- This #1 New York Times best-selling guide to decluttering your home from Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes readers step-by-step through her revolutionary KonMari Method for simplifying, organizing, and storing.
I turned on subtitles and it just said "speaking Japanese". Come on Google, you can do better than that.
I know i wish it was in hiragana
Perhaps it would have the Japanese subtitles if you were in Japan? As you are in America, it didn't know you would need it. Just like there are no German, Swedish, Afrikaans, or Inuit subtitles on other videos in America. Hopefully the English helps you if you are in a noisy place.
I had 2 days off work, read her book in 2 hrs a night before and have managed to fill 14 (13 Gallon) trash bags !!!! And I have zero regret.
Joselerio M wow! That’s amazing. How are you doing now?
I wish that the KonMari Method had a stronger emphasis on donating/recycling the items you are "getting rid of", instead of just throwing it in the trash.
I got rid of 10
Bags of clothes and about same
Amount boxes of books
Joselerio M yes!! I read it in one day and got up the next day, a Saturday, at 6 am, wearing my favourite practical dress, say my hello and wish to the apartment and got going and finished just after midnight. Over 20 back rubbish sack of charity donation and over 15 bags of trash! And I don’t even remember what were in them!
Skyler Landale I took my bags of clothes to a charity store.
I borrowed this book from my local library and lost it in my apartment!
Lol
Marian McAfee I readed a very good book about how to remember things and it can be very useful for you.
If I remember the name of the book I'll let you know.
Lol
Adam Herbst lolol
***** hi hun! Im watching this again!
She is the cutest woman I have ever seen. So lady like and positive. She's the type of person I aspire to be. She seems so lovely and kind hearted.
+Nibbler800 Leila's been looking for you!
Marie is mesmerising!
She truly is! I had a chance to meet her in person this summer and she just has the glow about her, she is so kind and lovely! Like a snowflake! lol
She definitely has some great ambience about her.
You are awful.
Marie cant speak english but she understand english, maries knows that her translator, didnt explaine what she wanted to say , thats why she keep repeating so that the translator , will explaine it in a proper way.
I just read the book after watching half of this. For English speakers, this talk does not do her concepts and philosophy justice (at all). The book is great and well written. I've done my clothes and started on my books.
Could you please share a summary of what her book says?
@@megy570 That comment is three years old so you probably won't get a response. I think you'd find plenty of info out there if you googled summaries of the book or read in depth reviews of the book on goodreads or youtube
I think this video summarises it pretty well.
Yeah, I've watched her TV show and a bunch of TH-cam videos, but nothing does her method justice like her books. There's so much of her philosophy that's essential to learn that gets left out of everything I've seen. Definitely read the books!! It's 100% worth your time!
Wow just looking at her I feel like cleaning up my life lol.
She's adorable.
Totally. Just wish she wouldn't wear all black.
absolutraj she doesn't
Fari it was a joke, absolutraj was talking about the bad interpreter.
@@thecommodore4881 yeah the interpreter, whyyyy??
This young woman is a piece of art: the way she looks, talks, moves, smiles. Her concept is a groundbreaking :)
Yelena Budyonny Yup, I'm so jealous.
Yelena Budyonny She looks fake, like a doll.
+GamingTaylor Maybe she likes looking like a doll. I think she looks professional. But that's my opinion.
+Yelena B. She is just Japanese. Many, I would say the majority, of Japanese women have that kind of manners.
+Yelena B. - The concept is anything but groundbreaking. That's what people who don't have much money but like quality items have been doing for years. They simply buy only a few things they really like as opposed to a lot of crap.
This translator is horrible! I can speak japanese and I can tell you that not only her english doesn't make sense but also her translation is innaccurate. She skips important points Marie Kondo mentions and adds her own comments. Whole thing is messy and doesn't deliver the message that Marie so well presented in her native language.
