Embrace a clutter-free life
The Hindu
These rules are simple and practical. Organising one’s space is easier than you think

Japanese organisational and minimalist maven Marie Kondo may have achieved worldwide fame with her first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, and exhorted everyone to try her KonMari method to keep homes tidy and spark joy, but there’s a simpler way to go about things! It involves making cleanups a part of the everyday instead of dedicating specific hours or days to these can’t-get-away-from-them tasks.
People are the same the world over; it’s just their habits that keep their home clean and free of clutter. Try them, and you’ll see.
