Wisdom emerges from experiencing and letting go, which, while challenging, can be simplified by the act of simply releasing attachments. One effective strategy to avoid clutter is to resist the urge to bring items home in the first place. Implementing the 'leave it on the shelf today if you don't want to declutter it tomorrow' principle promotes sustainable consumption for both the environment and personal well-being. The 30-30 rule serves as a practical approach to curb impulse buying; if an item exceeds $30, one should wait 30 hours before making a purchase decision. This process underscores that the issue isn't about affordability but about the need to avoid impulsive consumption. Furthermore, establishing a mission or purpose in life fosters a mindset that transcends mere survival, creating a deeper understanding of what one truly needs.
