First, please use the "discard" method to complete the first step of organization. Then do a short, thorough tidying up in the right order so you never go back to the original messy state.

"The so-called sorting out is the sorting out of the past."

No matter who has experienced a complete decluttering, they will experience a heart-pounding feeling, and they will actually feel the dramatic changes in their life after decluttering. This way, you won’t go back to the original cluttered state. Therefore, I call this organizing method "the magic of organizing."

I agree that "it will rebound after finishing it in one go, so let me develop the habit of organizing it a little every day."

Author's answer: As long as you adopt the correct method of tidying up, no matter how trouble-conscious or lazy you are, you can keep your room tidy for a long time.

Is it "Don't pursue perfection, start organizing slowly. Throw away one useless item every day." Or is it the psychological burden of "pursuing perfection".

Author's answer: There are roughly only two things you should do when organizing. One is to determine the abandonment of items, and the other is to set the location of items.

The urge to tidy up before an exam is just to remove some kind of "psychological barrier" through the act of tidying up.

"The storage method cannot solve the problem of organization at all. Because storage is, after all, just a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution."

Decluttering starts with discarding useless items. Moreover, until the "judgment" operation is completed, you must have enough self-control and be careful not to start the storage work.

It cannot be sorted according to "different places or rooms", but must be sorted according to "category of items".

Types of organizers that don’t know how to organize:

The only necessary tasks in organizing are "discarding items" and "setting up storage locations", and the only important thing is the order of "throwing things away first".

Decluttering is a holiday, it doesn’t have to be done every day.

Organizing should be done in one go.

Sorting type:

The trick to tidying up is to “organize thoroughly in a short period of time, once and for all”, and the “throw away” operation must be completed first.

Before throwing things away, think about your “ideal life”

"Please judge the abandonment of the item based on the heartbeat at the moment you touch it."

Collect similar items and make a one-time judgment.

Strictly speaking, in addition to their own value, items also have three values: "function", "information" and "emotion". In addition, there is also the element of "rarity".

To sum up, the "basic order of smoothly discarding items" should be as follows: clothes first, then books, documents, small items, and finally souvenirs.

It is considerate not to let family members see the discarded items, and more importantly, it is to prevent them from adding to their belongings.

When giving items to others, you must be mentally prepared that the other person does not want to accept your extra items.

Keep reducing items until the "right amount of enlightenment" arrives.

Under what circumstances does a person feel happy? This question can only be answered by the parties involved. Because owning and choosing items is absolutely a very personal act.

The key point in setting the fixed positions of items is that the fixed positions of all items should be set "one by one".

If you can choose the items correctly, the room you live in now and the storage space can be used to store the items you keep. This is the “magic of organizing” that I advocate.

There are only two necessary categories for storage, namely "classification by owner" and "classification by item".

The classification method of items when storing is the same as when discarding, in order: clothes, books, documents, small items, and souvenirs.

The key point at this time is to arrange one storage area per person as much as possible and adhere to the "concentrated storage method".

In order to understand yourself clearly, you can meditatively conduct self-analysis, or you can seek other people's opinions, but I think organizing is the best shortcut. The items you own will tell you exactly about all the choices you've made. Therefore, the process of sorting can also be said to be the process of taking stock of one's own gains and losses.

Reluctance to discard items occurs when you have "attachment to the past" or "uneasiness about the future."

Throwing away items is nothing more than a series of experiences judging things based on your own values. You can develop and exercise your decision-making skills by discarding items.

Just keep getting rid of items that don't make you excited. This is the only simple way to satisfy your inner needs. Based on the above, we can call this method "organizing magic".

Real life begins after tidying up.

Tidying up is an act oriented toward oneself, while cleaning is an act oriented toward nature.

The objects of tidying are objects, while the objects of cleaning are dirt. Tidying is making a room tidy by putting things to use or putting them away, and cleaning is making a room tidy by removing dirt and sweeping away dust.

I don’t know what “heart beat” is, so I start with something close to my heart.

There is absolutely no such thing as "it's better to keep it." Everything can be replaced.

Think about the real use of those "unexciting but necessary things"

There are usually only three kinds of things that make people feel like "although they are not moved, they don't want to throw them away".

"Returning to the original state" and "dispersing" are two different things. "Reply" refers to the state of things that have not been fixed in a fixed place and are scattered around the home after a perfect arrangement. No matter how scattered it is, as long as everything has its place, there's no problem at all.

What should I do if I feel like “I can’t see the end point and am frustrated” during the organizing process?

If a person does not want to do something from the bottom of his heart, then he cannot change his life.

Once you put something in the bag, it won't be used again.

Once you decide to keep an item in the "gray area", keep it with you openly, treat it equally with your favorite items, and take good care of and use it.

Those attractive items basically have three major charm elements.

Therefore, if you surround yourself with items you like and pour your feelings into them, you can turn your home into a heart-warming space like an art gallery.

Use colors and flowers to liven up a room

To truly organize, you need to keep your favorite items well and display them openly. Then, you can live a heart-pounding life every day.

Favorite items that are useless in the eyes of others but only you understand their importance should be properly displayed as decorations.

Create an “exclusive space” and let it become your own mysterious energy source

The storage location is decided at the end.

Differentiating materials is the key to good storage work

The basic principle of storage is "nine points of storage". In other words, once you pick out your favorite items, you should basically fill the drawers and other items without leaving large blanks or overflowing. This is the correct approach.

As long as you can tell where something is placed at a glance, it is enough. Putting ease of access next to items is the secret to successful storage.

Four principles of storage:

Marie-Lee's "Heartbeat Clothes Folding Technique"

Storage means thinking about "the relationship between oneself and objects" and creating a "home for objects"

Reduce furniture to make rooms more spacious and comfortable

There are only two necessary steps for organizing: one is to "choose your favorite items" and the other is to "give the items a fixed location."

Setting the fixed position of small objects only requires two steps: one is "dividing by category" and the other is "actual storage".

Let’s start with the first immutable rule: start with existing storage furniture.

The second constant rule is: first ensure the placement of relatively large objects.

There are two main reasons why I recommend “upright storage”:

Distinguish between "water" and "fire" when organizing the kitchen

Kitchen scissors should not be "hanged and stored"

“The purpose of organizing is to make every day more enjoyable.”

Organizing your souvenirs as early as possible can make your future life more exciting.

Decluttering is guaranteed to be life-changing. This doesn't mean that decluttering will help you make a lot of money or change your social status - of course, as a final result, some people will eventually achieve such success. The most important change that decluttering brings is that by decluttering, you will like yourself.

No matter who you are, once you feel the small sense of accomplishment after completing the tidying up, you will want to share the fun of tidying up with others and "enthusiastically spread" the changes that have happened to you to the people around you. Decluttering is a contagious disease.

Decluttering has the effect of adjusting love relationships

A person's interpersonal relationships can be reflected through his relationship with objects. In turn, a person's relationship to objects can be reflected in his interpersonal relationships.

There is no need to like what others like, as long as you can accept it, it is enough.

Only by calmly accepting different values ​​can we truly complete the process of sorting out

The so-called daily organization mainly includes three contents: returning things to their original places after use, remembering to thank you when using them, and taking good care of them.

Surrounded by favorite items and people, my heart beats every day

"While living, let the things around me be stained with memories. This is the way I want to live."

Objects stained with memories will leave precious time with more vivid memories.

Objects stained with memories will leave fading memories clearer in the heart.

Organizing is a process of discovering yourself
