In this Master Course, Marie Kondo gives more detailed instructions on how to fold, organize and categorize.
From Chapter I: Honing your sensitivity to joy:
Tidying is the act of confronting yourself; cleaning is the act of confronting nature.
If you don’t know what brings you joy, start with things close to your heart.
“It might come in handy” is taboo.
For essential things that don’t bring joy, look at what they do for you.
Don’t confuse temporary clutter with rebound.
No matter how cluttered it looks, don’t pause, don’t stop, don’t quit.
If you were terrible at tidying, you’ll experience the most dramatic change.
