Chapter 3: Tidying by category works like magic

When tidying, follow the correct order of categories. Kondo suggests that your tidying festival should start with the easy things first (clothes) and end with the hard (mementos) (p. 65-66). Kondo states that by starting with the easy things first and leaving the hardest for last, you can gradually hone your decision making skills, so that by the end, it seems simple.

Place every item of clothing in the house on the floor. Are you overwhelmed by the sheer volume of garments? How many items would you have in this pile?!

TONIGHT! 

I am going to create my fall capsule wardrobe. I'll have 30 items in the pile. I'll send you a complete list of items next week! Photos included!