I got so irritated by the translator that I didn't finish watching the video, ugh.
figuenoire 日本で生まれた？
figuenoire They need to just do closed captioning, but this was for their audience.
figuenoire have you ever done live translation like that? It is very difficult. Marie should have broken it down into smaller segments.
figuenoire I don't speak Japanese but I can tell that the translator is doing a really bad job. Waste of time watching this video.
bb57nyc still she didn't adress half the things Mari said and misinterpreted a lot of the rest
I have ADHD, which makes it tough to stay organized, but the way MK has changed my views about my home and my possessions has honestly changed my life. When my home is tidy, I feel more focused, less anxious, more at peace...it truly does "spark joy." Marie Kondo is a treasure!
When my space is cluttered my head feels cluttered....organized and tidy makes positive energy flow
Adorableness levels: over 9000.
Translator is saying completely different thing that Marie doesn't say. For example, regarding cleaning shared spaces, Marie says, "I recommend you to clean up your stuff first. There were clients who have said in the past that their husband or children doesn't clean up, but from my experience, Moms have not finished cleaning up her things. She needs to clean up hers first." Translator says that Mom doesn't clean up correctly.
Unfortunately, the interpretation was sorely lacking. We expect the best from Google, but this was disappointing. In her native Japanese, Konmari's vocabulary, grammar and speaking style are clear, concise, bright, alert, focused, organized, charming, stylish, rhythmic and persuasive. She does not come across as arrogant, condescending, disinterested or confused. Going from Japanese to English, the interpreter the interpreter fails to convey the essence of Konmari's charismatic style. What's more, she dropped words, phrases and ideas. In a number of instances, she seemed to fundamentally miss the point. From English to Japanese was no better. I feel badly for viewers who don't speak Japanese, they are really missing out.
+cap boffington "you feel badlyyyyyyyyyyyy" ??? maybe you feel "goodLY" when criticizing her job? or maybe BETTERLY???? Good luckilyyyyyyy :)
+书书 shushu well, to criticize someone else s job & skills in a LANGUAGE related field , the least thing you could do is 0 mistakes in the actual criticism. just saying .
+Veritas Veritas Thank you. Until I read your comment, I was unaware that "--ly" words are adverbs limited to use with action verbs. I stand corrected.
Of course it's hard to capture a person's essence through translation, but her other talk (kind of a mirror of this one but slightly better, but with a worse interviewer, lol) from (YT page) JapanSocietyNYC has a better translator I thought. Check that one out and see what you think. :)
I'm really happy to hear this, because I thought that some very bad answers were being given.
Her method is a process, and transformative because it's so specific. I am finding her question "Does it spark joy?" to apply more and more to everything I do. I watched the Netflix series first, started tidying, and am now reading her book. It's one I'm going to keep.
I find it so delightful that she says "next today" rather than "tomorrow". A weird way to think about it but its true :)
+Free Jazz She's actually saying "nexto day". When transliterated into Japanese, the English word 'next' becomes NEKUSUTO. When the Japanese say an English word that ends in a 't', it usually comes out as 'to' (sounds like "tow"). The 'u' sounds usually get swallowed, so it sounds more like NEKSTO.
+Free Jazz I don't know Japanese, but I bet it has to do with how her language is structured. I bet if we look, the word for "tomorrow" in Japanese is the connection between the concept of next and day.
When my daughter was little, she said 'yesterday night' instead of 'last night.'
+Marcos Vinícius Petri (今日 kyou: today) (昨日 kinou: yesterday) (明日 ashita: tomorrow) notice the 日 as the end of the word? That means "sun." Ashita's beginning kanji 明 means "bright, or light" so the "brightness" of a "day" is "tomorrow." This kanji 今 means "now." So the "now day" is today. "Bright day" is tomorrow. 昨 in kinou for "yesterday" means literally "previous." Previous day = yesterday. Now day = today. Bright day = tomorrow.
I think Japanese is really a cool language. ^w^
+jomon324 haha, these kannji are the same in chinese and i think are from chinese
I wish she mentioned it when gifts came up, but that was my number-one takeaway from both of her books, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, and Spark Joy. I feel guilty getting rid of things that other people gave me, that I don't want. So I keep them, and feel bad every time I see it. Her advice is that a gift's purpose was not meant to be USED, it was meant to be GIVEN. Once it has been given, and conveyed the feelings of the giver, it has fulfilled it's purpose and may safely be discarded.
