That is probably the most important thing we have learned in this process: quitting the impulse purchases. But the systems that we created remains, and most importantly, we want to keep it that way and overall not bring new things into our home that we don’t really need or value. However, our pantry needs a proper decluttering soon, and also it’s not like everything is placed perfectly within our cabinets and drawers either! In a busy daily life there will always be some things that need to be put back in their right place regularly. So are we still in control of our clutter? To that I can only say yes – we certainly are. So again use the method as a tool but customize it to suit your own life and preferences. In addition, something may have a high value for me personally, but means nothing for others. That way, I can manage to keep my wardrobe looking tidy and inspiring. Instead, I hang my clothes on hangers because it works better for me in a busy day to day life. For example, I’m not a fan of the way Marie Kondo recommends folding clothes, simply because I don’t want to spend that much time folding my clothes. It will never be a checklist for what to keep and what to discard, because we are all different.
And then it’s important that you just look at the method as a tool. Besides, it is quite important that both parties subsequently know in which cabinets and drawers your newly organized stuff can be found, to make sure that the order will remain even after finishing the process.
I think it’s important that you do this together not to force your personal values upon the other (there must be room for both of you!) but because you learn so much in the process and it’s just a good way to start the new lifestyle.
My husband and I did this together because we both had an interest in starting this new lifestyle with a clean slate. And for that, the Konmari method was a very helpful tool. So even though I fel like I was succeeding in area, I still wanted to start fresh in the rest of the house too. I have been running the capsule wardrobe system for several years, but this limits me to my interest in fashion and style. Let’s take a look at the physical clutter first, since it was here we started. I like to divide the word clutter into two: we can surround ourselves with physical clutter and, in particular, there can be relationships, jobs, habits and other more unmanageable factors that in one way or another takes up too much space in our lives. Har det været nemmere at forfølge drømmen om en simplere livsstil med mere livskvalitet efterfølgende, hvordan går det med at leve mere bæredygtigt og ikke mindst formår vi stadig, at holde orden i vores hjem? Jeg tænkte derfor det ville være passende med et tilbageblik på, hvordan det er gået for os siden. Det er på mange måder første spadestik til et mere bæredygtigt og balanceret liv. Kort fortalt handler det om, at man gennemgår og endevender hele sit hus (og liv generelt), skiller sig af med de ting der ikke tilfører en reel værdi til dit liv og altså sætter det resterende i system.
Det kan du læse meget mere om i mit indlæg (med tilhørende video-guide) lige HER. Således greb vi altså oprydningen an ved hjælp af Konmari metoden. Det kom sig af, at jeg havde læst bogen “ The life-changing magic of tidying up” af Marie Kondo. Has it been easier to pursue the dream of a simpler lifestyle with more joy, how is living more sustainably going for us and not least do we still manage to keep our home organised and clutter free?ĭe af jer som har fulgt mig ihvertfald det sidste år, kan måske huske at min mand og jeg lavede en grundig oprydning i hele huset. So because it’s exactly one year ago we went through this, I thought it would be interesting to have a look back at how things have been going since. It is in many ways the first bite of the apple in terms of living a more sustainable and balanced life. In short, the Konmari method is about going through everything you have in your home (and life in general), disregarding the things that no longer add real value to your life (spark joy, to use Marie Kondo’s own term) and reorganise everything that remains. You can read much more about that in my blogpost (including a video guide of the process) right here. After reading that book, we started the process using the Konmari method. It was because I had read the book “ The life-changing magic of tidying up” by Marie Kondo. Those of you who have followed me at least the past year may remember, that my husband and I went thorough a massive declutter throughout the house exactly one year ago.
