Unpacking and tidying up are almost one of the same thing
For this article, we're looking at the most useful tips from Marie Kondo's Netflix show "Tidying Up With Marie Kondo." If you want to get your life and home in order, you should start watching this show for some inspiration. After being moved by one the many local movers Dallas had to offer, your new home may be too cluttered. Don't worry though, for these tips might save your life!
- Unpack your items by size. Sorting similar things together is a principle that makes sense. However, Marie Kondo takes it a step further saying items with a similar size should be stored together as well. It's logical: by putting small items with other small items, you ensure that nothing gets lost. It also ensures that you always know where things are in your home
- KonMari also recommends that you keep as many of these items in drawers, for the sake of keeping clutter minimal
- Store items based on frequency. See, most of the rules that Marie Kondo lays out follow basic logic. They'll often make you say "well, of course!" One of her most simple tips is to put items you use often where you can easily reach them. Things you use less should be placed in those harder to reach spots
- It'll get worse before it gets better. This matches her other tip, which is to pile things up. You'll type "companies with packing service Dallas" in your search browser, hire your movers, and they'll pack your home in no time. However, they may not pack everything in a specific order you wanted to. This is why you'll have to unpack every single box, and pile similar things together into piles. Then, work from there. It's a lengthy process, but it'll pay off
But as we know, not all of Marie Kondo's advice is just practical
In general, you want to give every item in your new home a home of its own. Let's say you finished unpacking after moving in. You follow the KonMari way, put everything in a pile, and start thinking one more time. Maybe, before the move, you didn't want to get rid of a certain item, but now you found yourself not having any space or use for it. In that case, don't just throw it away. Pass it on onto someone else, you'll make your home tidier, and your item might "spark joy" in someone else. You want to keep items that spark joy and induce nothing but happiness in you. This may be a good time to say that, if you want all of your items to arrive to your home in one piece and to "spark joy", look for good companies with moving services Dallas has to offer.
Another very important thing when it comes to the KonMari way of tidying up and unpacking is to be thankful for your home. Treat it like it has a mind of its own, or like it's your own personal shrine. The whole thing about the KonMari method is to be comfortable in your own home. It's your safe haven that protects you and where you can feel safe, whether it's a luxurious house or a small apartment. That said, you obviously want to keep your home clean and tidy so you'll feel better inside of it!

You can't be happy in your home if you can't live in it with ease, and especially not if there's clutter all over the place. Of course, when you first move in, your movers can unload your furniture and items and put them where you want, but they can't organize every little bit of your home.
