Visualize your ideal home
Before starting to organize your home, it is important that you visualize how you would like it to be. Marie Kondo recommends that you imagine living in an orderly and happy space, and that you focus on the feeling that you would like to have in your home. This will help you focus on your goal and stay motivated throughout the process.
Start by throwing away what you don’t need
The first step to keeping your home organized is to get rid of what you don’t need. Marie Kondo recommends that you take everything out of your home and make a careful selection. Hold each object in your hands and ask yourself if it makes you happy or not. If the answer is no, then get rid of it. You can donate, sell or give away items you no longer need.

Once you’ve removed everything you don’t need, it’s time to start sorting by category. Marie Kondo recommends starting with clothing, and then moving on to other items like books, papers, sentimental items, and finally, cleaning supplies. By sorting by category, you ensure you have a complete picture of what you have, which will help you decide what to keep and what not.
