  1. “And that is the one to one project service. So in a number of cases, and I'll give you one example, when I wanted to create the cover for my audiobook, The Tao of Seneca. This was a very important project to me. I decided to use their one-to-one project service. And with this service, you can invite a specific designer to your project, agree on a price, and then work together until you're satisfied. And they allow you to iterate and provide feedback and all this stuff. And I haven't shared it yet, but we also got some incredibly good, really some of the best illustrations I've ever seen from using this one-to-one project service with a handful of different designers and illustrators. It blew my mind. 99 designs makes this all very easy and efficient. So you can check out the Tao of Seneca design and other work that I and your fellow listeners, for that matter, have done on 99 designs at 99Designs.com forward slash Tim. And right now you can get a free 90%.”

  2. “Check it out, meetundies.com forward slash Tim. You can see some of my favorite underwear. And also plenty for the ladies. That's meundies.com forward slash Tim. This episode is brought to you by 99 designs. I've used 99 designs for years for all sorts of graphic design needs. Whether you need a logo, website, book cover, or anything else, 99 designs was created to make great designs accessible to everyone and to make the process of getting designs much, much easier. So when I first started out, for instance, testing prototype covers and getting prototype covers for the four hour body, I want the contest drop. That is one option. This is a great solution if you're looking for fast, affordable design work, and the ability to choose from dozens of options risk-free. Let's say you need something late night quick turnaround. Well, people in other time zones, other countries can also help you solve that problem. Since then, I've worked with 99 designs on a separate path or a different option.”

  3. “Just drop in your email and you will get the very next one. And if you sign up, I hope you enjoy it. This episode is brought to you by Me Undies, which I'm wearing right now. Except when I'm having fancy time, and they are the most comfortable and colorful underwear I have ever owned. If you can imagine really awesome graffiti that you've seen in cities like LA or elsewhere, then turned into a print and put onto underwear, you get the idea. There's also some weird stuff like Halloween-themed camo, which I have for myself. Me undies designed an LA and made from sustainably sourced micro modal. Why is this important? It's three times softer than cotton and you feel that difference on your loins, ladies and gentlemen, they feel great. And if you don't love your first pair of mendies, they'll hook you up with a new pair or a refund. What kind of person sends in used underwear back to someone? I don't know. That makes you a strange person. Maybe you should sell them in Japan or something. But if you love the product and they make great gifts also, and for those people wondering, I go boxer briefs. If you love it, they have a subscription offer where you can save up to 33% after your first pair.”

  6. “And I've won maybe two last questions. So, this is a common question that came up, which was, what are the most common novice mistakes that bring chaos back into people's lives? So somebody reads the book, they follow the instructions, or they think they're following the instructions. What are the most common mistakes that they make that sort of bring the chaos back in?”

  7. “Suppose this is as good a place to any. I think to end it and wrap up, I think this is a question and a framework that I want to apply to a lot. I have a sign over my hallway that says simplify. It's a wooden sign that I bought from a restaurant. More of a diner, a place called Truckee in Northern California. And I think I've probably given away 70% of my things in the last few years, but nonetheless, there's always, or there seems to be for me at least an influx, which is why I was asking about the purchases as well. So this is advice that I need to heed. Where can people find Maria Sang online and June, you feel free to answer this, but on social and elsewhere, where's the best place to say hello, whether in English and Japanese, if they're different, because I'm sure they're going to be Japanese speakers listening to this as well. Could you let them know where they can?”

  10. “What about for herself? It doesn't have to be recent. It could be anything that she owns, maybe something non-obvious, right? That brings her a lot of joy. I'll give her an example just to give her some time to think. So I have something, if someone were to ask me, like, what is something strange that you have that gives you a lot of joy? So I have Yabusame, Yabusamekura, Yabusamine. And that's very strange, right? That's not something that most people have in San Francisco, but I have an antique Yabusame saddle and it makes me so happy every time I see it. So that'd be an example of something that's not like, because I could say, oh, I have a photograph of my family, but that's true for a lot of people, right? So I'm trying to identify if there's something maybe a little less”

  13. “I have a question about the inputs, and I'll tell you what I mean by that, that it seems like loving the things you own is a balance of sorts because you have things coming in that you buy, then you have things going out that you discard, and then you have things that stay that you organize. So I'd love to hear how she... Decides to buy something or not because, for instance, I think for many people, they buy something and in that moment it makes them very happy. But then six months later, it's not important anymore. It doesn't do anything. So how does she distinguish those two or just maybe she could walk us through her thought process when she's considering buying something or not?”

