In this final month of 2020 (hallelujah!) have some fun.
Play a Decide, Edit, & Curate game.
Set your own rules for what:
• comes in
• gets to stay
• has to leave
Even if you don’t use Twitter, we’ll bet you understand the rules: social posts of 280 characters or less. Constraints — however loose — provide structure for decisions. Designers, filmmakers, and museums cut and add elements to preserve the core of their message, design, or exhibit.
To play:
1. Fantasize what your closets, or countertops could look like if you consciously decided what to keep.
2. Look at what you use
3. Re-evaluate what you store
4. Focus on what you love:
Picking faves first relieves stress over letting go
Just for Fun:
Decide the rules of your Edit and Curate game as a family, couple, household or as roommates.
Use the In-1 — Out-1 rule religiously
• For every item coming INTO your home,
at least 1* needs to leave
* If you are starting out with an abundance
(or over-abundance)
follow In-1 — Out-5 items
til you manage the amount of your stuff.
Schedule a “get your game on” session to:
• clarify your rules
• learn to acquire less
• showcase your keepers
