  1. “The right amount of stuff = the amount you can fully and regularly use.” – Kristen, The Frugal Girl
  2. If you reach the end of a season without wearing items in your closet, get rid of them.
  3. Having a smaller wardrobe will help you keep only quality clothes and dress with less stress.
  4. If you own gadgets that you’ve not used for so long, test if they are still functional.
  5. If you don’t need or use 3G on your mobile turn it off. The battery will last much longer.
  6. Don’t buy more items before you fully enjoy a similar item you already have.
  7. “A hobby of reading isn’t about buying new books. It’s about reading books. A hobby of gaming isn’t about buying new games. It’s about playing them.” – Trent Hamm, The Simple Dollar
  8. “It’s amazing how much our taste buds can change over time, if we gradually get used to healthier foods.” – Leo Babauta
  9. Avoid duplicates and enjoy owning one item of everything.
  10. Compile all your favorite recipes in ONE Cookbook.

    I have really enjoyed your email concerning the True Cost Of Clutter. It has really made me think harder about my decluttering process, which is about to be increased dramatically, thanks to your posts. I love reading something that makes me think harder and see differently. Many thanks Marie
