Show notes

More than just tidying, we unpack the spirit of the 'Konmari Method'. We discuss ideas such as: what items spark joy, restoring balance in one's personal space, letting go of the past, fear of the future, and the deeper meanings of the connections we have with our possessions. We also explore the wider implications of a balanced environment, and how tidying can harness our decision-making ability and our intuition about what's truly important.

Hope you enjoy.