I have this problem. I also anticipate or visualize that the person who gave me the item visits my home and asks about or mentions the item that they gave me.
where's the .... I gave you? or do you use that ...I gave you? etc.
I wouldn't know how to respond. I don't want to offend the person and tell them that I gave it away or the it out. how would you get around that situation?
I say "Oh I didn't use it, so I don't have it anymore. Thank you for thinking of me when you gave it to me!" Something like that. You don't have to say what you did with it.
ty for sharing that 🤍🤍🤍
Awww Japanese sounds so cute. What an elegant lady :)
久しぶりにこんまり先生思い出して見てるけど、改めて勉強になるなぁ。片付けは人の人生までも左右するってことをこの方はみんなに教えてくれる人ですよね^ - ^最近見かけないですが、現在は全て英語で外国で公演されてるのかな？もっと伝えたいことも海外の方に伝えていらっしゃるとしたら素敵！
How To Organize - Konmari Method
1. Tidy in one shot as quickly and completely as possible. We need a shock to get it done. Therefore set a deadline for organizing. It could be one week if doing it everyday , every weekend, etc.. TIdying is not an every day event but think of it as a Festival, a special event
2. How are you going to do it ? Sort by category, not by location. It never ends if you try to ticy in one portion of the closet or living room. Organize my category and do it quickly eg. If organizing the clothes first, make a big pile of all the clothes in your house . Similarly, take out all the books from your bookcase and organize then in one location in the house. When you bring out all your stuff in one location you can visually see how many books etc...that you have. We rarely understand how much stuff we have around us. It is a great opportunity to decide which ones you really need to keep or get rid of.
The criteria for sorting what you need from what you don't is :
3. Does it Spark Joy ? If you look at one thing, you should question if that thing makes you happy, impressed. It's more important to think which one you want to keep than what to get rid of.
How to make a decision :
1. Make sure you touch the item. Imagine how you feel when you touch it
2. You should feel a reaction from your body. If every part of your body is enlivened that is the right reaction
3. If the item doesnt give you any inspiration, and your body starts feeling down...then you don't need it. Try this

Where is the rest??? Thank you for this first part!
Thank you 🤲 i need more
Thank u!!!
Thankyou!!!
Stop acquiring useless junk is the best way to tidying up.
And it's inspiring to live more with less.
That's certainly going to help you maintain organization & clutter-free living space, but it doesn't address the question of how to get started & deal with the stuff you already have that you don't really need.
Here's my method. It works better for me than the lady's --
step 1: stop acquiring useless junk to begin with
step 2: for existing junk, find friends and family who can use it (but not pushing)
step 3: if no one can use it, sell it on Ebay and make money
step 4: if it doesn't sell on Ebay, donate to Good Will to help others
step 5: throw away
Not sure if you read her book but she does mention step 1 in there. Your step 2 is almost similar to what she indicates in her book except she sort of doesn't support it because even though you are not pushing, some people take the stuff even though they don't need it out of guilt or because they think they are doing you a favor. Basically, you're transferring your clutter onto your family and friends. Also, your first comment just basically reiterated her ideas behind being tidy. :)
You are right that I didn't read her book. As to friends and family, I came from a frugal family where throwing away perfectly usable things is a bigger sin than pushing them to others. But I get your/her point. Living a simple life myself, one of my secret pleasures comes from throwing away things that have been fully utilized with no residual value. Thanks for your comment.
I completely agree with you. I also came from a frugal family like yourself. I stopped giving stuff to my mom because her house has become very cluttered over the years because of that very sentiment. Anyways, I borrowed the book in her language from the library for her to read and if she agrees I will go help her.
Thank you Marie. I threw away clothes given to me that didn't fit ,cheap "back up" jeans, clothes I felt was too revealing, photos of me with people that didn't make me feel happy, textbooks I no longer need and things I have purchased on impulse - all thanked for being with me during my journey and sent away. I feel so much happier now and I agree it is is a philosophy too - throw away things that no longer make you happy or bring joy. It is not a waste at all because it taught you valuable lessons that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
💖
She is so adorable to look at and trying to explain in English...love her effort..
