The maze of everyday life
The fifth workshop of the series Free your space, free yourself — the KonMari® method for small items: more than twenty subcategories in which every little thing finds its place.
The KonMari® method for small items: more than twenty subcategories in which every little thing finds its place
Drawers where everything ends up and that no longer open, tangled cables, make-up you are not sure is still usable, tools that are never where you look for them. Small items are the most common source of clutter, because they are everywhere and nowhere at once.
This workshop takes on exactly that — komono, the miscellaneous items, the most demanding category of the Japanese KonMari® method. Across more than twenty subcategories, all the things that collect in drawers, cupboards and storage finally find their place.
The workshop stands on its own, and it is also the fifth of six themes that follow the order of the KonMari® method. I hold it in person in Zagreb or online, in Croatian or English.
What you discover at the workshop
By the end of the workshop you know:
- how to declutter and organize more than twenty subcategories of small items

What the workshop looks like
Each workshop has a theory part, practical examples and time for questions and answers. It runs for about two hours, with a warm drink and a snack.
Attendance is limited to fifteen people, because in a smaller group everyone gets to ask their question and describe their own space. Anyone who wants to go further can arrange an individual session afterwards.
The series of six workshops
You can attend this workshop on its own or as part of the series of six thematic KonMari® workshops. Each one takes a different part of the home, the workspace and everyday life, and together they follow the order of the method:
- When space becomes yours — the foundations and the home as a whole
- Clothes that carry you — clothing and the wardrobe
- Pages as a trace of time — books and papers
- A kitchen that feeds the soul — the kitchen and everything in it
- The maze of everyday life — komono, the miscellaneous items (this workshop)
- Memories that carry a story — sentimental items
Schedule
There is no scheduled date for this workshop at the moment. Get in touch and I will let you know as soon as new dates open, and if you gather your own group, we arrange the workshop whenever it suits you.
