Marie Kondo has launched a digital tidying course teaching the basics of her unique KonMari Method to the world.
The professional organiser and decluttering guru will personally guide you from start to finish in the 10-episode course, which can be booked for £29.93.
The KonMari Method Fundamentals of Tidying is described as a 'life-changing course' where Marie 'teaches you how to defeat clutter and discover what sparks joy'. By learning virtually, you can simply go at your own pace and watch it at home or on the go, whatever suits.
Marie, best-selling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and star of Emmy-nominated Netflix TV series, Tidying Up With Marie Kondo, said the course will teach you everything you need to know, from folding techniques to storage solutions.
'I've been enchanted with tidying since I was five years old. Throughout my childhood, I read everything I could about storage and organisation; at the end of the day, I’d rush home from school with a new plan for tidying my room...but the clutter always came back,' Marie wrote on Instagram.
'So I devised my own system. The KonMari Method™ is a practical guide to tidying. The most essential aspect of the method is that you decide what to keep based on whether or not it "sparks joy" for you. Then you give each of those items a home. It’s that simple – yet it can yield profound results!
'Rather than a dreaded task, I see tidying as a celebration. It’s an act of gratitude for the items that support you every day – and the first step to living the life you’ve always wanted. It is my hope that this course will help you to create a bright and joyful future!'
Elements of the course include making a tidying plan, and learning how to declutter and organise clothes, books, paperwork, miscellaneous items and sentimental pieces. A KonMari Method workbook is included as a bonus. For more information and to book the course, visit learn.konmari.com.
