I love this translator. It's the first I see that really put emotion and humour intro her translation. Bravo to her!

She's like a beautiful model and wise princess from a better planet.

This interpreter is AWESOME! Love Mari's method, although it's nothing complex, but I love her gentle and firm approach. The interpreter is enthusiastic, she adds to the workshop, this is the best interpreter Mari had so far. Well Done!

I love this translator! Such a beautiful job. Felt like I was listening in to her story telling with a friend. :)

This method of tidying up has transformed my life and classroom. Thank you Marie!

Best translator ever!

As an American, I'm slightly embarrassed she traveled to New York and had to see our sidewalks. Like, "Um, sorry about the mess."

Her voice is so beautiful and soothing

This video really inspires me. I already read the book and started tidying, but the way she speaks and how she talks about it, really gives it an extra dimension. Even though I don't know a word of the Japanese language, I really feel her good vibes. I also got the feeling that the translator is really in sinc with her message.

I've just finished her book, so this is great to watch before I start the process.

William Morris said it best - "Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

It's wonderful to have a room in your house, dedicated to improving your health and well-being, getting rid of your waste at the touch of a button. Maybe everything does have joy in it, even comfy yoga pants.

Hm... I don't know if I would call those "steps" - tidy in one shot, tidy by location, ask if spark joys - those seem more like helpful "tips." :) According to her book, I think her KonMari steps are more like... 1) take everything out 2) sort if the items that spark/ don't spark joy 3) Discard any items 4) organize stuff and put things back.

No, she teaches to KEEP things that spark joy. Not discard. Keep first then things left you can discard but after you say thank you to them. That's why it's her method. It's contradict ordinary organizing styles.

The philosophy of keeping only what brings you joy is a basic life lesson for all areas of your life, and not just your environment. And looking more closely at everything in your life, looking more deeply, also is a wise tenement. I have decluttered my life and home, and it is liberating. There is a Japanese proverb: The more you have, the heavier your burdens will be. Why must we own things to feel good? Walk outside and appreciate nature. No one owns nature, and yet it brings us immense joy!

+Lori Phillips Why? Things are happiness that can be actually purchased, though for a brief moment. We feel excitement. And for this moment of excitement, we are willing to order books we wont read and purchase tons of clothes that we might not even wear. I love decluttering and hope the book with cute Marie converts my messy partner, too ... on other things in life - beware before you gracefully quit your job.

So true. I get many questions from book lovers, "how about books? They are books, not clothes!" Pile of books that you don't reach and load of books that don't spark joy, it's hoarding too.

Very helpful to watch her video to supplement her two books I have read. She makes it seem so easy to understand especially when she talks. Her passion for helping others comes across even though she doesn't speak English.

Thank you for this video. I had started the process with my clothes but then I got stuck and did not continue. This reminder video has inspired me to set myself a new goal.

I started with one drawer a day. My husband got the shock of his life seeing his underwear drawer so tidy. Tomorrow sock day!!!!

Ss her methods are great but they can only work on somebody who is ready for them and ready for change. They won't work on a hoarder because they will hold everything and declare it brings them joy.

Very possible since everything is on PowerPoint, pretty much everything is scripted so The interpreter had a chance to translate it before presenting.

Where's the comment that says 私の時めく者はまりえさんです。 or "You are my spark of joy Marie-sama" needs to go up.

Loved this. She's fantastic! Although, I can't understand why ppl need help tidying. If you read her book, it's so clear how to proceed with her method. I suspect those who hire help have not really read the entire book.

Does having snow tires when you need them bring you joy?

The thing I struggle with is tools and materials. They don't exactly spark joy, but I know I'll regret it if I give them away then realise I need them for something soon after.

+Andy Brice I am an architect with woodworking hobby and I used to keep a stockpile of modelling papers, glue, cutter blades, rulers, woods of different kinds 'in case I might need them later.) Before I realise, my work space has became a storage that does not spark any joy nor creativity. I found that, and this was even before I discovered the KonMari method, by discarding the things I don't need now not only opens up my workspace but it makde me more considerate when buy supplies. Thinking ahead, buying only what I need, I am forced to face the decision I would otherwise postpone until later. The process helps sharpen my mind, opens up more creative ideas and enables me to experiments with many different kinds of techniques and materials, all that sparks joy at the slightest touch. So, yeah, learn to let go, it's not so scary nor wasteful. (I do keep supplies, but only those really necessary and those that I really want to see and use as soon as possible.)

In other videos, she's said to think about whether it's something you want to bring forward into the future with you. Also look at what it can bring to your child in the future (in this case it may add to their independence, their ability to become responsible adults). Not all is "joy" as we think of "joy".

Nothing against the interpreter- she seems like a wonderful human being but an interpreter should speak in first person singular almost as if she herself where saying Marie's words and should also hold in her laughter while interpreting. She could laugh in unison with the audience as they laugh. Then continue interpreting. I'm so glad I've been able to learn from Marie's organization methods.

I felt strange when interpreter said she and not I , as she should translate it as it is Mary talking and say I and not she. I could not finish listening because it was confusing and uncomfortable

If only every woman could look exactly like a clone of her. They should design the first robot in her image. Totally beautiful with a personality to match.

U seem more vexed that Marie kondo does not speak English rather then embracing her being Japanese and a master at what she does and teaches. Something missing from Education particularly in the West and that is JOY. This is far more than tidying this is about creating a clean space a clean and present mind 're living memories to maintain happiness and to focus on the positive parts of our lives because life can be tough at times. If you read her book that is in English as well as several other language's you may learn something. And just to update you this extremely clever articulate and heart felt genuine lady NOW speaks FLUENT english.

Why have an interpreter? Why not learn her script in English? I watched four or five Netflix programs on this. Again there was an interpreter. I think she should learn the English for what she is saying.
