We asked the members of the The Spark Joy Club to send us their burning tidying questions and respond they did!
\\n\\nThe Spark Joy Club is home to over 200 tidiers in the process of organizing their own home and finding joy in all aspects of their lives. They are our own tidying laboratory and we all find solutions to so many issues we all share along the way.
\\n\\nWe want to hear from you. Tell us your burning tidying questions or share stories about how KonMari has impacted your life.
\\n\\nHead over to Apple podcasts to subscribe and review the show, which helps us reach others along their tidying journeys.
\\n\\nTo extend your tidying experience, you can join the Spark Joy Club!

\\n\\nSpark Joy Club member Question #1
\\nKatie Grosskopf asks: \\u201cTips for when you get stalled or stuck in the tidying process- how do I jump start my momentum!\\u201d
Vision is key and we discuss this all the way back in Spark Joy podcast Ep | 5 How to Visualize Your Ideal Lifestyle and Living Environment

\\n\\nSpark Joy Club member Question #2
\\nRosemary J. writes: \\u201cI\'d like some quick win ideas, to something short and sweet and easy to finish.\\u201d
We call this sorting the low hanging fruit. Those categories or subcategories are ones that you can accomplish quickly to give yourself an enthusiasm boost. Take a listen for our tips on how to accomplish a quick win.
\\n\\nSpark Joy Club member Question #3
\\nPaige Adelle asks: \\u201cI\'m interested in how to joy-check furniture. Do I move it? Do I take everything off my shelves? Do I leave furniture in sets or do one item at a time?\\u201d
For the most part, consider the use of the room and whether the furniture in that room supports it.
\\n\\nDoes the furniture in your dining area support nourishment and family gathering? Or is it just in the way? We discuss how to tidy the Komono category of furniture.
\\n\\nSpark Joy Club member Question #4
\\nMelinda Nina De J writes: \\u201cHow do we gift experiences instead of things when many places are closed for Covid?\\u201d
We discussed some options for safety during the summer, and many of them do apply all year round. Check out Spark Joy podcast Ep 139 KonMari Quick Tips: Safe Summer Fun 2020
\\n\\nSpark Joy Club member Question #5
\\nChristine Mundis writes: \\u201cHoliday decorations! I tend to hold onto decorations I\\u2019m no longer using, just in case. How do I sort holiday decorations?\\u201d
This Komono category is very closely attached to the sentimental category, so we suggest considering this category of seasonal items adjacent to sentimental. Listen for more tips on this subcategory.
