80% of what you have is not really necessary.
Hello everyone, I'm Takimi from the book translation channel.
This time, I would like to introduce the technique of throwing away 80% in a week written by Mr. Fudeko.
If you are interested in this video, I would be happy if you could get the book once from the link in the summary column.
Let's get started.
Today's scenario is as follows.
In the first line, if you think you've been deceived and do it once and throw away 80% in a week, your life will change dramatically.
In the second line, don't make any more excuses.
I will explain the top 3 stupid excuses that people who can't throw away can say.
In the third line, throw away 80% in a week.
I will explain the 7 magic methods that can be absolutely thrown away by anyone.
Let's get started.
In the first line, if you think you've been deceived and do it once and throw away 80% in a week, your life will change dramatically.
Today, I would like you to face things thoroughly through this video.
How many things are you surrounded by now?
On the other hand, if you have too many things that should be wonderful, your life will become inconvenient.
In fact, this is a very important thing, but many people live their lives as if they were strangling themselves.
The easiest example is that if you have more things, it will be difficult to clean.
In addition, if you have more things, you will physically take up too much space and you will have to pay a higher rent than necessary to live in a large room.
Originally, the house, which is a place to relax and heal the fatigue of work, is just a place to put things.
In addition, if you have too many clothes, it will take time to choose every morning.
You should have bought a variety of clothes because you like clothes and want to enjoy fashion.
The more the number, the more fun you choose, the more difficult it becomes to get lost.
In fact, we consume a lot of energy when we are lost.
And the more you get lost, the less energy you have.
The state of being lost is a state that consumes a lot of energy and is unpleasant for us.
Now, if you look around the world, you can see that there are too many books about cleaning, consulting that teach you how to clean, and various storage goods that are sold everywhere.
You can see that there are so many people in the world who are in trouble.
However, despite the various cleaning books and cleaning techniques, there are still a lot of things in our house.
Why is that?
Why can't many people clean up?
That's because no matter how hard you try, the things in the house that are in ruins cannot be cleaned up.
Ruins are things that do not contribute to your life.
For example, things that you don't use, things that you don't use even if you buy them, things that are always in the closet.
These things are no longer out of the house.
In other words, you have no choice but to throw them away.
It is not enough to just move the place or store it cleanly.
If you do not throw away the ruins, it is impossible for you to regain the house of the protagonist.
Throwing things away is the simplest way to change our lives.
It is also a very powerful way to increase our daily happiness.
The author has also thrown away a lot of things so far, but what he found in the process was that 80% of the storage goods were actually unnecessary.
This is exactly the law of the parade.
The law of the parade is the experience that 80% of the words and 20% of the elements hold.
Probably this will apply to everyone.
It's in the house, so probably what you usually use is only about 20%.
Isn't 80% actually a mess?
The pile of garbage is slowly eating you up and constantly giving you stress and discomfort.
So this time, let's throw it away.
If you throw it away, your life will change dramatically.
So, how much of the fact that there are a lot of things in the future continues to give you a big disadvantage?
And I will explain the specific techniques for throwing things away.
First of all, I would like to explain the overwhelming disadvantage of having a lot of things.
It is summarized in the following three.
1. Stress increases and loses health.
2. More and more fatigue accumulates.
3. More and more money disappears and becomes poor.
Well, how about it?
Just having a lot of things will cause such a bad disadvantage.
Conversely, if you reduce things, stress will decrease and health and money will be easily obtained.
It means that fatigue will be relieved more and more.
By throwing away things, wouldn't you like to get such a refreshing life?
Then I will explain the disadvantages one by one in order.
First of all, the overwhelming disadvantage of having a lot of things.
1. Stress increases and loses health.
Well, there are many people who don't notice this.
Just having a lot of things will increase your stress.
Excessive things at home.
Excessive junk always gives you stress.
No, I don't have much stress from having a lot of things.
It's just that you don't notice it.
In fact, when there are a lot of things, our brain is constantly stimulated by them.
Just by looking at things, the brain is exposed to stress, and your brain is definitely reacting to what is in front of you.
Our brains receive a lot of information from all sensory organs, such as vision, smell, and hearing.
Therefore, the more things are in the room, the more the brain is stimulated.
As a result, the brain feels stress and becomes tired.
Even if you are at home, if you are worried that you cannot get tired, it is probably because you have too many things in your house.
