Asking for consultations on decluttering and organizing the home is something fairly new and unusual. Most of our patterns and habits around household order come from our original family, and we often don’t even question whether they suit us or actually work. We simply consider cleaning a necessary evil that must be endured. But what if it could all be different — and a KonMari consultant could help you with everything?
After the Netflix series “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo” aired, KonMari consultations became a huge hit in the USA. American colleagues say there still aren’t enough consultants to meet the growing demand. The situation in Europe is very different. Marie Kondo and the KonMari system are much less known. When I meet someone and mention my work as a KonMari consultant, only 2 out of 10 people have heard of the method.
Additionally, we Czechs (and I’d say Europeans in general) are much less used to working individually and regularly with someone on our personal development — whether it concerns mental health, the body, or the household. Going to a therapist, having a personal trainer, or even having someone help us sort and tidy is often seen as a luxury and for many a step out of their comfort zone.
As I’ve worked on myself and practiced the KonMari philosophy, I’ve started seeking out experts much more — people to whom I can delegate tasks. It’s a huge relief not to have to figure everything out on my own. I used to think it was a virtue to manage everything myself — at home and everywhere else. Today, it’s a great relief and a huge time-saver to simply delegate what I don’t know how to do or what I genuinely don’t enjoy.
I’ll admit — ironing is one of those things for me. Another interesting experience was with my husband’s wardrobe — he hired a stylist. He feels fantastic in his new clothes. When I tried advising him myself, it wasn’t ideal. I believe it’s much better when stylists work with us on our wardrobe, rather than having it reflect someone else’s taste. Especially for men — their wardrobe often reflects what their wives, girlfriends, or even mothers like, rather than what they themselves enjoy.
But back to KonMari — I’ve heard this common scenario: many people read *The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up*, enthusiastically started decluttering, and applied parts of the method. But when the initial excitement faded, they realized it was too time-consuming or confusing in some way, and they simply stopped. And that’s a pity — when the first enthusiasm turns into disappointment. Because the fruits of our work come only after some effort — just like in everything. We didn’t accumulate our belongings in a weekend, so how can we expect to transform our home and life in such a short time?
What are the advantages of working with a KonMari consultant?
I’m here for you and I’ll support you. We’ll explain everything step by step and start working together. We’ll create a timeline and move toward your goal step by step. I work individually with each client and adapt the process to their current needs. For me, the most important and interesting part of the KonMari method is personal development and changing habits and mindset. Of course, we’ll work on this through sorting and organizing your home, but the main point is the deeper overlap — discovering more about yourself and asking questions like: What things do I like? What do I enjoy? What brings me joy in my life?
Are you interested in working with a KonMari consultant? Curious how it works and how I could help you? Leave me your contact and write what you’d like to achieve — we’ll figure something out together.
The KonMari method can be applied to all areas of life — it’s not limited to physical items. We start with tangible objects and move toward less tangible categories. It’s a kind of training with things, so we can gradually change our life — spend time with people who make us feel good and do activities that bring us joy. Surprisingly often, we’re not used to asking ourselves these important questions — and then it’s no wonder we’re indecisive or unsure what we want from life. I’ll help you stay on track and focus on joy.
