Though her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up already had many followers, Marie Kondo’s new show on Netflix has inspired many of us in the office to take a good look at our own homes. If you’re in the trenches of home organization, Nashville Public Radio has a plethora of podcast episodes to stay with you through every step of the KonMari process.
1. Clothing
Clothing is the first category for sorting. Robert Person, Sr., who was profiled on Neighbors, has taken care of the shoes of Nashville for 70 years.
Listen: “Shine Service“
2. Papers
Collecting and sifting through papers is likely the most dry phase of tidying up. Use Keeping Score‘s first classical mixtape to keep you dancing while you throw out those old receipts and appliance manuals.
