Did you know?
Marie Kondo's "KonMari Method" became a global phenomenon: she tells people to keep only the things that "spark joy".
How subjects help
- Psychology: Help people let go of clutter gently and build tidy habits that actually stick.
- Art & Design: Arrange shelves and rooms so they look calm and make things easy to find.
- Business Studies: Price your services, book clients and run your own small business.
- Communication: Listen to how a family uses their home and explain a clear plan for sorting it.
A famous name
Marie Kondo: Japanese organizing consultant who started her tidying business at 19 and created the KonMari method.
Try it yourself: Organise one drawer
- Ask the owner what they use most, and what they can never find.
- Take everything out and group similar things together.
- Give each group a home in the drawer, with the most-used things at the front, and label them.
- Ask the owner to find three things. Was it quicker than before?
Professional organisers design systems around how each person really lives, not how a picture in a magazine looks.
