[personal profile] beachlass posting in [community profile] unclutter
Admittedly going against one of Marie Kondo's principles (dive wholly in and tackle decluttering in one fell swoop); I have been experimenting with her question:

"Does it give me joy?"

And I'm finding it to be a transformative one. (Orienting towards joy has been an ongoing piece of self-work for me in the past year, so this is a very timely question for me to use in the house as well)

And although I was skeptical, I've also taken the time to try and follow some of her instructions around the way I keep clothing - taking everything out of the dresser, handling each piece, folding it carefully, arranging clothing so that it is displayed, rather than stacked. It's time consuming; and I'm trying to not fuss about whether it's sustainable; but again - it's a transformative way to handle my things - to treat them as valuable paradoxically allows me to let go of more. To set a vision for how I want the drawer organized sets a boundary on how many things I'm willing to keep.

I've not read the book yet (hold number 347 on 65 copies at the public library) but I've been experimenting with that question and finding it gets overwhelming a lot faster than regular decluttering does. I'm trying to sort out why.
