Why hire someone to teach you to be tidy?

Tidying may seem like such an easy thing to do, but it's a lot more then just dusting, vacuuming, taking out trash and washing dishes. Shifting things from one room to another, or hiding things behind closets and basements does not solve the problem. As per the KonMari Method, cleaning is your confrontation with nature, but tidying is confrontation with yourself.
Here are some questions to ask yourself about your current house state:

• Do you spend too much time tidying and putting your house in order on the weekends (or even after work)?
• Do you have a hard time finding things easily when you need something? 
• Do you purge every few times a year when the realization of how many things you own happens when you change up your wardrobe for the seasons?
• Do you have no time to tidy, and you can't seem to put your house in order because there are better things to do, or you have a family that needs your attention?
• Do you avoid having guests visit your home because you don't want them to see the way you live?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you probably need direction in your tidying. When you take the time to really choose what you want to keep in your life that "sparks joy" then you can let go of what no longer serves a purpose in your home and let it go. Having less things at home definitely helps to get your house in order.

So you may need someone to teach you how to be tidy because you might need the guidance, support and focus to really get through everything that you own. A KonMari Consultant will not judge you, and will help you to live the ideal lifestyle you want, and be that support you need to help you in your "joy checks" when you are deciding what to keep. Once you have finished decluttering then you will be taught how to organize your things so that everything has a home and you can easily find things. Once go through this experience, you will never have to purge your things every year, this will happen all at once and that's it. The process will however take some time and can't be achieved over one session, but through several sessions and in the long run will save you time wasted in the future.

You can also read the "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" or all the other books by Marie Kondo and try to do the entire KonMari Method on your own, but sometimes people don't have the time to read or to really push themselves on their own to start the tidying journey. Sometimes getting the help you need to learn this method will be a great investment for your overall well-being and life. Don't be afraid to get the help you need and to live life with more time to do things that matter.
