The Tidy Home Joy Journal: A guide to organizing your home, mind, and life once and for all

I love this journal. This helped me so much with working towards maintaining my konmarie lifestyle. I return to the life map every 6 months to a year to check in with where I am at and what my next steps are. I continue to make changes to my home and the journal is a great companion to help me continue towards my life vision. In my opinion Kristyn has put all the principles together in an easy to read way, helping me be proactive on my tidying journey.

This is a great journal to help you through the KonMari method. It breaks things down into manageable chunks and helps you identify things specifically related to you. It is much easier to manage than a book to guide you through and it feels like you can actually achieve it! If you feel overwhelmed by too much information then this is the book for you :)

After reading Marie Kondo’s books, I started listening to the ‘Spark Joy’ podcast (which is fabulous). That’s where I heard about Kristyn’s journal. Although I’ve already completed my tidying festival, I feel like I haven’t fully reached where I want to be and was lacking a little direction, so I’m really excited to be using this journal as my companion for reaching that point!

I love this journal to help guide you through the KonMari method. I like the advice of checking six days off your schedule over the next 3-6 months to complete your Konmari tidying. Great Little Journal.

Like so many others, I've been motivated by the Konmari movement, fueled recently by the Netflix show. I knew I wanted to get organized, but I also wanted to get clear on the underlying motivation for why I wanted to tidy up and what changes I wanted to make in my life. This workbook is the perfect roadmap to doing just that! Through the exercises in the book, you're able to clarify your vision/motivation and also break down your organization project into steps so it's not so overwhelming! Highly recommended if you're looking to tidy up your home or life!

I am a graduate, when I heard about the book, I purchased it in a heart beat. I downsized, joyfully, and half of my beloved books are donated. This book is something however, I will keep forever. I have tried many books to declutter, downsize. All books helped but the change was not lasting until I read Konmari, the life changing magic of tidying up. I was able to let go more but still very slowly. I met Kristyn in a class in Chicago. I was one of her students when she just started her work, but her expertise and professionalism really made me feel she must have been doing it for a long time. One of the best person I have ever worked with. It was a joy to spent each session with Kristyn. Each time, my home and heart becomes lighter, I smiled more, became more confident of who I am. A tidy home a happy mind. If "The life changing magic of tiding up" is for you to truly understand the concept, This hand book is like a consultant who is sitting down with you to hold your hand through the process until it is truly part of you. So even I have completed the process, This book is something will always be there for me when I need it. The book is beautiful, holding it is a joy. Refreshing the process and memory of it is a joy, so it is also very healing for me, personally. Don't under estimate the power of this little book. If you really follow through with it, it will forever change your life to where you want to be, and to become who you want to be.

After moving from a 4 bdrm house to a 3 bdrm apartment to a 2 bdrm garden apartment and then moving in with my love I was in a state of constant clutter and overwhelm. I run my business from home, and the distractions were stealing my focus from my work, my family, and myself.Going through the journal has been an emotional and transformational experience, and Krystin is simply the best in class at organizing and helping you heal through the process to create lasting habits and not just a 'Kondo Folding High'!

I think this book will be a helpful tool in my decluttering process. If there's another printing, I think a spiral-bound book that lays flat might be nice, so you can have it lay open as you're referencing your items.

I have had the privilege of working with the author, Kristyn Ivey, as my Tidying Consultant. We are still working through my categories, but already I've noticed profound change. I appreciate the thoughtfulness and care that she has put into this amazing little book. It is a true guide and it has Sparked a lot of JOY working with it to help me clarify my goals and keep me grounded in my Tidying Festival / process. It is a workbook and textbook and coach and friend and confidant all wrapped up in one!
