Looking back over the year, how faithfully did you keep your home and storage clear? A tidy space is not an aesthetic flex. It is a tool. Fewer objects mean fewer decisions. Fewer decisions mean more attention for what matters. Keep only what serves the life you are living now.
Walk one room with a small box and a fifteen-minute timer. Pick up each item and ask: Do I use this? Do I value this? Would I choose it again today? If not, let it go. Set a simple rule for the year ahead: one-in, one-out. Add a monthly sweep for drawers and a seasonal check for storage. Track what changes when surfaces stay clear—how you sleep, how quickly you start, how calm the room feels. Your space teaches your mind. Give it a simple lesson.
