Marie Kondo 

Marie Kondo is a Japanese organizing consultant and author who has gained international fame for her KonMari Method of tidying up and organizing. Kondo’s approach to decluttering and organizing focuses on only keeping items that “spark joy” and letting go of those that do not. She has written several books on the subject, including “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up,” which has been published in multiple languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide.

Kondo’s method involves going through all of one’s possessions, category by category, and deciding which items to keep and which to discard. She encourages people to be mindful of their possessions and to only keep things that they truly love and use. Kondo also emphasizes the importance of properly storing and organizing the items that are kept, in order to create a more peaceful and functional living space.

Kondo’s approach has been met with both praise and criticism. Some people have found her method to be extremely helpful in simplifying their lives and creating a more organized and peaceful environment, while others have found it to be overly extreme or lacking in practicality. Regardless of one’s personal feelings about Kondo and her method, it is clear that she has had a significant impact on the way that many people think about decluttering and organizing their homes.
