Tip #2: “In vs Out”

Often you find yourself overwhelmed by the stuff you have. Especially on physical items. Over the years we tend to accumulate a lot of things. Creating a huge, unecessary load; especially obvious to carry when moving. - So there is one radical rule for this to cut down the consumption: “For every new item to get in, at least one old item needs to go.” You can even make it harder, by being more specific or adding contraints, if that rule sound to weak for you! Challenge yourself!

Examples: a) For every new kitchen aid, an old one doing the same needs to be trown away. b) For every new clothing, two old ones need to get out. c) For every new item, the same weight/volume of items needs to vanish.

This way you think more about your belongings before you buy and you start to balance your amount of stuff. And if you keep it up for a longer time, especially with the harder constraints, you might even reduce your belongings.

TL;DR: Only buy X if you can throw away Y, or X(old). Thus balancing consumption “input” with active “output”. Add rules for higher pressure and reduction.
