Ease Into KonMari With This Unintimidating Beginner's Guide

KonMari suggests decluttering should be broken out by category instead of by room. For example, instead of going through your linens for just your bedroom, she advises gathering all of the linens from your children's bedrooms, your bathroom, and the guest bedroom, and whittling down from one big pile.

This can be beneficial, but it can also lead you down a path that you may not be fully committed to yet. Instead of rounding up every last piece of linen you own, it is okay to loosely categorize your belongings so you don't get overwhelmed. Focusing on just the guest linens won't be as big of a project to take on, and it will be an easier feat to achieve.
