#1 The focus of tidying is on objects, while the focus of cleaning is on dirt. Tidying means moving objects and putting them away, while cleaning means wiping and sweeping away dirt. The responsibility for mess and clutter lies 100 percent with the individual.

#2 The key to my approach is to keep only those things that spark joy and to discard the rest. Does it spark joy when you touch it. While some people find this criterion easy to grasp, many wonder what it actually means.

#3 To find out what brings you joy, compare it with a bunch of other items. The closer your clothing is to your heart, the easier it is to choose. Start with your tops.

#4 Tidying up is more than just deciding what to keep and what to discard. It's a priceless opportunity to learn, and it allows you to reassess and fine-tune your relationship with your possessions.
