Are you toying with the idea of konmari-ing your home? If so, you’re likely debating if you should tidy up on your own or get to work with a professional – a.k.a. a Certified KonMari Consultant (CKC). To help you make this decision, I’m listing 9 benefits of working with a KonMari Consultant in the following.
1) Accountability
A CKC holds you accountable to show up and do the work as you schedule sessions in advance and likely have a working contract. Your willingness to tidy is much higher than if you were to tidy on your own w/o an accountability partner. Accountability is also higher – as opposed to working with a friend, for example – because you’re paying a CKC to be there with you (on top of her expertise, overall guidance and many, many other things).
2) Encouragement
Sometimes it can get difficult along the way. That’s when a CKC comes in as she encourages you throughout the entire KonMari process. She cheers you on when you need cheering on and shows you that you got this.
3) Physical Support
Obviously, a CKC helps you do the physical work (unless she supports you virtually, of course) of removing items from their original places to gather them in categories. She takes the lead and helps you sort, categorize, fold and organize items into their new homes. Ultimately, this is a huge time saver as you’re two people working on your things.
4) Emotional Support
A CKC is there for you when you need someone to listen to your story about items that bring back memories or emotions. She coaches you through making the right decisions for those difficult items you don’t quite know whether to keep or part with. Sometimes tidying sessions can feel like therapy sessions and pretty enlightening as many of my customers have told me.
5) Project & Time Management
At the beginning of your tidying festival, a CKC assesses your space and stuff and takes charge of managing your KonMari project. She makes sure that your tidying festival is scheduled and planned out so that you finish in a timely manner and at the same time manages your expectations.
6) Customized Guidance
Every single person is different. Thus, everyone’s KonMari journey is different. A CKC provides you with customized guidance specifically designed for you on your Konmari journey. A working strategy, tools and resources all tailored to your unique circumstances and needs.
7) Feedback
A CKC provides you with real-time feedback on everything related to KonMari, decluttering, organizing, placement, storage and more. Since you’re working with a professional (and not, let’s say, with a friend or relative), this feedback is guaranteed to be objective and unbiased.
8) Resources
Another benefit of working with a CKC is that you can take advantage of not only her expertise and experience in the areas of decluttering and organizing but also, for example, her knowledge of how and where to donate, sell or recycle the things you said goodbye to. In addition, she likely has knowledge in the areas of productivity, time management and style – just to name a few. It comes with the territory.
9) Increased Success Rate
Working with a CKC means effectiveness, efficiency and thus an increased completion and success rate (meaning you’ll STAY clutter-free and organized for good). You’ll not only finish your KonMari tidying in as short amount of time as possible but you’ll also do it correctly (!) because you work with a professional who knows what she does.
