48 Hours of Spark Joy Program at the Effingham Public Library 

According to recent studies, being clutter free gives one a better sense of well-being.  Procrastination is linked to clutter, as are feelings of anxiety and overwhelm.  Studies have also linked obesity and clutter, because of the stress caused by all the undone cleaning tasks in the back of one's mind.  If getting more organized is one of your New Year's resolutions, then the Effingham Public Library has something to help you with your quest for an organized and clutter free home. 

Beginning on Thursday, January 5 at 5:00 PM and lasting until 5:00 PM on Saturday, January 7, you can get free access to the website of KonMari Gold Consultant, Shannon Huneycutt.  A valid email address is needed to register.  Once registered, a link for access will be sent to your email address. 

The KonMari Method is a simple but effective tidying method that was created by Marie Kondo, author of the bestsellers, The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing and Spark Joy.  With Ms. Huneycutt, participants will gain access to her website, Spark Joy Charlotte, where they will find a 60 minute recorded presentation that explains the philosophy behind the KonMari method.  There is also a video demonstrating the KonMari vertical folding method.  Attendees will receive a Spark Joy Charlotte tidying checklist that breaks apart the KonMari categories and one attendee will win the Jumpstart Your Journey virtual guide.
