The draw and collection are kept at 70% full! A simple way to organize the 60-year-old online teaching teacher "just-good"

As we grow older, the more items we have at home, how to let go and what to leave are questions that many people will face. The popular network Red Life (ライフ) who runs YouTube channel "Happy Life Begins at the age of 60" shared: "Don't be too focused on 'reducing'. As long as you sort it out gently, your daily life can be more relaxed and comfortable." This article will introduce five simple sorting methods she has practiced to help everyone use their own steps to live a more satisfying life.

From "It's safe to have a lot" to "It's safe to be assured as soon as possible"

I always feel that more things are more at ease. But at a certain age, I will begin to reflect: "Do I really need these things now?" No longer taking "must reduce them", but slowly adjusting the items to "comply with your current amount" and facing the items in life with a gentler mood.

1. When there are too many things, we "use them" to reduce the

stockpiling items, we often think, "This is very expensive and rarely seen, so let's keep it." But now I tell myself, "There are too many things, and it's time to go on the stage!" It's better to use it well than to keep it without using it. When the items are used up, the space becomes refreshing and the mood will be light. Instead of "staying" to gain a sense of security, it is better to enjoy the pleasure of "using it out".

2. When something new comes, let go of the old one

I give myself a simple principle: "If something new comes into your home, you will eliminate the old one." It is not clearing everything, but maintaining a balance in a "replacement" way. For example, if you buy a new kitchen wipe, you will immediately turn on the pump to see which ones can be eliminated. Such a small habit can gradually create a living space that makes you feel good.

3. The same type of items are collected in one place.

Sometimes I suddenly find that there are three pairs of scissors and four packs of rubber bands in my home, all scattered in different corners. Dispersed things can easily make people forget that they already own them, which leads to repeated purchases. So I try to concentrate the same thing in one place. This is convenient to find and easy to take back. As long as "things are no longer lost", life will naturally become smooth.

4. The draw is filled with draws with "70% full" principle, which is actually easier to get tired than the appearance. Now I will deliberately maintain a "seven-point full" state. The space left in the blank can make it easy to get and store. Such abundance not only makes the space more comfortable, but also makes the mood more comfortable. It is better to leave some gaps than just filling it well, which is the best choice.

5. "Is this still suitable for me now?" Re-viewing item characters

Some things used to be used in the past, but have hardly been moved now. Whenever I pick up this type of item, I will ask myself, "Is it still suitable for me now?" The point is not "used before", but "will it still be used in the future." When all the items around you can stick to your current self, your life will become more comfortable.

Find your own "just good" so that your life and mood will be lighter.

There is no need to pursue perfection, but to make your life more in line with yourself. Reducing is not the purpose, but a means of "living just right".

For this reason, every time things start to pile up, it is a good opportunity to reorganize them. Whether you let go or use it, these actions are all about "who is now". Don’t be strong or anxious. Use your own rhythm to slowly adjust the distance between objects and your heart, so that you can truly feel the lightness and comfort of daily life.
