My shoes were falling apart.
I had holes in the sides, but I didn’t care. They worked.
They were comfortable and I could use them for a lot of different activities.
I kept them for over 2 years.
Why?
Things should add value to your life.
This means replacing them when they are no longer useful or serve their initial purpose.
Más soon as the things in your stop adding value (you stop using them or you forget about them in a closet for 6 months) you should throw them away, recycle, or donate them.
This is a pretty effective way to turn that thing into something that is useful again.
“Love people, use things—because the opposite never works.” – The Minimalists
This is true in life as it is in work.
The same is true in physical possessions as it is for daily tasks
2 Minute Action:
Take 2 minutes to run a quick audit on how your day will go. What will you be doing for each hour of the day?
If each thing on your list had to fight for it’s life to stay in your day, would it make it?
What percentage of your day are you spending on actions (or inactions) that aren’t adding value?
How might you reallocate that time if you knew you only had another year left to live?
The good news is that you probably have more than a year.
The bad news is that the clock is still ticking.