Massive fan of Marie! She has helped me to let go of past traumas from my childhood. Its been hard to let go certain items but I'm getting there. Just got rid of a car load! Marie inspires me to visit Japan in the future. With love from England, UK x
I read the book about 4 months ago and my room was a mess, even when I tried different methods. Now my room is a place to have rest, I love folding my clothes in the Kon Mary method, I don't accept gifts if I'm not going to use them and I only buy what I love.
It really worked for me! Thank you SO much Kon Mary. YOU ARE AMAZING!!!
Here is my translation from the Q&A at 26:00 (It is not a literal translation, but I tried to grasp what Marie Kondo was trying to convey). Q: "I have a lot of things that I need, but I don't like or they don't inspire joy. How do I find the balance between keeping versus discarding them?" (Ex: GMAT book, old kitchen utensils). A: "For the items that don't spark joy but are items that are necessities/essentials currently- Try to think of it in this way- as they are items that are BEING OF USE to you or supporting you. This can also be thought of as: that they are items that are trying to make you happy or bring you joy. So my advice is, if you are going to keep that item, then be PROUD of that item. Then, to that particular item- shower it with many compliments. You will then soon begin to harbor/sparkle joy with those items."
I'd like to take a moment to say thank you to the translator. This little portion took me about 30min to translate trying to really think what Marie Kondo was trying to convey from her heart. However, if I was on the spot like that- I would've probably only been able to make a literal translation. The translator did a great job keeping Marie's words authentic- and she did not add her own opinions/emotions into the translation. If translation was lost- it was most likely due to the overwhelming amount of amazingness Ms. Kondo had in each selected message she had for the audience. This 42minute clip is only just the beginning of her magic! The rest is truly only in her book. If I can help in anyway to translate any other portion- please feel free to let me know! :D
+j uchikawa nice, I think I might learn some Japanese by listening to her. This video makes me want to go back to learning the language but I'm so overwhelmed with life right now. I still hope one day I will.
thank you for translating
Thank you so much!!!
What a wonderfully positive look on everything! Peace.
Thanks for your comment and that translation! I knew something was a bit off in that reply in the video. The other point I didn’t see anyone make is that Japanese is not an easy language to translate - it’s full of nuance and implication. There are sometimes no direct translations to English for Japanese words or phrases, and as a translator it would be hard to catch these things and convey them in English on the spot. There’s no way I could do what the translator did!
This is a great book that you should definitely read - it's changed my life completely - that's for sure. And I consider myself very good at minimizing and decluttering - it was just the extra push I needed to get rid of the last of the crap.
If she were any more adorable I might explode. Love her.
Theresa Walker )6
She has the most beautiful face
I am watching this while cleaning :D
+christina walthall Me too! How did it go? :)
+Bea Hope I threw out a lot of things I wasnt using that had no real value to me! Feeling light^_^
lol me too 💕
Very classy, sophisticated, charming, and well presented young lady.
Dont you just love this lady. So cute :) :)
she looks like a character in final fantasy she is perfect omg
My god she is so adorable and cute! I love the sound of her voice!
How did tidying up become so CUTE?! I want to smush her cuteness.
She's so pretty!!
30:50 almost spiritual advice: instead of complaining, that others don't tidy up - you should start by yourself with really tidying your own stuff.... - wow.
as someone who speaks both english and japanese i can tell you that the translator did a terrible job and many important points were lost. Kondo gave a great talk and answered the questions well, unfortunately with this translator this doesn't come across
Totally agree with you!!
Read a few comments like this now... Can you try and fill us in on what very important points were missed? I'm very curious as the question-and-answer portion was pretty terrible.
mjessnash There are too many to point out. It was just bad. They should've had somebody proficient in English as well as capable in interpretation.
I was in need of her help & interested enough I managed too over look the translation.
Even though I couldnt understand her words..she was amazing to listen to.
I wanna see what her house looks like so badly >
Me too!
Google Marie Kondo House tour. Its very minimalistic
The only one I found was in the category "April Fools" and was posted on the 1st of April... ;-)
She probably still lives with her parents
I really like the way she speaks Japanese. It's so clean. I found it interesting that she loves to organize as a hobby before she did it as a job. Organizing wears me out.My only concern is if I were to judge everything by how I feel, I won't have anything in my house and I don't have the money to replace it with items I do love.
