I'm doing the konmari method in my home and reading her books, one interesting change is how nice I suddenly am to others and I honestly think it's her spirit coming through the book and teaching me to be kind.
@@ranabhola for me.. Its not just happy... Its more deeper. The spirit she taught was simple, but strongly affected in our daily life. We wont understand till we practice her method. Its different.
Cause her system is one and done. You're not torturing yourself with in depth housekeeping over and over. Just normal touching up. Focusing on what you like too.
It sounds like she’s saying a lot more than what’s subtitled at times? Especially the first part where she says “discard everything.” Anyone that knows Japanese know if I’m wrong or not?
Japanese is very very wordy, and mostly the subtitles are OK. However they leave out an entire sentence at the end of the "discard everything" part. I think she's saying something like: "As paper is very thin, it's easy to fool yourself, telling yourself: 'ahh, this amount should be fine, right?' ".
That’s just how Japanese works. Sometimes long sentences in English can be said in just a few words in Japanese. Sometimes short sentences in English can take miles to say in Japanese. Just as an example, say someone is talking about going out to lunch with friends. You might ask them “Was Marie with you guys?” in English, but it can be as simple as saying “Marie wa?” in workplace-safe Japanese. Conversely, a sentence like “I was studying at that library.” in English becomes the longer and more convoluted “Ano toushoukan de benkyou-shite-imashita” in workplace-safe Japanese. Lovely language, it is.
You guessed right. Subtitles are almost always shorter than what is really said because reading takes time. But in this case, the translator over-did the job. What Marie really said is like this. "I mean, not literally zero(leave nothing at all), but rather, set the primary goal which is discarding everything, and then ask yourself if there is anything you want to keep. That's the important thing; to choose what you really want to keep when tidying paper materials because paper is thin therefore you tend to keep more than what you really need." Note: that Japanese is very very wordy is plain wrong.
@@coreymoncure479 Japanese can be short if you are being very casual (or rude). If you're polite like in this context, then sentences tend to become elaborate and long.
I wish l loved folding. Usually I'm pissed off cuz l know I'm folding it all n making it neat but husband will come n quickly destroy it. I love her soft voice. It's very soothing.
then again, in one episode Sheldon did something like this for Howard's closet. He organized a horrific mess into a perfect closet and did it like a pro. Maybe they could be partners?
If those earing have any gold on them take them in to a pawn shop and sell them.. I found a broken gold chain in a jewelry box I purchased for 5 dollars. I got 85.00 for that broken chain lol. She's right get rid of all of it ( not literally in your) head) you should have a small decorative box with very important papers family picture phone numbers addresses. That you can grab and run in case of fire..
You can use plastic containers or boxes or draw separators and routinely put things in the box area of the draw it belongs in, I found more designated places for many items previously in my bedside table. It depends on your storage situation.
Marie I would love for you to redo my closet space I have a tiny closet it not big enough for me cuz my Cuz my grandmother has a small tiny closet space it was built by my grandfather until she passway I'm living with my parents and my father's died with a massive heart attacks they found out that he has cancer around his kidneys and liver cancer it was to far gone for a kidney transplant and liver transplant too now my mom is the only one who is striving right now
She doesn't "love folding". If she "loved folding" she would be at home folding. She is a very smart lady that has books, a Netflix deal and "surrogates". She loves selling her brand and her brand is selling "love folding".
Hey guys! I’m currently working with MysticArt Pictures to cast the exciting new series, “Organize the World with Marie Kondo”! For the show, we are looking for people who would love the chance to work with Marie to transform their home, and spark a personal transformation inside and out! If you are interested in learning more, or would like to refer someone for the show, please message me on here or shoot me an email at jared@mysticartpictures.net. Thanks!
Katie, do you understand Japanese? I say, if you don`t use it, lose it. Pics, collectibles, and important documents are ok. Old but good clothes, toys, books, just donate to thrift stores.
In the KM-method, you do the things you are emotional about last. When you are on a roll, sort of. When you understand better and have learnt how to say good-bye to things and be really happy about what you do have. But the tip about saving it electronic I agree with, it helped me part with things I wanted to keep&remember but didnt in truth need to keep in its original form.
I'm also very sentimental! I tell myself that I dont need objects that hold memories, I can hold them myself. I just got rid of my grandmother's things this way. I dont need blankets or jewelry to remember her love, I will always remember.
She looks like the stereotypical conservative Japanese wife to you? That's probably because you are the stereotypical biased parson about Japanese wives.lol If you understand Japanese, you'll soon notice her speech very professional, clear, convincing, even powerful(and has a good sense of humor too), yet not arrogant, and that she is not any typical or an average person at all.
She’s not. Well...She could if she wants to but considering that she started her business at age 19, she most likely wanted to be a “Kyariauman” (Japanese for career woman). Stereotypical Japanese wives don’t work and stay at home. Marie is a successful author, speaker, and businesswoman. She probably earns more than her husband since her net worth is $8 million.
Yet she had to quit because she had a child Kondo is a hypothetical joke. Another lazy girl😂This woman is a fraud and phoney!!!! Most of you idiots fell for a stereotype the Japanese love!!! 😂😂😂
Everytime she says "pour love into your shirts" I think she's really thinking "pour out your pockets, stupid Americans." We really do buy into the most ridiculous things.
@ Matt G is joking right, right? Mr. “500k choices of RUclips video content & I chose Marie Kondo doing Katie Couric” to watch. So of course he’s kidding, yes?

