What Your Business Can Learn from Tidying Up with Marie Kondo

In the new hit Netflix series, Tidying Up with Marie Kondo, home makeover guru Marie Kondo works to help everyday people willfully clear out clutter to “spark joy” in their lives. By using the innovative KonMari Method from her best-selling book, Marie demonstrates the life-changing magic of tidying up by transforming spaces in surprising ways. The secrets behind her method boil down to a simple question: does it spark joy? Best of all, Marie Kondo’s decluttering method isn’t just for homes. It can also be applied to business environments as well!