+bigbuggie5 She mentioned in answering to a question (somewhat lost in interpretation a little) that things that are absolutely necessary although not giving you any "spark joy", you should try to "love" it and they will start to spark joy for you... this was my question too all along so Marie really clarified that. So you don't have to replace it if you feel that you NEED that thing.
Having a very, VERY messy and crammed space sat on the back of my mind ALL THE TIME for the last couple of years. It dawned on me when one time I realised that I was too embarrassed to invite my friends over. Those were friends with whom I was at boarding school, and friends with whom I studied at university. They have seen me in all kinds of state, we looked after each other when drunk in that ridiculous ways that only students could, we waded over one another's laundry all over the floor during exam times etc and yet I was too embarrassed to invite them over, that was how bad that was. So I read her book in half a day. Then next day, Sunday, I got up, got dressed in a smart dress, lit a candle and said a prayer to the flat, and I got started. I finished at 2 am, and this took my breath away. Now I am inviting everyone over :-) And I'm telling everyone about it and buying this book for friends who might need it.
Grace k thsts beautiful
Great story
Ahhh! She is so adorable!
The book is fantastic and she is adorable. Her method is true and very transformative but it must be followed exactly.
She is so adorable she makes me want to learn Japanese!
It's fun and not so difficult.. until you get the numbers.
Beautiful presentation...she looks light, serene and full of joy..graceful hand gestures and neat movements without trying to impress really demonstrate how Eastern and Western Cultures differ..
+Patricia Ryall I literally just texted my sister, "She looks and sounds like a living doll." She seems so peaceful and sweet. I loved the way she spoke. The last few words of each, "paragraph" (I don"t know what else to call it because it wasn't at the end of each sentence)she spoke before the translation are almost in a whisper on top of a soft exhale. I'm sorry if that didn't make sense, just listen to her and you will know what I mean. But it sounded very soothing.
+Patricia Ryall Yes, you are so right:) The guy near her looked like an orang-utan:)
+Nadiia Shyshkovska Are you talking about the translator?If so, that is quite a cruel and sexist thing to say. The translator is also lovely.
So agree! She sparks joy in herself, beautiful woman!
I've gotten rid of almost half of my stuff, I still have a ways to go. I would love to live out of a few suitcases. What freedom that would be!
What I gather from Marie's talk is that a decluttered space shows that the person's life is also clutter free and easy.
If that's the lifestyle we want to follow then keeping few things, few people, few of everything in our life gives us joy.
perhaps someone can write a translation for her japanese words into english. I would upload the translation as subtitles for video in a new video.
Ipad3tips It's in the book!
Tidying up is very sexy, apparently.
OMG - her book is absolutely incredible! She writes from the heart. Amazon has it for $10 - such a bargain! The book is NOT just about tidying - it is about your relationship with your "things".
The translation wasn't good. I wish this video could be edited with closed caption instead, but with better translation by someone who actually read the book.
Yvette B I noticed she missed "spark joy"
Well it’s official I am getting rid of ALL SOCKS. When I touch the item (a single lost sock) I feel rage not joy. I guess we’re about to become a sockless family.
Oh my goodness, she is so cute! Kawaii!
hod pod With everyone commenting on how cute Marie is, I was realizing that she actually embodies the iconic aesthetic of modern Japan, that “cuteness” or “kawaii” which is so popular there. It’s interesting to see how Westerners respond to her in such a positive way :-)
I've tried other methods to organize and declutter my house but after starded them I always give up and do not know why. I read the Marie Kondo book and it does work for me. It changed my life for sure and my house is getting more organized than ever. I give to a a good will association a lot of stuff doesn't spark joy. This is a simple method that just works, maybe that's why the book is a best seller.
She is literally one of the cutest things I've ever seen. O_O
she is so lovely!
Very inspiring and practical message, she's amazing. Also Cute meter overload!
This girl is probably something Doraemon brought from the future :)
Honestly, I'm disgusted that Google did not get a better interpretor. We all know that Google **could have** gotten a better interpreter, so why didn't they?
