The conflicts I’ve been having in my mind of what to keep and what to discard brings me to what it comes down to decluttering. Volumes have been written about it. The most common suggestions are to separate in boxes of keep, repair, donate, and trash. Also to discard anything that hasn’t been used in the past 3 months, 1 year, 5 years. Another one that says that “if it’s not beautiful or functional, it has to go”.
But recently, somewhere, I came across the mantra of decluttering. I just have to ask myself:
“Does this enhance my life right now?”
Given my particular circumstances for next year, I’ll adapt it to “does this enhance my life right now and/or will enhance it when I move overseas?” I’ll have to remind me of that question every time I face a tough one to let go. If the answer is negative, I know what to do…
