Assess the situation
In Marie Kondo’s new series on Netflix, she encourages clients to empty all of the objects in their cupboards and closets so they can get a full picture of what they own. Once someone does that, they can better assess what to keep and what to toss.
Ask yourself whether an object sparks joy
Another one of Kondo’s tried and true tactics is to ask yourself whether an item—be it a T-shirt or a book—makes you happy. If it doesn’t, you can safely get rid of it.
Give yourself time
“When you start consciously going through your stuff, knowing there’s an emotional connection, you’re going to feel better,” June Saruwatari, author of Behind the Clutter, recently told Fast Company. Her advice is to purge slowly and methodically. “Pick up one item at a time.”
Next, always keep the future in mind…..
