Living in a small studio apartment can lead to clutter, especially when lifestyle changes, like the pandemic, increase the number of items one has. The author implemented a 'weight rule' to maintain balance in her limited space: for every new item brought in, an item of equal weight must be removed. This decluttering strategy encourages mindfulness about purchases and helps keep the apartment organized and livable, transforming the challenge of a small space into a manageable routine.
The weight rule follows this principle: if I bring something in, something of equal weight has to be taken out. It's like a leveled-up "one in, one out rule".
By removing something equal in weight to whatever I am adding, I will not add to the clutter of my apartment when new things enter the space.
I live in a studio apartment, which is really small with limited storage space. What makes it unbearable is when clutter starts to pile up.
During the pandemic, I realized I was being spaced out of my own place and devised a method of maintaining my sanity.
