News KonMari admits she’s kind of given up on tidying

The lifestyle icon became a household name when her bestselling book "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" hit the U.S. in 2014, followed by two cathartic Netflix series that fully embraced the adage, "Tidy house, tidy mind." But her latest and more personal book reveals that even Kondo, now 38, has found that keeping a minimalist home filled only with items that "spark joy" (and that are stored and folded just-so and organized by colour… ) has become an increasingly unattainable goal as her family has grown. Until now, I was a professional tidier, so I did my best to keep my home tidy at all times," she said at a recent event, the Washington Post reported. "I have kind of given up on that in a good way for me. Now I realize what is important to me is enjoying spending time with my children at home."
