#orderliness

I belong to you, like orderliness belongs to age.

I've noticed an interesting effect: increasing strength by reducing the overall number of things, even if they only came in handy once or twice a year.

I've come to the conclusion that in this era of AliExpress and 3D printers, it's possible and important to replace 2-3 items with one multifunctional item, and not to give up but to continue experimenting if a specific multifunctional purchase doesn't work out or isn't convenient.

In the end, it pays off when even important items decrease in volume several times over.

From my experience, it makes sense to invest in various-sized boxes that you can buy at the post office, large labels, a notebook, and a good quality pen that evokes positive emotions. Downloading an app for voice-activated list search and organizing all items into groups, then into large boxes according to the box system (box 1 containing boxes 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.) This frees up space in the closet, and occupied shelves will be filled 100%, not just 20-30%, as is usually the case due to fears of something slipping or falling out upon the next opening or the inability to reach the necessary item. This also organizes your understanding of how many items you have in each group and where you need to prioritize replacing them with multifunctional ones.

Personally, I usually find it sufficient to have 25-40 items in each group.

This approach also provides a clear understanding that there are separate boxes for "possibly give away" and "possibly throw away," and items that are difficult to part with initially go into one of these boxes. Months later, during periods when your biorhythms and hormonal balance give you the greatest clarity of thought and decisiveness (usually when you've caught up on sleep after serious sleep deprivation, intentionally inducing or alleviating it, or when you've eliminated chronic sleep deprivation and after a week of sleeping for 4-5 hours, you wake up refreshed and ready to "tear and throw" because your body is back to normal), you find the strength to part with the excess. At this moment, it's important to have a pre-planned and prepared set where such items are already sorted into the two groups.

You create a reward and comfort for yourself in the form of treating yourself to a new cup or plate, and on the way, you take the box labeled "possibly throw away" to the trash can and leave the box labeled "possibly give away" next to it, then go for the planned comforting bonus.

Paul’s Ordinances II

Ephesians 6:1-4Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) That it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth. And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. —— Ephesians 5:1-4Be ye therefore followers of God, as…
