Today is Double 12, and it just so happens that I have finished reading "Breaking Away".
Just now, Xiao Li said: "Today is Double Twelve, let's buy an air fryer handle from the Internet, and we can fry it ourselves when we want to eat fried chicken." ”
I said, "We hardly eat fried chicken, and I'm afraid the air fryer won't be useful." ”
He said: "It will always come in handy in the future, and you can make it yourself when you want to eat it." ”
I said, "I thought the same way on Double 11, and most of the things I bought at that time were idle at home." ”
In the end, we didn't buy anything.
I have to say that this book has made me a lot more rational about shopping.
If you don't need anything now, don't buy it.
If you buy something with the mindset that it will come in handy one day, the clutter at home will pile up more and more.
And objects can subtly affect our emotions, which in turn affect our behavior.
Therefore, the accumulation of clutter can unconsciously increase our stress and trigger negative emotions.
So, whenever you want to buy something that you don't need at all right now, think of it this way:
Since it will come in handy someday, wait until that day to come.
If the item is already idle and you are tired of looking at it, then dispose of it.
For example, the thick pile of diaries is full of past events and leaves too many memories of the past.
I always want to keep a thought for the future, but in a few years, I have never looked at it, and there is nothing wrong with throwing it away.
It's better to forget some things from the past, and it's easier to throw things away.
Let everything go back to its right place, and let everything around you fall into its place.
