După aceea, pentru tot restul vieții, nu va mai fi nevoie decât să alegi ce să păstrezi și ce să arunci.Metoda KonMari nu îți va transforma doar spațiul de locuit. După ce ai făcut ordine în casă, vei constata că întreaga ta viață se va schimba. Vei căpăta mai multă încredere în tine, succesul te va însoți, vei avea mai multă energie și te vei simți mai motivat să duci viața pe care ți-o dorești. De asemenea, vei dobândi curajul să lași în urmă aspectele negative ale vieții tale: vei recunoaște o relație care-ți face rău și îi vei pune capăt; anxietatea te va părăsi și, în sfârșit, vei scădea în greutate.„Kondo ne provoacă să ne întrebăm dacă obiectele care ne înconjoară servesc unui scop. Ne fac să avansăm în viață sau ne țin atașați de trecut?“ – USA Today

If you have that in place, the rest takes care of itself."Perfection is not the intention.""Create a home for yourself that's neat, not neurotic.""An organized life simplifies."
