THE LIFE-CHANGING MAGIC OF TIDYING UP

Marie Kondo introduces the KonMari Method as more than a tidying technique—it is a way to reflect on your life, refine your sense of values, and prioritize what truly matters. She discusses how tidying up transforms your mindset, cultivates gratitude and leads to a more intentional and joyful life.

FINDING JOY AT WORK

Marie Kondo believes that recognizing what sparks joy in your daily tasks is the key to a fulfilling work life. By listing all your responsibilities and identifying which ones bring energy or satisfaction, you can begin to prioritize what truly matters. This simple yet powerful shift in awareness helps create a more focused, joyful, and meaningful career.
