Do you have a habit of collecting anything once you get hooked on it?
That was the case for me until my mid-30s.
Especially for life.
I'm extremely weak to this word. I could use just one for a lifetime, but I end up buying two or three. And they're all similar.
I felt a great sense of accomplishment and superiority when I got it. I think it was more that I liked the brand rather than that I was in love with the item.
How many hundred years did he intend to live?
Unconscious elimination
Not long ago, I was looking back over the things I had bought and realized that I didn't have as many as I had left. I think I had been unconsciously decluttering.
On the other hand, the things that remain are all my favorites and I use them quite frequently.
What is the standard for deciding whether something is your favorite? Is it something you like ? That's it.
The most important thing is whether or not it makes your heart flutter, rather than any technical details.
I found out the reason for this after reading a certain book.
This is the famous book written by a woman who grew up in California about her experiences when she went to Paris as an exchange student.
I thought this book was similar to the concept of oh.
I was so amused by the feeling that it all made sense to me more and more, that I almost thought the subtitle should be "This is good enough, what's good about this?", and I read through it easily.
Especially the part about choosing clothes.
I also love clothes, so the words of the Parisian ladies who appear in this book really hit home.
To give you a rough idea, French people only own 10 favorite pieces of clothing (10 for spring/summer and 10 for fall/winter, excluding underwear, innerwear, outerwear and accessories). That's exactly what the book title says. Lol
This is not about saving money or being patient, nor is it about becoming a minimalist.
The message is that happiness comes from establishing your own style and wearing your favorite clothes every day.
Therefore, the closet is very small, there is no need for a walk-in closet, and 10 hangers are enough.
Even though I love clothes, my wardrobe is surprisingly small, but that may be because it only contains my favorites.
I thought to myself, surely my own style must have been established.
By the way, I hang my favorite clothes on my favorite stainless steel hangers . Not because they are items I sell myself, but because they are tools that I really love.
It's an item that I hesitate to do if I have too many clothes, but I want to hang the clothes I like on nice hangers so that they look nice even when I'm not wearing them.
Still usable,
Because it was quite expensive,
Because it's a popular brand,
Because it's what I received,
For now, this will do.
I gradually got rid of those clothes.
This isn't just about clothes, is it?
I thought the same was true for tableware.
Dust-free tableware
Do you have any dishes that you haven't used in a while stored away in the back of your cupboard?
If you keep things thinking that you might need them once a year, you'll end up with more and more stuff. And when you do want to use them, they're covered in dust.
It may be sad to let go, but it's really satisfying to be left with only your favorite items and use them every day.
If there are any items that you can't remember the last time you used, why not say goodbye to them?
On the other hand, it might be a good idea to consider buying the remaining items in different sizes or colors.
Because it's something I like.
Inevitably, tools will be used frequently, and there will be no time for them to gather dust, and scratches will increase. But don't you think scratches on tools are beautiful?
It's a sign of affection that you can't get just by aiming for it. You'll feel much more attached to it than if it were a shiny new item.
Use something a little better every day
If you choose a cheap item, you will end up treating it roughly because you don't mind it breaking. Also, scratches will not seem like an attachment to the item.
On the other hand, if it is too expensive, you will have to be too careful with it, which will tire you out. Eventually, you will find yourself using it less and less.
Choose something a little better.
If possible, something that can be purchased in addition to the one-of-a-kind item.
If it's difficult to get everything together at once, we recommend replacing them little by little.
It's amazing how just this makes me feel so fulfilled.
Please take a look at the reviews on the oh product page. Everyone is writing similar things.
In fact, professional specifications
The products sold at oh are actually professional grade . Therefore, we sometimes receive large orders from restaurants and bistros. They are durable, easy to use, and have a simple design. And yet, they are relatively reasonably priced.
That's a sign of something good.
I don't know if I can say that life is short, but one thing is for sure: life is short.
I think it's a real waste to just go through life thinking that it's fine as it is.
It's not about whether it's expensive or cheap, or whether it's valuable, or what people who don't even know you think it is, but whether you like it .
Why not try living with things from this perspective?
