The Clutter Fairy Weekly #124
The Work of Tidying: The KonMari Method in Philosophy and Practice 3
Marie Kondo made a huge impact on the organizing world with bestselling books, two Netflix series, and an unconventional approach to “tidying.” Her once-and-for-all method with its emphasis on handling categories in a prescribed order has made her a star—but it doesn’t seem to work for everyone. In episode #124 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, wraps up our examination of the work of Marie Kondo in conversation with audience members who’ve tried the KonMari Method.
