You will need
- One drawer or one cupboard. Not the whole house. A bag, a cloth.
How to
- Take everything out of the drawer and lay it on the table.
- Hold each thing for a moment and ask: "Do you belong in my life now?" The answer comes faster from your hands than from your head.
- Whatever needs to go, goes in the bag. With each item, say: "Thank you, you may go."
- Wipe the drawer and put back only what belongs.
- Carry the bag out of the house the same day. Notice how much lighter one drawer can make a whole person.
What takes up room without giving may go. I'm not clearing to be perfect. I'm clearing so I can breathe.
