Decluttering at the Speed of Life: Winning Your Never-Ending Battle with Stuff

Product Information

Even though the Konmari method has been very influential on my own decluttering journey, Decluttering At The Speed Of Life feels like its written by someone who actually has struggled with letting go of clutter. A lot of the clutter came into my house this way. I had an eye for finding bargain furniture that need repairing (with the idea of reselling it). Except the finding became a lot more fun and easier than the restoration work. I thought the purpose of containers was to hold stuff. That's why I kept buying more when the ones I had were full and I still had stuff that needed to be held.

Secondly, I went into this book thinking it wasn’t really possible to change the way I think about my stuff, and finally get some things out of our home. I was wrong! I’m in the beginning stages, but I’m walking around my home for the first time ever and looking at it as a container. Dana has given me the permission I need to throw away and donate stuff instead of just figure out how to reorganize the stuff we have spilling out everywhere. Harness the power of categorizing when organizing your items. Group them based on their function, frequency of use, or the room they belong to. This will pave the way for an easy, clutter-free retrieval system. Living for now became my new goal: living in the house we have, in the city where we are, and in the moment when we're alive.I’d hold each scarf up, maybe try it on, and analyze it for its inherent worthiness. I might even research which colors look best with my skin tone. I might close my eyes, take a deep breath, and try to recall how I felt the last time I wore each one. Identify the emotions – It may be nostalgia, guilt, fear of scarcity, or another emotional response. Understand why you’re holding on.