It's probably because the house is messy.
Also, if there are a lot of things, there are terrible disadvantages such as decreased attention and decreased concentration.
For example, let's say you are working on a desk and there are a lot of books on the desk.
Then, when you are working and the book is in your field of vision and you have to read this book, or when you buy this book,
Speaking of which, it was fun to go on a date with her.
Speaking of which, I have to reply to her LINE, etc.
I will think about extra things one after another.
Also, just by looking at the books on the floor or on the shelves, your consciousness will be pulled by them.
If you see them while you are working, you will start thinking that you have to clean up, and you will be distracted from concentrating on one thing.
We consume a lot of energy in our daily lives and are under a lot of stress.
If you put too much stress on it, it will harm your health or make you mentally ill.
So you have to solve the stress properly, but even if you go home, you can't relax if there are a lot of things in the room.
You are attacked by a sense of guilt that you have to clean up, and you can't relax your brain because there is too much information in your brain.
So what should I do?
In the end, the best way to get rid of such stress is to reduce things.
The author himself says that when the room is refreshed, it simply feels good and there is no need to look for things, and cleaning becomes easier and a lot of time is born.
And since the stress from things is gone, he says that he has gained mental health.
I'm sure everyone who is listening to this wants to get tired or want to be healthy.
And in order to get health in the true sense, it is important to reduce things.
Of course, basic things such as eating, exercising, and sleeping are important for your health, but I would like you to know that throwing away things or organizing things will have a very big impact on your health.
So far, I would like to end the explanation of the first disadvantage of having a lot of things, the increase in stress, and the loss of health.
Next, I will explain the overwhelming disadvantage of having a lot of things, and the accumulation of fatigue.
Now, it's a little related to what I said earlier, but the more things there are, the more we get tired.
So if you are worried that you cannot get rid of your fatigue, we recommend that you reduce the number of things in your house.
If that happens, fatigue will recover on its own.
The reason is that if you reduce things, you will be released from the fatigue.
We make a lot of choices every day.
What kind of clothes to wear, whether to check SNS, whether to reply to this email, etc.
We make small decisions every day.
And every time we make such a decision, our brains are tired and our judgment is dull, and we cannot decide things well.
Why? Because the mental power to decide things is limited.
The more you do the act of deciding something, the less mental power you have.
And in the end, you can't decide things well.
This is fatigue.
When you get tired of deciding, you may stop deciding in the first place, or you may make a stupid decision that you can't think of when you're in a good mood.
For example, if you are tired of deciding, you know that you will have more impulses.
When shopping, we usually buy it if we judge that it is more valuable than the price and the value that the product brings to us.
But when your brain is tired, you don't want to think about anything and you buy it as it is.
If you can't make a decision, you will waste your money and the time you spend shopping.
In addition, if you are tired of deciding on a daily basis, various things will be troublesome and you will not be motivated to do anything.
Some of you may think that cleaning is troublesome and that washing dishes is troublesome.
Such a person is probably tired of deciding, and even doing a very simple housework called cleaning has become a habit.
In addition, if you are tired of deciding, you are likely to have an unhealthy meal.
However, if you are in a state where you still have mental strength, you can make healthy food yourself.
If you are tired of deciding, anything is fine. It's a hassle.
For the time being, I wonder if I should eat the retort food at home.
In addition, if you are tired of deciding, it will be difficult to continue the habit of exercising.
There shouldn't be many people in the world who can exercise by shaking themselves when they are exhausted.
In this way, being tired of deciding really brings us various disadvantages.
So what should I do to proceed without being tired of deciding?
That is to reduce things.
The reason is that reducing things also greatly reduces the opportunity to decide.
The fewer items you have, the simpler your daily choices will be.
For example, if you have fewer clothes, the choices of what to wear will be faster and you can save time and energy.
Also, if you remove unnecessary things, there will be less space and less decisions on where to put what and how to organize it.
Also, if you have fewer items, the maintenance and repair of each item will be reduced.
If you have physical fatigue, you can sleep well, but it is difficult to remove brain fatigue.
Therefore, I would recommend that you reduce things so that you do not accumulate fatigue in the brain in the first place.
So far, I will finish the explanation of the second disadvantage of having a lot of things and the accumulation of fatigue.
Then, the third one is the overwhelming disadvantage of having a lot of things.
I will explain that money is getting poorer and poorer.
