As I continued reading New Minimalism, I see their decluttering method is similar to Maire Kondo’s; they declutter by category, not by room. I find this method overwhelming. I live in a 2-story house (3 story if you include the basement).
The Introduction in the book, New Minimalism, defines it as, “…a call to a mindful, intentional way of living, prioritizing relationships and experiences above material things…your time is better spent experiencing life with people than it is spent looking for, managing, organizing, cleaning, and purchasing…things.“
With all the hosting done, I’m able to enjoy the fruits of my labor of a cleaned house. There were three rooms that were neglected; one of which was my favorite room in the house…my bedroom.
