Frequently Asked Questions

### How many sessions do I need to finish tidying my entire home? It depends on the factors of 1) The volume of your belongings. 2) How soon you pick up the sense of *Spark Joy*. 3) Time, dedication and focus you contribute. 4) If you manage to finish home assessments. ### Can I have someone else do it for me? The session is like a learning experience. It requires you to touch and feel everything you own to decide what to keep. To deliver the long-lasting result, you must be present. ### I want to skip discarding and go right into organising, can I? While you are 100% in control of making the decision to keep something or not. It's important to go through everything before diving into organising. Otherwise Beyond Tidy can't deliver the ultimate result for you. ### What preparation do I need before the session start? You will need a good internet connection and a device with a camera. A good night sleep and have some bin bags and recycling bags around. Arrange a carer for anyone who needs your attention, so you are not distracted. ### What to expect during the sessions? During the tidying process or in between sessions, your home might be messy temporary, but when you finished choosing what to keep on all five categories. It will be easy to find a home for everything you own. ### Do I have to go through everything I own? Yes, and that's the whole point of the process. We respect your privacy. If there is something you'd like to remain private, please keep them aside and lock away. Notify ahead before the session. ### Do I have to follow the 5 Categories order? The five categories order is to help you warm up the sense of Spark Joy. It begins with the easiest category - Clothing. By the time you move forward to the last category - sentimental items, you should be already very clear of what Spark Joy means to you. If you wish to change the order, we could discuss your needs during the phone consultation. ### Does Beyond Tidy provide cleaning and clutter removing service? Cleaning and tidying are two different events. Cleaning after decluttering will be much easier. Beyond Tidy does not provide cleaning or removal service. Our role is to guide you through the process. You are in charge of making decisions and discarding. ### Can me and my partner or other family members join the session? Anyone who wants to tidy with the KonMari Method™ is welcome. However, it's best if everyone starts the session at the same time. If people who share the same home with you are not interested in tidying as you do, don't worry and be patience, tidying is contagious. ### Can I tidy up things that do not belong to me? We will only tidy up things that belong to whoever joining the session.