Now, if you have a lot of things, you will lose more and more money.
Conversely, if you throw away things without having too many things, your money will accumulate more and more.
Little by little, when you start throwing away what you have, most people will be aware of their waste.
Also, throwing away things means that you will admit the failure of your past choices.
Next time, I will try to think a little more carefully and buy things.
If you don't need it, you will throw it away anyway.
In the first place, the accuracy of the next purchase will increase as you try not to buy it.
For example, in the case of clothes, if you continue to throw away,
it will be clear that the clothes you like and the clothes you usually wear are of this type.
Throwing away clothes that you don't wear means that you will be able to select the clothes you really like to wear in the future.
If you do that, you will no longer have to buy clothes that don't suit your taste next time.
In other words, waste is reduced and money is overwhelmingly accumulated.
If you spend too much money on shopping, it may be because you don't know what you really want.
However, by reducing things, you will be able to understand your preferences and your standards,
so you will be able to buy a variety of things and you will no longer compare what you use.
The accuracy of shopping will increase as the number of mistakes in shopping decreases.
Now, if you've heard this far,
how much of the fact that you have a lot of things will give you a big disadvantage?
On the contrary, I think you understand how much benefit you can get by throwing away things.
By understanding this merit and demerit, you will be able to throw away things overwhelmingly.
So, I will summarize the contents of the first line around here.
Summary of the first line Point 1
Throwing away things is the simplest way to greatly change our lives and increase our daily happiness.
80% of your belongings are actually unnecessary, so throw away 80% of them.
Point 2
The overwhelming disadvantage of having a lot of things is the following three.
1. Stress increases and you lose your health.
2. More and more fatigue accumulates.
3. More and more money is gone and you become poor.
So, in the second line, don't make any more excuses.
I will explain the top three stupid excuses that people who can't throw away things will make.
Now, in the first line, I explained in great detail the disadvantages of owning things and the benefits of letting go of things.
However, some people may be worried that it is important to throw away things, but they still can't throw them away.
Such people make various excuses.
So, from here, I would like to take up the excuses that people who can't throw away things tend to say one by one and discuss them.
By removing the excuses that you can't throw away things one by one, you will gradually get closer to the person who can be thrown away.
So, the first stupid excuse that people who can't throw away things say is that they may use it someday.
Now, even though you know that it is important to throw away things, people who can't throw away things say that they may use it someday.
For example, the tote bag I used in my twenties.
I haven't used it for a long time and I'm sleeping in the back of the closet.
When you think of pulling out this tote bag and throwing it away, you think as follows.
But I may use it again.
The tote bag I have now may be broken.
Thinking like this, I will return the tote bag that I pulled out because I wanted to throw it away to its original place.
I've been keeping it all this time and I've even forgotten about it, but when I try to throw it away, I suddenly feel like I might use it someday.
There is a belief that once a person owns something, he or she will value it for no reason.
This is called the Sazukari Effect, and it is the theory of behavioral economics.
Even if you don't use it, if you lose weight someday, you may wear this clothes again.
If you have time someday, you may read this book.
Don't you all have a lot of things that you may use someday?
However, the someday that you may use someday will never come.
According to the experience of the author, such a someday has never come before.
Even so, everyone is piling up garbage for the someday that will not come no matter how long it takes.
In the first place, it's something I forgot about, so someday it won't come.
And if there is an excuse that you may use it someday and you can't throw it away, let's actually use it at this moment.
For example, if it's the tote bag I mentioned earlier, I'm not using the tote bag I'm using now, but I'm using the tote bag that was sleeping in the closet.
And if you use it and you think that this tote bag is pretty good and you can use it, you can continue to use it as it is and you don't have to throw it away.
After all, the previous tote bag is better, and if you don't like this very much, please throw it away.
Or it's the same with the books that are kept in the house without reading them.
If you can't throw it away because you think you might read it someday, read it right now.
And if you can't read it now, the someday that you will read someday will not come forever, so please throw it away.
If you think you might use it someday, try using it right now.
If you do this, you will be able to throw away more and more things that you thought you might use someday.
Next, I would like to introduce the second one.
The stupid excuse that people who can't throw things away say is because it's a memory item.
Well, you hear this a lot, don't you?
However, the author says that there is not much resistance to throwing away a memory item.
Because even if you throw it away, you know that memories will not disappear.
Things are simple things and memories are in your heart.
