Get rid of stuff

You know what is true for all of us?

We have too much stuff.

You guys, I have downsized my home by half over the last 3 years.

I went from 1200 square feet to 475 square feet.

I got rid of over half my stuff.

Yet still, somehow

I have so much stuff.

Let’s get rid of the stuff.

Here’s the ‘spark joy’ method.

I like setting up a longer-term cycle:

In my closet, I have a shopping bag.

Into that bag, I put clothes and odds and ends, like old frames, kitchen gadgets I know I’m never going to use.

When it’s full, I donate it.

I don’t even look at what’s in there.

If I haven’t noticed it in the month or so that it takes me to fill it up, I don’t need it anymore.

It feels so good, you guys.

Go fill up a shopping bag right now and give it to your local donations center.

Then find space in your closet for you “to go” bag to live permanently.

Free yourself from your things, my friend!
