[quote=Anonymous]One of the best tips I heard this year is that every single item in your house is calling out to you. This is building a silent to-do list and can cause you to have less energy, or even feel anxious. So think about whether the item you are looking at is something you want to look at, care for, and think about for the next x number of years, or whether you'd rather let it go and not have to have it take up physical and mental space. I'm not sure if I'm explaining this right. It's from a Japanese book about minimalism.

The other tip is to not feel like you have to hold on to items connected to old versions of yourself, or perhaps old versions of who you wanted to be. So I can choose to keep my old college novels and teaching materials that I haven't touched in 15 years (old versions of self) and I can choose to hang onto those balls of yarn and crochet needles I bought several years ago when I thought I might be interested in crochet (old version of who I wanted to be), or I could move on and embrace my current self and current desires.