If you can't throw it away, take a picture of it and write down what you remember at this stage.
But in fact, in many cases, there is no need to do this at all.
Because if it is a necessary memory, the brain will always remember it.
We believe that we do not want to throw away things that are more than necessary.
However, it is a hassle to clean up all the junk that is not used now that it is packed in a cardboard box.
This is just an excuse to say that it is a memory item.
While saying that it is an important memory item, I wonder if you are not putting it in a cardboard box and pushing it under the bed.
Even if you keep it in such a place, the memory item will not make your life brighter.
I'm just leaving it in dust.
It has no meaning to own that memory item at all.
If there is something you want to have for the reason that it is really a memory item,
why don't you choose only the really important things and put them where you can get them right away?
Then the memory item will make your life brighter.
However, let's choose only one or two memory items.
It's a waste if the memory item takes up too much space and you can't enjoy your current life.
After all, the most important thing is not the memory, but the life at this moment.
And the third common excuse is that it was given by someone.
I'm sorry for the person who gave me what I got from someone.
I don't use it much, and I don't even like it.
Don't you keep it in your room?
But if you do that, your room will never be cleaned up.
Please calmly look at what you got from someone.
Isn't that present a burden and a hindrance to you?
Things that are a burden to your heart will not be used in the future.
There are only disadvantages, so I recommend that you let go of this opportunity.
Then I will summarize the contents of the second line.
In the second line, I introduced three stupid excuses that people who can't throw things away say.
1. You may use it someday.
2. Because it's a memory item.
3. Because it was given by someone.
Next, in the third line, I will explain the 7 magic methods that can be absolutely thrown away by anyone for 80% in a week.
Now, if you've heard this far, I think you've learned enough about the benefits of throwing things away.
Some of you may want to throw things away right now.
I will continue to introduce the method to throw away things.
First of all, I would like to introduce
The magic method that can be absolutely thrown away by anyone is to throw away 27 in 15 minutes.
Now, this is a pretty powerful method.
Set a timer and throw away 27 in 15 minutes.
The method is as follows.
First, set the timer for 15 minutes and hold the garbage bag in one hand.
Then start the timer, run around the house, and throw the garbage into the garbage bin.
When 27 are collected, throw each bag into the garbage bin.
That's all you need to do.
First of all, you don't have to think about what to throw away or what to prepare.
Hold the garbage bag in one hand, look around the room, and throw the things that can be thrown away immediately into the garbage bag.
If you do this, it will accelerate each time you throw it away.
Even if you are a person who can't throw things away easily, you can enjoy the pleasure of throwing them away with confidence that you can throw them away properly if they are unnecessary.
Also, you can decide on a theme for the 27 that you will throw away.
For example, you can decide to collect things that should not be in the room, not garbage,
or to throw away 27 clothes, or to throw away 27 books and magazines, or to decide on a theme.
Of course, if it's difficult, anything is fine.
If you throw away 27, it's okay.
Don't think about difficult things in your own easy way.
Just keep throwing away for 15 minutes.
Next, I will explain the method of magic that can be absolutely thrown away by anyone.
Now, I introduced the method of throwing away 27 in a row, but some people may stop on the way.
It would be better for such people to throw away simple things or things that can be thrown away by anyone and increase their experience.
So, I will introduce more and more things that can be thrown away.
First of all, it is obvious garbage that anyone can see.
For example, empty bottles of pet bottles, empty cans of juice, paper scraps of sweets,
food that is forgotten in the back of the refrigerator, food that is moldy, meat that has been discolored, etc.
Let's throw away the obvious garbage first.
And let's decide to throw away things that are out of date.
If you check the space where the seasonings, canned goods, cans, etc. are placed,
I think there are always things that are out of date.
Also, if there are things that are out of date even in the refrigerator,
if they are out of date for no reason, decide to let go and let go.
In addition, food is not the only thing that is out of date.
The same goes for medicine and cosmetics.
There should be a expiration date on the medicine.
If it is written on the cosmetics, please throw away everything that is out of date.
Of course, if you find something that is clearly discolored, throw it away right now.
The fact that there are a lot of out-of-date products
is the best proof that you are buying too much of the amount that you cannot consume as a stock.
It is important to realize that.
In addition, there are many things that are out of date.
Discount vouchers, discount vouchers, coupon vouchers, etc.
If you look at your wallet again, there should be a lot of coupon vouchers that are out of date.
