Keep shelves sparse
“My tip for keeping the kitchen tidy is to store as much as you can, and especially keep the area around the sink clear. This makes daily cleaning easy,” Kondo posted to Instagram.

Workspaces matter
Kondo is not a believer in a messy workspace. She advises clients in her book and on her show to make their deskscapes sparse and to fill them with objects that inspire. She believes sparking joy will also spark creativity.
