"The Tidy Lifestyle Doctor" will discuss the lifestyle benefits of the KonMari Method of tidying and decluttering in the free program.

STRATFORD, CT — (Contributed): The Stratford Library will present "KonMari, The Funny Word That Declutters Your Life,” an informative and entertaining presentation about the lifestyle benefits of the KonMari Method of tidying and decluttering at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 9.

Certified Platinum KonMari Consultant Christine Thorn will present the free program.

In addition to detailing the life-changing benefits of KonMari’s category-by-category system of tidying, Christine Thorn will explain how it focuses on keeping only those items which bring joy to your life, rather than on what needs to be eliminated, and discusses the importance of the fundamental KonMari question: Does this spark joy?