  14. “Hmm. Good. I like that. I'm writing that down. Can you think of a favorite failure? And I'll explain what I mean by that. This is because I think that a lot of people look at Mariasan and it's very intimidating. They go, oh gosh, she's perfect. She never makes mistakes. So what is a favorite failure? Which means maybe something that was Did not succeed or was a failure that ended up sowing the seeds for success later. Does that make sense?”

  15. “Japanese love puns. They love puns. Okay, so if she could have a message, one message on a gigantic billboard, just like a short message, not an advertisement, but just a message that she would like to get to millions of people on a huge billboard. Sort of a metaphorical question. What would the billboard say?”

  16. “And thank them for their service. Just for people who want a little bit of cultural context too, when you come home to a Japanese home, you say, and then the people there would say O-Kaidit. And then when you leave the house in the morning, you'd say something like, and then they would say, which is like, I'm going to come back. And then they would say, well, go and come back. Effectively, it sounds weird when you literally translate it, but that's part of Japanese culture with your family or in my case with my host family. You would leave, say, your bit and then everybody would sort of have a chorus back. And when you get home, you say taiman, then everyone would say, welcome home effectively. Besides her own books, what books has she gifted the most to other people as presents”

  17. “When she gets home for the day, so at the end of the day, so we talked about the first 90 minutes. So I'd like to talk about maybe the last 90 minutes. Does she have any particular wind-down routines or pre-bed routines, anything like that that are important to her?”

  20. “I'd like to switch gears a little bit and talk about her routines. So what are some of the routines say in the first 90 minutes of her day? Like what is the first 90 minutes of her day look like? When does she wake up? What are the rituals that are important, if any? Just that first, like from waking up to lunch, what's important and what does her routine look like?”

  21. “It seems like the gratitude piece, the thanking is a very important part of the release. It provides a closure for a lot of this. Which I find fascinating because in a way, there's a quote, I'm going to get the attribution wrong. It's Neil something or other, NEAL, but the quote is, and I'm probably going to get this slightly wrong too, the suffering ends when the gratitude begins. So I feel like that could be applied to a lot of things, including the cleaning itself or the rather tidying. What are some of the most misunderstood parts of her method? Like when I'm sure there are people out there, like with my work or anyone else's work who say Tim recommends this. And I like, wait a second, I don't actually recommend that at all, right? So what are some misunderstanding, common misunderstandings about her method?”

  22. “And at that point, what if you have objects that don't necessarily give you joy, but they gave another person joy. So you feel guilt. So you hold it, you know it doesn't give you joy, but you still feel guilty because it gave your mother joy or your father joy. How would she suggest they talk to themselves or what should they say to themselves to fix that?”

  23. “How would you suggest people let go of objects that they inherit from people who die? This was a common question that came up because they feel tremendous guilt about these objects that come from say a mother or a father who dies. What would your suggestions be to those people?”

  24. “The amount doesn't really matter as much. It's about finding the balance that makes you happy. And as long as that's the case, then it's permissible insofar as it reminds me of, and my fans are probably sick and tired of hearing about me talk about Seneca and Stoicism. But Stoics would talk about, in the case of Seneca, for instance, riches not being the problem. So you're allowed to have riches as long as the riches don't have you, if that makes sense. So in other words, I mean, it sounds like she's also saying that you can have belongings as long as those are belongings that give you joy, but not when the things we own start owning us.”

  25. “There we go. Yeah, that's the closest. That's probably the closest word. How is the Konmadi method different from minimalism? Or when people ask her, is the Konmadi method minimalism? How does she answer that? Right. So I think I can, I mean, it sounds like this is very fun for me to explore because what Mariasam was just explaining is that in minimalism, you're really focusing on reduction and the sort of minimal amount as the objective, whereas in her method, please correct me if I get any of this wrong.”

  26. “The folding method, and it was very Natsukashi. Natskashi is one of those words that's kind of hard in Japanese for those people who speak any Portuguese. It's a little similar to Saudaj, but it's a little hard to translate into English. Makes me think fondly of my experience in Japan.”

