– Hold on to items you use daily or weekly—these serve a clear purpose in your life.
– You don’t need three can openers or five pairs of scissors—keep just one that works well.
– If something makes you happy or has deep personal meaning, it's worth keeping.
– If you haven’t used it in a year, chances are you won’t need it—free up that space.
– Choose durable, well-made items over having lots of things that don’t last.
Don’t keep things out of guilt or obligation—your space should reflect your present, not your past.
