Declutter Your Life with the 90/90 Rule: Expert Tips for Simplifying Your Home

Interviewer: Thank you for joining us today. Could you please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us a bit about your experience with decluttering?

Interviewee: Hi, I’m happy to be here. My name is Sarah and I’ve been a professional organizer for over 10 years now. During this time, I have helped countless clients declutter their homes and spaces, allowing them to live more intentionally.

Interviewer: That’s great! Today we’d love to dive into the topic of the 90/90 rule of decluttering. Can you explain what it is and how it works?

Interviewee: Absolutely! The 90/90 rule states that if an item hasn’t been used in the last 90 days or isn’t expected to be used in the next 90 days, then it should be discarded or donated.

The idea behind this rule is that if something hasn’t been used recently or won’t be needed soon, then it’s likely just taking up unnecessary space in your home. By getting rid of these items, you can free up space and simplify your surroundings.

It’s important to note though that this rule doesn’t apply to sentimental or valuable items that hold significant meaning or are worth keeping for other reasons.

Interviewer: Thank you for clarifying that. So how do you suggest people go about implementing this rule in their own lives?

Interviewee: Well first off, it’s important to take inventory of all your possessions and decide which ones fall under the categories mentioned earlier – haven’t been used in last 90 days or won’t be needed in the next 90 days.

Once those items have been identified, they should either be sold, donated or thrown away depending on their condition and value.

It can definitely feel overwhelming at first but breaking down the process into smaller tasks like tackling one room at a time can make things easier.

Also remember that progress is progress no matter how small so even if you’re only able to get rid of a few items at a time, that’s still progress.

Interviewer: Those are all great tips! Lastly, do you have any final words of encouragement for someone looking to declutter their home using the 90/90 rule?

Interviewee: Yes, I would say remember that decluttering is a journey and not something that can be done overnight. It requires patience and commitment but ultimately it’s worth it.

By letting go of things that no longer serve us, we make room for more meaningful experiences and create space for what truly matters in our lives. So don’t give up and keep pushing forward!
