Stage 5: But, What If I Need These Things?
The time I spent being overwhelmed allowed doubt to slip, insidiously, back into my mind. But, I need these products for work, I told myself. Who else is going to try that serum that's been sitting, unopened, for months? But that doesn't fly with Kondo's technique. #NoExcuses.
She cites a client who was a CEO and had business books upon business books that were unread. He wanted to keep all of them, because he might read them "sometime." Or, other clients who made it only halfway through a book but plan to finish it "someday." Real talk from Kondo: Sometime will never come. This is your chance to let it go. For me, that means that the half-used eye cream I tossed aside has served its purpose, and that purpose was to be used halfway.
