According to Marie Kondo, socks are not just a casual piece of clothing, but companions that serve us throughout the day. They carry us daily on our journeys, protecting our feet from the cold, the roughness of the terrain and providing us with comfort and support.
Why socks deserve our gratitude and tender care
After a full day of exertion, socks are tired and “exhausted” from our activities – whether you’ve been at work all day, running, playing sports, or just walking around town. They therefore deserve our care and respect.
Key principle:
Handle the socks gently. Stuff them in a drawer, don’t gather them into tangled balls, and store them with gratitude for their service. And they will serve you again with love.
“Never, ever tie your stockings and socks. Never, ever make balls out of socks.”

The main idea behind the KonMari method is to only have things that bring you joy and benefit. It is not important to have a lot of socks, but to have the right ones that make you happy.
When you come home in the evening tired, remember them. They are tired just like you. They deserve love, tenderness and care.
Take care of them with gratitude and respect. Because even little things like socks can say a lot about how we approach life.
