What is it that most people do wrong now?
<\/strong>\u201cDue to a lack of structure, people often lose the overview at home. They usually own a lot of things that don\u2019t necessarily support their lifestyle, but that are actually obstructing it. This causes noise. And that absorbs energy. We\u2019re constantly saying goodbye to jobs or relationships, but it seems like saying goodbye to stuff is more difficult for us. On the other hand, we\u2019re constantly encouraged to buy things.\u201d<\/p>

Can you tell us something about the Marie Kondo philosophy?
<\/strong>\u201cMarie Kondo\u2019s philosophy is all about \u2018decluttering\u2019. When people want to tidy their homes, they usually buy large storage containers to store their belongings. But essentially that\u2019s just moving stuff. Me and my customers start by determining the goal for their tidying and how this will contribute to their desired lifestyles. Tidying is just a means. The question is: why do you want to tidy up? Why is this something that\u2019s necessary right now? And then we start tidying per category, not per room. All items are collected in one place. This can already be very confronting, because sometimes people have so many clothes that the piles touch the ceiling. The starting point for the selection is not \u2018what has to go?\u2019, but \u2018what would you like to keep?\u2019. Which items contribute to the lifestyle you desire? One exercise that often helps is to pick three items per category that bring you happiness. Marie Kondo calls them spark joy items. These items help you to choose from within, not from ratio. Because you can think of reasons (excuses) to keep something for pretty much every item. We want to work towards the life you dream of and you can achieve this by parting with things that don\u2019t contribute to that goal.\u201d<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
