Follow the right order
Following the right order prepares you with easy things to the harder things.
Clothes are the easiest things to tidy. Books are a little harder, papers a little more, komono is almost the hardest, and sentimental items are the hardest to tidy.
You’ll Inevitably come across pictures or notes when sorting papers or komono items. These are, however, sentimental items and need to be sorted last.

The KonMari method
“Most tidying methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever.
The KonMari Method™ encourages tidying by category – not by location – beginning with clothes, then moving on to books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and, finally, sentimental items. Keep only those things that speak to the heart, and discard items that no longer spark joy. Thank them for their service – then let them go.
People around the world have been drawn to this philosophy not only due to its effectiveness, but also because it places great importance on being mindful, introspective and forward-looking.”