  27. “So I was very happy to see her folding method the first time I saw it, which for those people who are familiar, and I'm not going to do it justice, but if you're imagining, for instance, t-shirt laying out in front of you, you fold the arms in on either side into a vertical column effectively and then folding it up so that it could be set vertically in a shelf, for instance. But it's also very similar to how I used to fold my judo uniform. And so I got used to when I was in Japan at age 15 as an exchange student. I was in part of the club system, sports were mandatory, so they call that Bukatzu and I went into the Judobu. So every day I would have to very nicely fold up my judo uniform two or three times. And so I got very accustomed to folding the clothing and then I would tie it with the belt, the obi and put it over my shoulder and off to the train I went. So I saw.”

  28. “That's what one of my ex girlfriends did a few years ago, but she took, she did it in a very clever way. She would say, and I'm not that messy, but I tend to have a lot of certain things or I used to. And she would say, why don't we just give away one of these and then let me organize the space? And then if you don't like it, I can put it back the way it was. So she would volunteer that way. And of course, maybe I'm just too lazy, but once it was fixed, it looked better, felt better. It's like, no, of course I'm not going to ask you to turn it back how it was. But she was very good at getting that foot in the door. So in any case, so question about kids. I want to talk about kids a little bit. So how would you suggest helping to instill the habit of tidiness into kids? Are there any routines or practices that you can have?”

How would she suggest people deal with a family member who is, I'm sure this is a very common question, a family member who is a hoarder or does not clean up, keeps old magazines, old this, old that? Like, how would she suggest, it could be anything, but how would she suggest that they, what would her recommendations be to those people?”

Just in general, maybe they think it's important, but they're like, okay, I'll take a look at that, but then they focus on other things.

  36. “So it sounds like it had a negative connotation for the act of cleaning up with a focus on throwing things out, sort of acquired a negative connotation. So the sparking joy I want to talk about because I think people who've read your books will be familiar with some of these concepts, but for people who haven't read the books, I'll take a stab at it. One of the things you're known for, you've been known for many different things, but one would be looking at things in terms of, say, categories instead of rooms, right? Then you also have holding these objects in your hands once you put everything in a category, say, on the floor, and asking if it sparks joy. So I want to talk about the Japanese version of that. So is the word tokime? So, I would love for her to describe in Japanese what it feels like when It's an object that she should keep”

I don't know what that translates to exactly, but at a Shinto shrine. And I'm really interested in talking about that. So could you maybe tell the story, if that's accurate, of how she became involved with the Shinto shrine and just to maybe help describe the experience? Because a lot of my fans have asked, To hear more about maybe that Shinto influence because they see some of that influence in her recommendations. Maybe that's at least their impression.”

Maria is as lovely, 10 times lovelier than you would hope in your wildest dreams, really just one of the most calming, fascinating people I've met in a long time. We dig into Shintuism. We dig into her upbringing. We dig into specific nitty gritty details of her method. We talk about how it applies elsewhere. We talk about morning routines. We talk about all sorts of stuff.

I need to organize my brain. Her books have sold more than seven million copies and have been published in more than forty countries. Now, Kondo goes way beyond just author in Japan. Her methods have become so famous that her last name has become a verb, condoing, and people who share her specific values worldwide are referred to and refer to themselves as converts with a K. She's been named one of Time magazine's one hundred most influential people. She's also the founder and chief visionary officer of Comadi Media, incorporated KMI, which is a US based startup with the mission to organize the world by combining the power of technology in a network of converts”

Her method is really a way of life and a state of mind, and I observed this in person. I've spent some time with her since. She has the most calming voice imaginable, which is why I play a decent amount of her speaking Japanese in this. And for those long-term listeners, you know that I lived in Japan in high school. I love Japan and Japanese. And we were very, very lucky to have Jun Gremminger, who works with Madie to fill in last minute we had an interpreter cancellation of sorts, logistical, a snafu, and June slipped in very seamlessly to help with everything.

She is a Japanese organizing consultant, author, and entrepreneur, also known as Kon Madi, and you can find her on Twitter and elsewhere at Madia Kondo. That's M A R I E K O N D O. And you probably know her because of a book. And the book is the life-changing magic of tidying up, the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing, which has sold a gazillion copies. It has become a movement. She developed this particular method of organizing, which is known as the Konmadi method, which you can see is an inversion of her name, which consists of gathering together everything you own one category at a time and then keeping only those things that quote spark joy. And we actually talk about how that is translated in Japanese.”
