“Posljednjih nekoliko godina sam bezuspješno pokušavala završiti KonMari proces u svom domu. Zbog mog ADHD-a, pospremanje mi je jako bitno ali i jako teško u odnosu na prosječnu osobu. Kada je moje okruženje pretrpano (kao što je to gotovo uvijek bilo), moj se mozak ne može usredotočiti na zadatak koji mi je pri ruci. Bez obzira koliko sam se trudila, jednostavno nisam mogla završiti tako veliki zadatak! Sve se promijenilo kada sam počela raditi s Root of Joy. Upoznali smo se online s obzirom da ja živim u inozemstvu, što je učinilo zakazivanje termina iznenađujuće lakim i fleksibilnijim nego što bi bilo osobno.
Neću se pretvarati da je ovaj proces bio brz ili lagan. Mnogo dana sam navečer iscrpljena pala u krevet samo da bih sljedećeg jutra ponovno krenulo sve ispočetka. Ispitivanje svakog i posljednjeg predmeta kojeg posjedujete vas doista natjera da se suočite sa svojim nedostacima i ponovno procijenite svoje prioritete. No upravo je taj proces ono što KonMari metodu čini posebnom. Prava čarolija metode nisu vidljivi rezultati u vašem domu, već jasnoća koja se događa unutar vas.
Mogu odlučno reći da ne bih bio uspješna u dovršenju ovog procesa da nije bilo Petre iz Root of Joy. Petra me držala odgovornom i davala mi je nepokolebljivu podršku dok sam donosila mnoge teške odluke. Znala je najbolji redoslijed za rješavanje svake kategorije, a naučila me principima spremanja tako dobro da sam mogla organizirati neke stvarno zeznute prostore bez njezine pomoći. Odlična profesionalna organizatorica poput Petra nikada neće donijeti odluku umjesto vas, već će vas usmjeriti da sami procijenite što “iskri radost” i gdje u vašem domu pripadaju vaši dragi predmeti.
Sada i službeno mogu reći da je svaki predmet u mojoj kući promišljeno odabran jer mi čini život ljepšim ili funkcionalnijim. Svaki od tih predmeta ima svoje mjesto i lako se odlaže. Moj dom je sada miran, radostan i živahan na način na koji nikad prije nisam osjećala, a sve zahvaljujući Petrinoj stručnosti.
Hvala ti, Petra, što si mi pomogla preobraziti moj dom!”

“I thought my workspace where I keep my materials was tidy. But each time after taking something specific, I couldn't get it back to the same place because ... there was no more place!! And then the stacking starts again: remove everything from the shelf, put it back on the shelf ... take some material, there is no place to put it back...and so, in a circle for years. As much as I wanted order, I didn't have it.
One day I clicked on the Konmari method. Interesting stacking. It seems simple... Wow, we also have our own Konmari consultant - Petra. Should I call her or not!? Let`s do it! Why not, she can`t see me, or messy space during a phone call! I send Petra an e-mail and the answer arrived immediately! What now?! Alas, someone will enter my territory! Petra enters the space: she watches and enjoys! I am terribly ashamed! Shine in her eyes, a smile on her face! She already started to organize! Let's go! We took everything out of place ... and it was a lot! Her first question confused me, but also somehow freed me ... There were questions, answers ... delight, joy, enjoyment... It lasted for days (and nights), but it was worth it!!
The sewing space is now wow - everything arranged by categories, designs ... just beautiful!! Everything visible, easily accessible ... but I couldn`t get back to sewing. Because, how to work while the whole house is in a huge mess? The whole family started tidying ... and after a month of almost daily work, only the things that are in use remained in the house.
I started sewing again two months after the arrival of Petra, to whom I sincerely thank, and to others who do not know how to start tidying, stacking ... I recommend Petra, a young woman who encourages so much, but lets the person do at their own pace, and then the journey starts with a smile. Once you get to know Konmari method, you keep applying it in other areas of your life. Thank you for stepping into my workspace! It was worth it!
Dear Petra, thank you!!!"

"U početku mi se činilo da je cijeli proces preveliki zalogaj za mene te mi je cilj bio samo kuhinju organizirati pomoću Konmari metode. Ideja da baš svakoj stvari u kući pronađem njezino mjesto i da to mjesto poštujem činila se kao nešto divno, ali nedostižno. Konmari festival je bio fizički i emocionalno iscrpljujuć, ali nagrada je bila iznad svih očekivanja. Sada kada sa ulaza pogledam u svoj životni prostor osjetim prozračnost i lakoću koja prije nije bila tu. Svaki povratak kući je povratak na najljepše mjesto na svijetu. Danas više uživam u procesu odabira detalja za svoj dom, što moj dom čini mojim. Nadalje, uspostavljanje reda u kuhinji stvorilo je okruženje u kojem sam mogla napraviti temeljite promjene u prehrani i razviti novi odnos s hranom i pripremom obroka."

“Although I am always sceptical of anything unconventional, Petra left me without arguments in a few hours. With her extremely cheerful and positive attitude, she proved to me that every object can find its place in the house. The biggest difference is that my house is no longer only organized at first glance but also behind closed cabinet doors, shelves, or closed drawers. A seemingly plain cardboard box turned the messy interior of the closet into a functional and neat closet, and the kitchen seemed more spacious than before because there was nothing left on the work surface. With Petra's help, within a week I fully accepted this way of organizing the home and started implementing daily her tips for a tidier and more functional home but what made me even happier was the fact that my husband and son also started to participate in this way of tidying up.”

"The Konmari method with Petra was a completely new experience. I finally got rid of the excess unnecessary things that I would probably never got rid of by myself. It is very different when you have a person next to you who knows what questions to ask to get at the bottom of the matter. The closet and bathroom were finally organized leaving excess space even six months after organizing. I recommend the Konmari method to everyone, especially if you have a person next to you like Petra."

Petra is a very self-effacing and unobtrusive advisor on how to minimize items and stuff in the apartment. She subtly gives hints, all of which are thoughtful and in my best interest. It is such fun to work with Petra and I shall invite her again. Besides she promised to send me a written "to do" list of my next steps and where to find help in other areas that needed to be changed (carpenter, stylist...) and she did. My full recommendations!
