Event Overview

• Overwhelmed by the things in your home? By the mess? By the chaos?


• Not sure where to start?


• Feel hopelessness, shame, or frustration when it comes to the state of your home?


• Want to transform home into a place of calm and organization?

"I Can't: Organize My Home" is part of Mac & Cheese Productions' I Can't series, where adults state they're unable to do something, they try it with a bunch of other adults who also "can't," and everyone proves themselves wrong and not only does the thing, but enjoys it and says, "That wasn't so bad. In fact, kinda fun. Good for me! What's next?!" As at camp, topics and structure are varied but the "be yourself amongst others being themselves, witness the magic that happens when you try with others trying" vibe is pervasive.

For this edition, Mac & Cheese is partnering with Chicago’s first certified KonMari Tidying Consultant, Kristyn Ivey of For the Love of Tidy. Kristyn will share home organization tips that focus on what you keep (does it “spark joy?”), rather than what or how much you discard. Learn about Marie Kondo’s revolutionary Japanese decluttering method made popular by Netflix’s “Tidying Up” series.

This workshop will help you lead with gratitude and become an extension of a home that you honor and respect. It includes an overview of KonMari fundamentals and practical decluttering tips that fall under five signature KonMari categories: Clothing, Books, Paper, Miscellaneous items, and Sentimental items. Enjoy a live demonstration of the signature KonMari Folding technique. We'll also discuss common myths and missteps as we address how to overcome your unique clutter challenges and barriers to success and true abundance.

You’ll leave with —

• A thorough understanding of how to apply Marie Kondo’s KonMari Method of tidying up to your home


• Answers to your burning tidying questions


• A fully developed vision of your ideal lifestyle and living environment, per professional guided instruction


• A clear plan of action and tidying schedule that ensures you keep your one-time tidying event top priority


• An illustrated signature KonMari Fold instruction sheet
