I read Marie Kondo’s *The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up* a few years back and I liked it. **I am looking for another book that will give me a boost and inspiration to get rid of stuff.**
I had just gotten rid of a lot of stuff using Kondo’s method and then the pandemic hit, and my chronic illness got a lot worse, and I lost the ability to learn new things and make new experiences in life, and living in a small country with high import tax and skyrocketed shipping, made it impossible to replace things if I regret getting rid of them. All this led to **the things I own being the only reliable constant in my life.**
I tried reading books, such as *Goodbye, Things* by Fumio Sasaki and *Decluttering at the Speed of Life* by Dana K. White, and quite a few others, but they were either too extreme for me, or required me to build a whole identity around being a minimalist, or, at the other end of the spectrum, talked about decluttering whole collections of stuff, mountains of one-use cups from my kitchen, or convincing me I don’t need 50 pairs of shoes. I have two porcelain cups, and 4 pairs of shoes so I don’t recognize myself in this.
