The author shares their experiences with moving and decluttering, developed over a decade of apartment living. They emphasize the emotional challenge of downsizing, particularly when moving from a one-bedroom to a studio, and highlight the usefulness of Marie Kondo’s tidying principles despite their vague nature. The author reflects on past decluttering regrets, such as parting with sentimental books and items, yet notes that overall, they don’t miss most discarded belongings, leading to more efficient future moves.