This makes them look cheap and sloppy. I don't care if KonMari hired the woman, KonMari is clearly not able to assess the skills of an English interpreters abilities if she herself can not speak English. This is Google, they should have made sure that everyone who was going to be on stage at a Google Talk was qualified.
Thank you Marie Condo! you changed my life! i am very appreciate your books, you are genius!
If someone would take this content and edit out the seemingly endless waiting around for the translations to give us the only meat, then we could watch this in five minutes and get on with tidying up!
Does anyone notice when she speaks in Japanese her voice is squeaky feminine Japanese and then when she speaks English it drops an octave !
+Elliott Chen Most Japanese women speak that way in English. It is difficult to produce certain sounds in English without shifting the point of enunciation.
+Elliott Chen It's always like that when you switch languages. My voice is different when I switch from German to English to Croatian.
I'm a guy born and raised in america, and my voice goes up an octave when I speak Japanese, which I started studying in high school and kept studying through college. I dunno why it happens, but it's hilarious. XD
+jomon324 That's interesting, since most Japanese men actually speak much lower than American men, lol, so that might sound strange to Japanese people, as Japanese is a gendered language. Maybe you watch anime with more female characters, or listen to language CDs with female teachers? I do think that how you speak is affected by what you hear. I should go higher when speaking Japanese, but I tend to keep my "American" gender-neutral tone, or go lower, and I think that is because I listen to a lot of Japanese music with male singers, and interviews with men speaking, and I hardly ever listen to any any women speak Japanese. :)
^ That said, someone like Marie, is exactly who I should be listening to, with her very female tone and ultra precise pronunciation. She sounds like the announcements on Japanese trains. Good listening practice for me. ^_^;
A piece common wisdom: Some people are simply messy. Put a messy person in a tidy room, and that room will quickly clutter up. Put a tidy person in a messy room, and things will magically become organized. However, I do believe an organized space produces a less stressful mind.
I think well said!
Super cutie. I like this method.
I admire her so damn much. I cannot imagine it's easy to travel to a country and learn an entirely different language just so she can share her amazing techniques on how to improve your life. She's clearly very passionate and it's so admirable to see her learning English so she can teach us all how to not be a mess! Forever grateful to Marie Kondo
13:34
Marie Kondo: (in English) "I'm used to this reaction from this audience"
Interpreter: "So this is a common reaction in my seminar"
LOL
so what.... -
@@andreareinhardt6834 I know it's been two years and you don't remember or care about this but I'm that guy who feels the need to explain it to you anyway. The irony in the situation is a Translator translating English into English.
@@adamkorbiak8171 now I see :) :) :) thank you!!!!!
Watch the video to the end. The interpreter does a solid job interpreting the English into Japanese for Kondo-san. And if it seems as though Kondo-san isn't directly answering the question, it's because you haven't read the book. Kondo-san is stressing the importance of 1. What brings you joy 2. how important it is to know HOW TO FOLD (because that is the building block to organizing) 3. what kind of life do you imagine/want it to be? If you can understand and use these three points, it will begin to transform your life. READ THE BOOK FIRST!
What a beautiful soul🌹
Started the con method and have organized clothes made great headway 20 lbs of old clothes feeling liberated after releasing unused things
My kingdom for simple subtitles.
Feather Wait Lower left part of the screen.... You have to turn on subtitles/CC
Endezeichen Grimm I mean instead of the interpreter.
Endezeichen Grimm They're useless. I can understand her English just fine, but when she starts speaking Japanese (which is what I really want the subtitles for), it just says [SPEAKING JAPANESE]. Why did they even bother?
+Revina Que because those subtitles aren't for native English speakers but for the hearing impaired, and as there's a translation into English right after each chunk of Japanese, the extra subtitles would be redundant.
Lihie Jacob
You're hearing impaired!
This method of tidying up has transformed my life and classroom. Thank you Marie!
That’s where I need it most! It difficult to move into a classroom with cabinets and file completely full from several previous teachers. This is my second year in that room and have vowed to unpack and move in, decluttering the room AND my own belongings. I’m at a place where I can let go.
