9、wrote her famous book before she became a mother. At that time, she aimed for a perfectly organized home. But she now adds that she understands two important things about parenting: First, children often make a mess. And second, time and energy are limited.Kondo says her expectations for tidying up

10、"definitely changed" after having children. She questions her previous ideas. When things get very busy, Kondo has learned to ease her rules for order and organization. Kondo's words may please some parents. Several years ago, she faced criticism for having no real idea how messy child

11、ren can be, and how disorganized busy parents can become.Some parents rejected the main principle of Kondo's tidying method-a method she named KonMari". That principle is cleaning up a large number of things all at once. She suggested that when you organize your books, you should organize a

12、ll of your books. If you organize your clothes, you should organize all of your clothes.Tidying up, she wrote in her book, should be a special event and not something you do every day or every week. Her "KonMari" method, she claimed, would keep mess from returning under normal circumstance

They also felt happier and more satisfied with life.Others have confir

18、med that laughter can be associated with increased blood flow, improved immune response, lower blood sugar levels, and better sleep. You don't have to write a joke to obtain the benefits. Merely experiencing humor will do the trick.But there might be an even stronger reason that a sense of humor

19、 is born into the human body. Not only does humor make us smarter and healthier, but it may also make us more attractive to others.

It reduces the pain associated with life's difficulties. It exercises your brain. And it makes you happy. If a healthy sense of hu
