well, one of the reasons I cried was because I was reading about I'm Jewish and I Had a Bat Mitzvah and I found these like letters that my parents had written to me, I guess as part of that process and I didn't remember them.

Writing them and me just reading them and they were so moving and so sweet, they're really moving. One of the best experiences I've had is like rediscovering myself, rediscovering what I loved to do or what my talents are and I like to see that that's a big part of me. Hi Kumari, so today I made my cleaning supplies, made my DVDs and made my art supplies. It is in no way unusual that you inevitably get emotional and cry. Starting to flow down just shows that you're really coming to grips with your own belongings, so if those emotions arise while you're decluttering, it's important to enjoy them fully;

In general, people tend to work faster and are more motivated to order if they enjoy emotions like I'm unreservedly very nervous, I know I shouldn't be because I know she's a sweet and wonderful person, but I'm nervous because we've arrived tothese categories very emotional and yes it will be emotional I guess some of the photos you worked really hard to sort thank you it's been hard but it's been really amazing so this place should really spark joy thanks to this beautiful closet I'm I'm sure you remember, you've kept it very tidy, oh, it's become super. neat, yeah I know, cool, Joe, my boyfriend is moving there.

It's so nice to know there's room for it in my closet. Well, you gave me this idea, oh great. I learned. I put these in, we'll see how it works, but I put them in. some earrings that I like in my gratitude, yes I know they are so pretty. I went through my DVDs, which was really surprising because they used to be in these drawers and these are empty now this here what happened to that madness uh oh it's really cool now yeah pretty awesome so basically this is everything I've been through and then I'm saving it and this is something I still have to review.

You weren't very difficult if you figured all this out. Thank you. Now let's go over the remaining sentimental things. It's just hard because I don't know. I went to fashion school and went for two. years in fashion school and then decided not to pursue fashion, so it's strange to see these things. You know, when it comes to sorting sentimental items, the customer already knows what to do, so I usually give them time to deal with the problem. items on your own rather than telling them something as a consultant, so it's very important for me personally not to say anything at this point now that you've completed the final lesson.

Thanks, it was the last one with you, but I have more. There's a lot left to do, so if you did that much today, I guarantee you'll finish it, I want to do it, yes, in a nice centerpiece in her clean apartment, yes, this is Maria's condo, amazing, oh no, the sign Joe. I would like to. to thank you for helping Emily clean out this apartment because now there will be room for me to move in when you swear your ideal life at the beginning Joe is part of this, wasn't he? I see my curls yes, it's good to know in conclusion how Do you feel exhausted now?

I'm happy, excited to continue and a little sad, but I really want to finish everything. Enjoying your own emotions that you experienced while tithing is a very important process, so complete the tithing process. With that experience in mind, Kumari herself sparks joy, it's like she is in the joy spark section of the people in my life. Wow, yeah, and I think we're going to do it.
