Rule 1: Commit Yourself to Tidying Up

The KonMari Method™ is not a quick fix for a messy room or a once-in-a-while approach to tidying.  It’s a chance to reset your entire life – but only if you commit to following its principles.

Setting the intention to seriously tidy up – and resolving to put in the time and effort required – is the first rule of tidying.  When you approach your tidying festival with a clear vision and a can-do attitude, you’ll find the energy and motivation you need to tidy all of your belongings in one go.

The effort will be worth it in the end.  Not only will you experience the joy of living with objects you love, but you’ll also be on the path to establishing your ideal lifestyle.
