Below are some Frequently Asked Questions. Please feel free to reach out if your question is not answered here!
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COMPLETE THE PROCESS?
There are so many factors (size of house, amount of things, etc.) that can impact to how long it takes for a person/family to complete the entirety of the method. For specifics about your situation, please contact me to arrange a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation.
WHAT DO I DO WITH THE ITEMS THAT DO NOT SPARK JOY?
I encourage you to discard the items that do not spark joy. Most clients choose to donate them to a local facility, but we can work together to find what is best for you.
DO YOU OFFER YOUR SERVICES OUTSIDE OF ANN ARBOR?
Yes! I offer services throughout Ann Arbor and Metro Detroit, and I am willing to travel to other parts of Michigan as needed. I am also offering virtual consulting at this time too. Please contact me directly to discuss consultations in areas outside of Ann Arbor and Metro Detroit.
SHOULD I READ THE BOOK(S) BEFORE MY FIRST SESSION?
Reading the book(s) is always helpful but not necessary!
DO I HAVE TO BE A MINIMALIST IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL?
Using the KonMari Method is often confused with being a minimalist. These are not one and the same, but can overlap. Using the KonMari method focuses on keeping the things that bring you joy, and that usually means having less.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A CONSULTANT?
Even the most talented and driven individuals benefit from a coach, mentor, or personal trainer! The process of tidying -- utilizing the KonMari Method -- is no different. There are many reasons why a consultant will help you to be successful with the KonMari Method. Notably, a consultant will help you work to maintain an objective approach through this (at times) trying practice, and, a consultant will also help to hold you accountable to the goals you have set as you tidy your home (and mind).
IS THE METHOD TO BE COMPLETED BY ALL FAMILY MEMBERS?
The method does not need to be completed by all family members within a home. In fact, it's best that only the individuals who actively want to participate in this practice complete the process. Many times, when one's family sees the positive effect of completing and practicing the method, other family members are interested in participating as well!
DO I NEED A CONSULTANT PRESENT FOR ALL TIDYING SESSIONS?
No, a consultant does not need to be present for all tidying sessions. Each client and I will create an action plan that is specific to the individual and his or her goals, budget, and time available to this practice.
