Declutter Your Wardrobe By Following The KonMari Method Of Asking "Does It Spark Joy?"

Joy Factory, a clutter management firm founded by Gayatri Gandhi helps people declutter their homes in a very unique way.

Coming from a media background, Gayatri's journey to becoming a professional organiser started with a book named "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" by Marie Kondo.

Intrigued by the idea, Gayatri got in touch with tidying and lifestyle guru Marie Kondo and her team and took the course to become India's first and only 'KonMari certified Master consultant'. Following this, Gayatri started her firm 'Joy Factory'.

In order to help her clients declutter, Gayatri first talks to them to understand their requirements and then decides the amount of time the process will take. Gayatri assists people in making the decision of what to keep and what to reject by asking a simple question, "Does it spark joy?"

Often answering the question "does it spark joy" can be difficult. Here, Marie Kondo's philosophy of comparing simplifies the task. Explaining the same, Gayatri said, "If it's the last day of your life and if I tell you that pick up that one shirt that makes you happy, and run away from the house, you will know which one is that." Compare and see which piece of clothing sparks that joy.

After segregating the clothes and deciding what to retain and what to discard, Gayatri teaches how to fold clothes and organise them. With the lessons provided by Gayatri, one can practise decluttering and KonMari method in all aspects of life.

The Joy Factory aims to transform our disordered and jumbled premises into spaces of order, serenity and calm.