Marie is LITERALLY a fairy that tidies houses. Thank you, God.
Yea 😂
Being able to understand japanese makes every Marie Kondo video at least 200% better
Then you should know Japanese homes are not not free of clutter!!!! Why is everyone and idiot??
Marie Kondo is so gentle and kind, I love her.
I utilized her folding technique for my socks,and I have more space in my drawer than before.
Two of my favourite and very lovely people. Katie
I feel like this is one of the best videos featuring Marie...so thank you for filming and uploading it :)
I can see why Couric has a podcast, I really love her voice, it's so satisfying! XD /gen
Gotta love the Emmy Award just chilling on the top shelf of Couric's closet!
Isn't marie the cuttest little thing?
Yes, she is 😍
Yup she most certainly is!
ASMR in a cheesy way
How little is she???? Lol
It says she's 5'4 online but katie is 5'3....hrm..
@@suzie5813 According to an article in Japanese, she's 4'10 (1.47m)
Marie’s voice is just ASMR 😍
"Throw everything out. Then pick what you really need or want..."
major take away from this video :)
SHE IS ADORABLE.
I have been organizing like this for years......my mother showed me
Oh, she is so cute! I have just read her book and now decluttering my things. It is definitely not easy but very rewarding!

Ok, about to tackle my clothes... wish me luck!!
good luck laura, may the spirit of MK bless your declutter, lol
Good luck!
I mean no disrespect, she is very good at what she does but I find myself distracted by her cuteness. She is so precious.
This shows u can actually put ur OCD to good use.
Katie Couric’s closet is the size of my bedroom.
Haha that's what I was thinking!
which makes me glad i don't have a closet that size.
I can fit my entire apartment in her closet.
I'd like to see Marie Kondo do this to Sheldon Cooper: he'd kill her (or have a heart attack) lol
😂😂😂
then again, in one episode Sheldon did something like this for Howard's closet. He organized a horrific mess into a perfect closet and did it like a pro. Maybe they could be partners?
Sheldon would actually respect her
Katie’s closet is the size of my house. Ummm, that distracts me from the point of the video. I love Marie, she’s amazing.
I guess her method is good for small houses ! My last 2 flats were tiny
She's Japanese! I just love the way Japanese people speak

Is there any other alternative beside storing the clothes on drawer?
You can use plastic containers or boxes or draw separators and routinely put things in the box area of the draw it belongs in, I found more designated places for many items previously in my bedside table. It depends on your storage situation.
Awww that was so cute :))
Hi thank you Luckily I can understand her just a little bit
Organizing jewelries 3:30
"I love folding"
"Why"
💀
Katie has far more shoes than I imagined she would. Very impressive!
I met her, she was super sweet. 5'1" as well, just a touch shorter than I am. Can you believe she's 61? Goals!
Katie has TOO MANY SHOES!
The subtitles are like the movie lost in translation where the director is saying more than the translator was translating. 😅
Hold it up against yourself, look in the mirror, does it light something up in you? Would you buy it again if it was in the store?
She has this Kimmy Schmidt's vibe. I love her
Kourics closet is the size of my living room.
I wonder why it say katie is 5'1 online and this other lady says to be 5'4...
didn't she prank james corden with the stair fall on april fools? (katie couric)
me encantaría la traducción al idioma español gracias
Thanks for sharing this!
Imagine how organized her desktop is

Rich people have way too many things
Anyways, we poor people can be hoarders as well. I was one
But I want to organize my stuff not give it all away??
ENo ugh shoes?
Некоторые люди так не гладят своих детей и животных как она разглаживает одежду руками!
Whose here after watching Alex Gonzaga's vlog? 😁
me😂
Imagine not pronouncing your guest’s name properly right in front of her face.
there's like 700 shoes in that closet 😳
Katie, do you understand Japanese? I say, if you don`t use it, lose it. Pics, collectibles, and important documents are ok. Old but good clothes, toys, books, just donate to thrift stores.
aintplaying games She can’t even pronounce poor Marie’s name properly right in front of her, of course she doesn’t understand Japanese.
A lot of interviews with Marie are done this way, they just cut out the translator for the audience's sake.
Love her quirk.
Considering she speaks Japanese. How come her book becomes best seller in English publish?
Find it patronizing to say she’s so cute. She’s a grown woman and yes she’s adorable but she’s not a child.
What if you sentimental?
you can't take things with you when you die so you might as well get rid of them before that
Natural 235, you can scan items or take a photograph and put in an electronic folder in the cloud.

Please! Her name is Mah-Ree--AA, not Marie! And it's KONE DOH, not CAN DOH! You are a world famous reporter! You should get her name right!
You have to have a looot of time to say "thank you" to each item.She is lovely but its too much.
ana85ist not if you have a reasonable amount of clothing
Marie kan Inglish, bat shi is e litel bit kurios with the japanis speak. Your book is wheri wheri good!!🤗
Marie is the stereotypical conservative Japanese wife...that being said most Japanese learn to minimalize from young age.
she's an extremely successful author/ speaker though. I think she's just soft spoken but has a lot of drive and career ambition.

she's fucking cute.

@02:00 Lol! Chronic compulsive Paraphilia!
Talking with affection to inanimate objects is basically a silly femenin affectation.
She’s not thanking God she’s thanking whatever strange statue that did nothing. People forget that God is the only giver and creator.
Meme review clap
Everytime she says "pour love into your shirts" I think she's really thinking "pour out your pockets, stupid Americans."
We really do buy into the most ridiculous things.
What a bull shit. Just buy less.
her voice......urgh
But she can't speak English?
So many clothes, shoes, jewels, It is disgusting.
Someone organizes your closet for you? HOLY CRAP, you're not TOO much of an elitist one-percenter, are you?
ah well .. someone's gotta be the 1% .. lol
i have someone organize and clean my house every day....and i am broke with no job
How pathetic.
I agree!

I think it is incredibly beautiful and soothing! I'm planning on learning it!
