People are so obsessed with this household de-cluttering method, they're using it to transform their offices, too
Marie Kondo is a lifestyle celebrity in Japan known for helping people decrease clutter and straighten up their homes for good.
But her de-cluttering methods aren't limited to homes - they can be used to tidy up any space, including offices.
Kondo's book - "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing" - is full of tips on discarding clutter and storing what's left. In it, she encourages readers to clean everything in one fell swoop and only keep the things they truly love.
"Even in the workspace, at your job, your things should still spark joy," Kondo told Fast Company in May.
Earlier this year she told Business Insider that you can tell when something sparks joy when you "feel your body go upward." If something doesn't make you happy when you touch it, Kondo said you should "thank it for its service" and get rid of it.
"When you choose things based on your real feeling, you can choose the right amount of items to totally fit [in your space]," Kondo said. "That is surprising for everyone - this is part of the magic of tidying up."
Her book became a top seller this year and even earned her a spot on Time's 2015 "Top 100 Influential People" list.
And she's developed a fan base so huge, her followers are flooding Instagram with photos of their "kondo-ed" spaces.
Bellow you'll see inspiring images of so-called "kondo-ed" offices that people posted on Instagram and instructions on how to conquer your own workspace.
