Folding Socks... the KonMari Way:

So, I'm sure you've heard about Marie Kondo, Japanese Organizing Consultant and Author of The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. This best-selling guide provides detailed guidance for determining which items in your house "spark joy" (and which don't), helping you clear the clutter and enjoy the unique magic of a tidy home. While I have yet to read the whole book, I have watched a few YouTube videos based on this concept, including her video on folding a perfect underwear drawer. In this quick blog post, I'll share my before and after photos (no, not of my underwear drawer!), but my socks, of which she included in this short video: 

After watching this video, I immediately grabbed my sock bin (that I have in my closet to save drawer space) that was overloaded with socks, started purging the socks I didn't want anymore (DONATE THESE TO HOMELESS SHELTERS - they are the least donated and most needed item there), and folded the keepers the KonMari way...

Before

After

Much better! Now I can grab my fuzzy, comfy socks when my feet are cold without having to dig to the bottom! I had some room leftover for the thin socks I donated, but I never wore them anyway (and they did not "spark joy")! Now I just have what I use and I can see what I have!

Want to buy her book? I do! Here is my affiliate link to Amazon where you can purchase the hardcover today for $10.29 (normally $16.99):
