Try it!
I opened a drawer last week and found three spatulas. Three. I cook maybe four times a week and I have three spatulas.
That's the moment something clicked.
I'd always done decluttering the "normal" way — pick something up, ask if it sparks joy, feel guilty, put it back in the same spot. Rinse and repeat. Nothing ever really changed.
So I flipped the whole thing on its head. Instead of deciding what to get rid of, I started deciding what actually earned the right to stay. And let me tell you… most of my stuff did NOT make the cut.
Turns out I wasn't keeping things because I loved them. I was keeping them because throwing them away felt like admitting I wasted money. Or because "what if I need it someday." (Spoiler: someday never came.)
It was a little humbling, honestly. But also kind of freeing.
If your closets, drawers, or that one chair covered in clothes are quietly stressing you out — this might be the shift you didn't know you needed.
