Even the world's tidiest organizer has no chance against three messy kids.
Professional organizer Marie Kondo helped thousands of people spark joy by tidying their homes and removing things that no longer serve them.
Now that she has young children, she's changed her habits a little.
Kondo's methods centered around keeping only items that "spark joy."
So, unless that old dishrag that grandma Beth got you ten years ago sparks joy, get rid of it.
Her methods were brought to the mainstream several years ago through her books, webinars and a hit Netflix show "Tidying Up with Marie Kondo."
Now, the decluttering master says her home is a little messy, and that's okay.
In an interview with Washington Post, Kondo explained, "Up until now, I was a professional tidier, so I did my best to keep my home tidy at all times. I have kind of given up on that in a good way for me. Now I realize what is important to me is enjoying spending time with my children at home."
Although I think everyone's definition of messy differs. What's messy to the worlds cleanest women is probably what my home looks like after a deep clean.
Either way, Kondo still lives by the same methods of concentrating on sparking joy, and that means allowing some mess in order to be with her kids.
