(MENAFN- Asia Times) Japanese professional organizer Marie Kondo has come up with a simple method to declutter your life.
Naturally when I came across a little book titledThe Life Changing Method of Tidying Up I was intrigued. Written by Japanese professional organizer Marie Kondo it describes a simple method to declutter your life from clothes to books to knickknacks.

While many other organizing methods ask you to think about whether you've used a certain item recently or whether you plan on using it soon Marie Kondo wants you to answer just one simple question when it comes to any of the items in yourhouse:
Does it bring you joy?
