FAQs

  • Apple Seed Organizing uses the KonMari Method™ of organizing. Rather than organizing for you, your certified KonMari Consultant walks alongside you to teach you skills so you stay organized long after your consultant leaves.

    If traditional methods of organizing have not worked for you in the past or you are looking for a bigger life change, Apple Seed Organizing may be right for you.

  • The KonMari Method™ is a way to organize using categories instead of organizing by room or space. As you organize, you decide what to keep, rather than what to get rid of. Gratitude and joy are fundamental to the KonMari Method™ and what makes it unique. The KonMari Method™ uses a "joy check process" to help you decide what items to keep.

  • The KonMari Method™ empowers clients to make choices about their home lifestyle. It is a common misconception that the KonMari Method™ is a minimalist practice or that it is focused on throwing things away. The KonMari Method™ teaches you the skills to first choose what you want in your home, and then organize your home in a way that has a lasting impact. Your KonMari Consultant is there to guide you, advise you on storage practices, and provide support. You will be the one to make decisions about the items in your home and how you want to live your ideal lifestyle.

  • The process is different for everyone. Sessions are usually conducted in three-hour blocks. There may be tasks, or “homework,” to complete after a session is over as well. As you hone your organizing skills, you may find that your speed and confidence increase as you become more familiar with the process. Once you start the process, it is best to move as quickly and confidently as you can.

  • During the first session, you will provide a home tour to your KonMari Consultant to help them better understand your needs and the way your house functions. You will also put into words your ideal lifestyle or home to help guide future decisions. A discussion on expectations for the remaining process will be covered and it is also your time to ask any questions before getting started.
