Japanese decluttering queen Marie Kondo, who is known for keeping things tidy and removing any kind of clutter, has accepted that even she will not be able to maintain a spotlessly clean and tidy home after the birth of her third child in 2021.
The decluttering queen admitted that she had "kind of given up" on maintaining an immaculately clean and tidy home while speaking at a webinar, according to the Washington Post.
"My house is messy, but the way I spend my time is the right way for me at this time, at this stage of my life," Kondo said, the outlet reported.
"Until now, I have been a professional neat freak, so I have done my best to keep my home tidy at all times," she said. Kondo added that she now understands what is important to her.
"I've kind of given up on that in a good way for me. Now I realise that what is important to me is to enjoy spending time at home with my children," Kondo said.
The author's tidying technique, known as the KonMari method, has helped many of her followers clear their homes of clutter and, according to Kondo, has changed their lives.
Her technique has made Kondo a household name around the world. The decluttering queen has also written a book about the KonMari method and Netflix has produced a series based on it.
"Tidying up our homes and our surroundings is also a way of tidying up our minds," she said. Kondo added that by tidying our brains and hearts, we can see what we really want.
