Starting to Kondo

[egdehsdrawkcab]

I've read the book, I know what sparks joy. But STILL can't start on my wardrobe - the only are that actually needs a massive de clutter!

Any tips on getting started? I can be pretty ruthless when I get going but it just isn't happening!

Have you done the vision? It's tempting to skip it, but it's really key to KM. It's the section that starts on page 41 of the book. You need to write (or do a Pinterest board, collage or whatever works best for you) how you visualise your home and life after km. For me this helped a lot with every category, as it focuses you on why you're doing it and what the end result should be.

The other thing is to get everything out and make a huge pile so that you can see how much you have. If that sounds too much, break it down into sub-categories and do one at a time - tops, bottoms, underwear, sportswear, etc. Try a small category first and it might motivate you to move on to others.
