Vera recommends that, as you go through a minimalist journey, you take photos and document to keep yourself motivated. Instead of focusing on what is lost, think about what is gained by letting these items go: more space, a room that you enjoy being in, time, freedom, less guilt, and possibly even money (if you sell the item). When we declutter, we typically focus on what we are giving up. Pick a container and only keep the items that fit in that space.ĥ. Then, decide how many you want to have after decluttering. Tally up your makeup collection or anything else you want to downsize. Even if you aren’t moving, just pretending you are can get you into that downsizing mindset.Ĥ. Moving is a great chance to go through what you own and downsize. Pretend you are moving to a smaller space. Willam Morris said: “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be beautiful or believe to be useful.” Are you actually using it (not imagining a future scenario where you might use it)?

If the items aren’t used, there is probably another reason you are keeping them around. What is your first impression of your own home as a guest? What items would you actually use, if you were a guest in your home for a month? As a guest, you don’t have any memories or emotional attachment to the items. Pretend you are a guest in your own home.
