How minimalism has played an important role in Sarit’s personal journey and in her work with clients
What minimalism means to Sarit. It’s not what you may think!

How Sarit has navigated setting up her business in both Sweden and Israel and the differences in both cultures when it comes to tidying
What makes a good KonMari Consultant in Sarit’s view
Sarit's favorite tidying tip:
"It's important that when you open your wardrobe and feel that it is pretty to look at. It's not about the number of clothes but that you put things around you that spark joy."
What sparks joy for Sarit:
"Soon, I will be in Tel Aviv to lead a workshop on minimalism. It's going to be one of the biggest events I have done so far."
Sarit’s parting words of wisdom:
"Many people are concerned with the habits of others in their homes. But I have found that if you change your habits, you will be able to help others."

Gems:
- "You will know exactly what you need and don't need. It must work for you."
- "Combining the two things, KonMari and miinimalism, was something that felt unique."
- "Who needs five boxes of pasta at any one time?"
- "I think there are two things to teach kids. The first is to learn to tidy and the second is to carefully chose the things they want in their lives."
- "It's so important for a KonMari Consultant to have compassion."
