Benefits associated with tidying up the KonMari way extend well beyond reducing the amount of time it takes for you to get out the door in the morning or the amount of clutter you stumble over on a daily basis. If we dig a bit deeper, there is a reason the KonMari Method™ is cloaked in “life-changing magic.” The action of tidying your home impacts every aspect of your life and how you prioritize your time and energy. Once you’ve handled the external clutter, the process often uncovers other areas of your life, emotions, or bad habits that need your time and attention. So the next time you view tidying as an “I’ll get to it some day,” non-mission critical activity, consider the following benefits of a tidy home:
