Tidying takes off during Covid-19: Jettisoning the physical and psychic load - The Straits Times

SINGAPORE - For 10 years, Ms Eve Wee-Ang toted seven boxes of mementos with her as she moved house four times.

Ever since she left her childhood three-room Housing Board flat for her first marital home, she would "Sentence these items to imprisonment in the storeroom" in all the homes she found herself in.

She says: "The KonMari Method is very forgiving. I learnt that letting go of things which no longer give us joy gives us permission to forgive ourselves. We don't have to punish ourselves by keeping such items or feeling bad about donating them.

"We can say, 'Thank you for coming into my life; you are free to go.

Ms Wee-Ang discarded the boxes and proceeded to KonMari the rest of her home.

Ms Eve Wee-Ang has been giving KonMari courses to the expatriate community in Shanghai. Corporate clients ask her to give Zoom workshops on decluttering and mental well-being.

One client in Shanghai seemed ambivalent about the sexy dresses in her wardrobe.
