), we have a minimalist author (book one and two), but this is a workbook book from a German author. And I really liked it, because the exercises in it are not stupid lists of “throw out expired cosmetics and products”, “collect 17 extra things and throw them away too”, “wash the sink”, but rather such tasks to think about.

Published on high-quality thick paper, the book is pleasant to hold in your hands.

The exercises are divided into different levels difficulties, and are presented in the table of contents:


And personally, they made me think more and get rid of a couple of shelves of already read books and a hefty bag of rags. Yes, maybe in Russia the level of waste recycling is not yet so high, but some moves and methods can be found. And it motivates.

I liked the tasks on choosing the seven most important things in different situations, the invitations to think about how some things end up being unused, and the shopping rules.

Scientists have proven that parting with trash is as difficult for some people as quitting smoking. Moreover, those who are prone to hoarding react to the removal of unnecessary things with genuine mental pain. Therefore, psychologists have developed a strategy that will help you stop being attached to things and will force any junk collector to clean up their house.

We are in website We decided to look into these tips and convey their essence to you. And at the end we will tell you how to live with a person who is not used to throwing anything away.

Why decluttering is so difficult

To begin with, it should be noted that not all people become attached to things. There are those who easily part with trash and maintain order in the house, and there are those who endow every thing with a “soul”; for him, throwing away is akin to betrayal.

The differences between these people have been proven from a psychological point of view. Scientists have found that when a “collector” has to throw away his things, areas of the brain in his head become active: pain related, as well as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, which associated with the moral assessment of ethical conflicts and the sense of “oneself.”

Because of this, people not only relate the thing to their goals and desires, subconsciously believing that it would still be useful, but also consider some objects to be part of themselves. Therefore, for such people, throwing something away, psychologists say, is like throwing away a finger on your hand.

Mindfulness Technique

This technique will help people who are inclined to gather, start throwing away unnecessary things. It is noteworthy that it is also recommended for people trying to get rid of bad habits.

Its essence is to be attentive to your instincts and find the differences between real motivation and the “deception” that the brain gives us. Next, we will take a closer look at how to introduce this technique into your life.

Step 1: The few seconds rule

Again, when trying to save a potentially useless item, take your time and wait a few seconds. Think about the real value of the item.

Remember how many times in Lately you thought about throwing the item away. How many times has it been useful during this time? Convince yourself of the uselessness of the item.

Step 2: Research Temptation

Pay attention to your feelings that arise at the moment when you need to throw something away. Typically, temptation begins with an almost imperceptible signal and grows to the level of real anxiety and concern.

Almost all children have the habit of endowing objects with a “soul”, seeing a personality in them. According to experiments, children do not realize that their favorite toy and exactly the same toy, only new, are one and the same. Because the new object is just a thing, and the object that belongs to them is part of their consciousness.

Some people carry this trait into adulthood. When freezing for a few seconds in an impulse to leave an unnecessary item, remember that It’s not him who’s unique (people like him churn out hundreds an hour), it’s your memories associated with him that are unique. And even if you throw away the item, the memories will not disappear.

Rethinking material value

This refers to a separate type of forager. These people can't throw things away because remember how much they paid for them. In this case, in order to “declutter”, unnecessary things can be put up for sale.

And if no one wants to buy them, This means it’s time to forget about money: these items have long since lost their value.

Mess alert

If you are a hoarder, try not to buy things that clutter your home.

  • Don't bring useless ones souvenirs from vacation.
  • Ask your friends not to give you gifts for the holidays. Stuffed Toys.
  • Get yourself e-book, so as not to buy paper in large quantities.
  • Don't buy things you don't need: do not pay attention to low prices, do not buy goods by imitating other people, do not buy those things that you have not thought about purchasing until now.

    • Some act much more radically: they throw away unnecessary things in secret from the collector, who most often does not even notice the loss. But here it’s up to anyone’s conscience to allow it.

    Tell me, have you ever lived with a person who never throws away unnecessary things? How did you deal with the problem? Or maybe you yourself sometimes cannot bring yourself to part with certain items? What emotions do you experience? Write about it in the comments.

SIMPLIFY your life. Master class on organizing working time

Dear readers!

In the preface to this book on working time, we must openly admit: yes, we love to work! We remember the time when we were both in our final year of college and dreamed that we would finally be able to do something useful for society. We rejoiced at the opportunity to work in at least some company (even if we were there on the lower rungs of the career ladder) and receive a salary every month (at first, even symbolic). Now we enjoy our independence and are grateful that we always have work.

At the same time, we were in constant search for that same true harmony, but we were not always able to find it. Work has enormous attractive power; it, generally speaking, pretends to be something more than just half the time allotted to us by life. For this reason, for many years we have been looking for means and methods that, on the one hand, will prevent work from taking up more than the allotted time, and on the other hand, will help to extract as many positive emotions from it as possible.