こんまり自身が英語もっと話せて、直接説明できるといいのになあ。
通訳されやすいように話してるように聞こえるし、情報伝えきれてないようでもったいない。
もしくはちゃんと同時通訳できる人が良かったな。なんか見ててモヤモヤする😟
I wish Konmari herself could explain in English, or hired a better interpreter. I got frustrated by the interpreting😟
Marie to translator in Japanese, 'translate poorly so everyone buys the book'. Translator to Marie, 'no hablo español'
This is also in her culture. There's a famous photography book called How To Wrap Five Eggs that shows all kinds of ways the traditional Japanese ingeniously packed things.
Nice, thanks for sharing that! :)
Conan should hire her to consult for Jordan Schlansky's office space...
Haha yes
In the answers to the questions, it was really clear the interpreter wasn't doing a good enough job of translating the meaning.
There weren't many questions, and yet the one about dealing with items in the shared space in a house was misunderstood as how to feel about items in peoples own spaces, and 'how often' to do the kon mari method was answered as 'when' to do the kon mari method.
I would have liked to hear the answers to the actual questions, and it makes me wonder what other things were lost in translation during the rest of the talk.
Marie my family thanks you and I thank you! You have saved me hours of cleaning and organizing that I do everyday. I'm seriously thinking about starting a group in my hometown with other housewifes and base it on your book! Plus i'm passing on your method to my lil girl so she could be an amazing housekeeper for her future husband as well!
Marie is so pretty
She is just so cute and charming. Don't mind at all her telling me how to smarten myself up.
She looks like a doll.
Her voice is beautiful.
I love her!! This was just perfect!! Thank you!!
Why didn’t I have this perfect woman in my life.
I don't like to clean my room that much so from a beginning, I usually keep it as tidy as possible ^^ Yet, not many people could be that way.
Listen to her tone, her explanation, I learn many lessons. It isn't about how to tidy your closet. It is the starts of choosing your own inspiration, how you want to live your life, how you want to choose your friends, relationships and to be succeed.
Great seminars. Thanks to the uploader!
It's like... The martial art of cleaning.
lol, if you put it this way ^^
At least she’s trying her best English even though she’s Japanese
Marie Kondo is the best, I bought her book last year, and it has been a huge help. Although I am an organized person, she teaches you the secret to really be organized. 👍🏼👍🏼
Her story is the epitome of finding your place and purpose in this world. Inspiring, beautiful, amazing
Thanks a lot!!! It was a great lesson, how to keep only what inspire me and decide what a kind of life I want to live. I wish you all the best. Arigatou gozaimasu.
I see they found a way to still encourage you to buy the book... Use a translator that's hard to understand and stumbles over her translation a lot.
I love Konmari method, but I realized that the translator mistranslated some of Kondo's important points! Please use a translator who read the book of author!!!
I feel I'm watching anime😂😁👏👏👌👌
She is sooooo adorable!!!! I’ve been listening her audiobook and it’s so inspiring!!! I already feel the changes. I’m so thankful I decided to listen to the audiobook
I just bought this book based on a recommendation. Thank you.
It's interesting that she is not aware of the connection between hoarding and mental health.. it must be a cultural difference.
Maybe this mental problem is because people loose spirituality, and become consumerist and attach to material things, people just have to start changing their minds, start moving, and stop excuses
I love Mrs. Kondo's Japanenglish. 😊
i literally ended up cleaning a lot while watching this! Now I need to read her book. She is so inspiring and kawaii!
I wish I knew Japanese. I really want to hear what she has to say but not through an interpreter. I am a pretty organized person and also have read and keep reading on the subject. I loved this book. I already do a lot of what is in it, but still found a wealth of fine-tuning information. I love it and highly recommend you get the book for yourself.
Her expertise and teaching are great. Also; wow, she is a beautiful, charming, well-spoken woman. She is a glowing embodiment of the values of tradition, modesty, and respect. We need more of this in the world please.
This translator doesn't properly capture or convey what Kondo is saying... :( Which is such a shame, considering Talks at Google is quite a large platform for this message.
Try to follow the book You will be surprised You will have the most wonderful thing , believe me .
