FAQ

WHAT ARE THE STEPS TO TAKE AFTER I DECIDE TO KONMARI™️ MY SPACE?

First step is the phone consultation we will have, when we'll get the chance to see if we can work together, what your goals are (timewise also) and your budget.

Then we'll commit to getting things done according to plan, we'll address the items by categories (clothes, books, papers, komono and sentimental items)
Every item will go through your joy radar (should joy be too abstract, there's plenty of practical exercise to help in that aspect) and what is kept will find a home; what not, will be gratefully discarded.
We'll finish discarding before moving on to any kind of arrangements.

DO I NEED TO PREPARE IN ANY WAY FOR THE FIRST SESSION?

In short, no to cleaning and yes to your vision. Seeing your home as it usually is helps us better understand the situation. At the same time, think about your ideal lifestyle/ home, to discuss them at our first meeting. Knowing your goal makes it all easier.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM THE FIRST SESSION?

We will take the first 20 minutes to discuss the above and then dive straight into the first category, clothing.

HOW LONG IS THE USUAL SESSION?

In order to be able to see some progress, you should expect a minimum 3 hours. Usually between 4 to 5 hours is the optimal time to spend.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO FINISH THE PROCESS?

This aspect really depends on you, the amount of things you have and also how fast/ comfortable you are in taking the keep/ discard decisions.

IS IT NECESSARY TO KEEP THE ORDER OF THE 5 CATEGORIES?

The reason behind the method is that you build up confidence as you progress. Clothes can be an easy category to handle as first: they are definitely a big part of how you start your day and setting the general mood, so you quickly learn to decide what sparks joy.

DOES KONMARI™️ MEAN MINIMALISM? WILL YOU MAKE ME THROW AWAY MY STUFF?

Unlike minimalism, where "less is more" is the main idea, KonMari™️ is about choosing to surround yourself with things that bring you joy and that fuel your inner desire to fulfill your vision.

HOW DO I HANDLE MY PARTNER/ SPOUSE/ KIDS WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING?

The sessions are conducted on a one to one basis and the tidying festival is a personal choice and journey. We will ensure that nothing will be enforced upon them should they not wish and mention why this is important to you, so that the respect is mutual.
