This isn't something that I always do, but when the opportunity does come up, I envision each person that I know and try to write down reflections about the relationship I have with them to sort of get in touch with myself.
When I need to organize my mental space I use a plain, blank piece of paper and just jot everything down to see what I'm struggling with, and what I’m hoping to attain. When you're considering your social relationships, it’s still important to consider your ideal: are you trying to achieve a vast network of associations, or are you craving alone time? Perhaps you want a few, very rich relationships? Then reflect on the relationships you have now, not just with your family and your loved ones, but with your colleagues as well. The KonMari Method asks us to do that with physical things, often prompting us to do the same with unhealthy thoughts and memories as well. But it’s important to take inventory and look at the things that no longer serve you in that life. It can be so easy to get in our own heads and dwell on the past versus envisioning the life we want in the future. “After 2020, I realized that it was time to challenge myself and the method further,” says the 36-year-old, who turns executive consultant in an effort to help small business owners-a family-owned garden center, a boutique coffee shop-go outside their comfort zones to tidy up their operations, as well as improve the interpersonal relationships that surround them. “Sparking Joy,” the organizational psychologist-turned-bestselling author, entrepreneur, educator, and television star’s new series for Netflix, debuts on Tuesday and will feature Kondo working her KonMari magic outside of the home. Starting next week, the sound of Kondo’s delicate hand striking a crystal with a tuning fork to energetically clear a space will become a similarly ubiquitous mental device. Her distillation of Japanese organizational methods is so ingrained, that whenever I contemplate which items to keep and which need to go during a long-overdue closet purge-an “intermittent decluttering” that goes against Kondo’s advice of investing in more of a once-in-a-lifetime purge-the same four words cross my mind: Does it spark joy? Marie Kondo’s firm grip on our subconscious is an impressive feat rarely achieved in pop culture.