In this book we have collected tips that we brought greatest benefit to ourselves. Our goal is to show you how to simplify your life and become happier, and how to be a master at planning your workday. We really like the word “master”; it shows that people are given the right to be not slaves, but creators - regardless of who actually holds the power.

IN German there is a surprisingly capacious verb “ lassen”, which does not mean “to have to do something”, but “to allow something to happen” - without remaining a passive observer. This concept also implies the ability to shift some of your responsibilities to others without abdicating responsibility entirely. It is also associated with the clear awareness that, despite all our plans and important affairs, we live and allow life to present us with its gifts. We did not create life, and life itself is not in our control - but does that change anything?

Martin Luther, who was a hard worker and achieved a lot, said on his deathbed: “We are beggars, that is the truth.” These words also touch on the topic to which this book is dedicated. It will talk about working time, and we assure you that it is just a part of your life - no more.

Learn to enjoy your work more

How can you enjoy your work? Example: Americans Stefan Lundin, Harry Paul and John Christensen studied the work of the Seattle fish market - a damp, cold, slimy and foul-smelling place, with intense and monotonous work. However, as many people know, the atmosphere there is most inviting. In his bestselling book "Fish!" the authors told how work becomes happiness for a person. Hence the conclusion: you have to love what you do. Don't waste time looking for the perfect job - create it for yourself.

The joy of work can be learned

One day, fish sellers came to the conclusion that difficult working conditions should no longer affect their mood and outlook. Let their market become the most famous in the world! - and from that very moment they ceased to be ordinary fish sellers.

Choose your positions.

It turns out that your personal position can help you see your work in a favorable light. Don't forget that you always have a choice: either whine and complain, or turn disadvantages into advantages, or wait for someone else to solve your problem, or find a solution yourself. Tell yourself: “I have now made the decision to make today a good day; my colleagues, clients and co-workers will thank me.”

Work playfully.

Here's something else Seattle salespeople have come up with: You have to work a little playfully. At a fish market in Seattle, shoppers duck when a pair of crabs suddenly whiz past their heads. Many will ask the question: “Is it simple? After all, my work is so dry, because in my field of activity there is absolutely no place for humor!” But it is precisely in such cases that the most acute need for positive emotions is felt!

Make play and a sense of satisfaction part of your work and do not be afraid of slanderers, envious people and bosses. Show everyone else that creativity comes from a positive attitude. Try to make time fly by like a dream while doing your favorite job. Prove from your own experience that joy and play do not cause harm, but, on the contrary, make a person happy. Tell yourself: “I can find an element of play in my daily work. I will take my work seriously, but I will learn to treat myself with a bit of humor.”

Bring joy to others.

The jokes of Seattle fishmongers are not some of the insider-intelligible phrases that are often heard in offices. The buyers at this fish market are also involved in the action - and the joy of work thus arises from the communication of this joy to others.

Take note of the old good rule- Do one good deed every day. For example, when your kind clients are not as kind as you would like them to be, take the first step yourself. You know very well how much joy someone’s little sign of attention, a smile or an offer of help brings us, say, in solving some tricky computer problem. Share this joy and your good spirits with others. Tell yourself: “If my own energy is running low, I will look for someone who I can support and thereby give him a good mood for the whole day.”

The fish sellers we already know work with full dedication and are full of attention to their work - their customers are forced to do the same if they want to catch the fish “flying” above them...

Make sure that when talking business with your clients or colleagues, you are not mentally sitting in the cafeteria or preparing for the upcoming party. Only by devoting all your thoughts and feelings to the work you do, you live life to the fullest. Only then do you not allow yourself to be distracted by trifles, but maintain a clear understanding of what is important to you and others. By being present in the here and now, you show respect for your colleagues and yourself. Tell yourself: “I devote all my thoughts, all my attention to what I am doing. Now my colleagues or clients can notice that I am here if they suddenly need my help.”

Say: “Wow!”

Break your work into separate “projects.” This is the recipe for success created by the forerunner of management theory, American Tom Peters. His simple advice is to get rid of the dull facial expression and submissive mentality. Instead, he suggests looking at the work from a new angle. It doesn’t matter at all whether you are a baker or a banker, a “free” music teacher or a manager in a company; no matter what you are dealing with - pies, loans, courses or plans - all of these can be called projects.

You change your perspective by defining your goals as clearly as possible. Let's say you used to imagine the purpose of your work in the most ordinary form: bread, financing construction, piano lessons, a business plan. Now - whether you're working alone or in a team - experience your challenges in a new way and reinvent your project until it's cool, original and sensational, just big - something that will take everyone's breath away! Why don't you bake a cake that will be written about in the newspapers? Don't develop a meeting model that will attract the attention of your superiors? Don't enter any pedagogical innovation in your region? Not making the current calendar year an event in the business world?