In addition, you can also throw away the manuals of household appliances that you are not using now.
In addition, do not buy it yourself, but also throw away all the stuff you got for free.
For example, when you go to a movie theater or a museum,
you will notice that you are overflowing with things that you got for free.
These things are supposed to be lying around.
Basically, people don't value what they get for free.
In the first place, we are overflowing with things that we like and buy for money,
so there should be no room in our house for free stuff.
Let's throw it away right now.
And it is also important to throw away what is out of date.
If you have more than two of the same thing, leave the one you like and the one that is easy to use,
and then throw it away without any questions.
For example, scissors, nail clippers, hairbrushes, etc.
tend to increase the number of things you get for free.
Next, I would like to introduce the third one.
The magic method that anyone can definitely throw away is
the method of throwing it away if you get lost.
Now, many people say,
I wonder if I should throw it away. I wonder what to do.
I wonder if I should leave it.
You may get lost.
So the author strongly recommends that you throw it away if you get lost.
Instinctively, when you can't decide right away,
it's easiest to decide to throw it away if you get lost.
If you get lost and don't throw it away,
you have to decide whether or not to throw it away later.
In other words, you are just making a decision in advance.
And it takes a lot of energy to make a decision,
so if you do it over and over again, you will get tired more and more.
So I want you to make a decision just once.
Isn't it because you already have a feeling of wanting to throw it away,
a feeling of being in the way,
and you're wondering if you should get something and throw it away?
If it's really important and you use it conveniently every day,
you shouldn't want to throw it away in the first place.
You're wondering if you should throw away your bed, but you're not, are you?
That's because the bed is absolutely necessary.
You're not wondering if you should throw away this smartphone, are you?
That's because the smartphone is absolutely necessary.
So you don't really need to wonder if you should throw it away in the first place.
However, when people try to throw it away, they get addicted to it,
so they just get lost.
In that case, let's decide to throw it away.
In fact, if you throw something away, you can see it,
but there is almost no such thing as
throwing it away and rebuying it.
We humans forget about the thing itself
as soon as we throw it away.
So even if you get lost,
let's just give it a try and throw it away.
Of course, there is almost no need to buy a new one,
but if it is absolutely necessary, you should buy a new one.
If you think there is an option to buy a new one,
you should be able to throw it away more and more.
Now, I would like to introduce the fourth one.
The magic method that anyone can definitely throw away.
I will explain how to throw away clothes that you have not worn for a year.
Well, most people who are listening to this
are probably piling up clothes more than necessary.
Despite not wearing much,
it is very likely that there is no space
because you are piling up clothes too much,
or the room is messy.
So I want you to take the standard of
throwing away clothes that you have not worn for a year.
People who can't throw away their clothes
are probably piling up clothes
because they think they might wear them someday,
but there is almost no possibility of wearing clothes
that you have not worn at all for a year.
So I'm going to let go of it.
I think that just by throwing away according to the standard
of throwing away what you have not worn for a year,
you can reduce the number of clothes,
but there are other standards to be thrown away.
For example, clothes that do not fit the size.
Of course, clothes that do not fit the size
are not comfortable to wear,
and they do not look good,
so I want you to throw them away first.
In addition, clothes that have stains,
have been torn,
or have been left unbuttoned,
and clothes that smell strange
are now the time to throw them away.
Also, clothes that you used to like,
but no longer like,
and clothes that are not your hobby.
After all, I don't wear such clothes,
so let's throw them away.
Also, I want you to throw away
the clothes you have left behind.
Clothes you wore on your honeymoon,
clothes you bought on your trip,
do you still keep them in memory?
If you don't want to lose beautiful memories,
there is also a way to take only photos and throw away the clothes.
Next, I would like to introduce the fifth one.
The magic method that can be absolutely thrown away by anyone.
Ask yourself if you will buy it again.
I will explain about throwing away what you answered not to buy.
Now, when you think of throwing away something,
if you don't have this thing now,
it is extremely important to ask yourself
if you will buy it again.
And if you don't buy the answer,
please throw it away.
For example, many people think of throwing away a book,
but I don't think they can throw it away.
However, if you don't have this book in your hand now,
or if you ask yourself if you will buy the same book at the same price,
and if you don't buy the answer,
it's just a gift effect.
It's just a book you don't need to have in your hand,
so let's throw it away.
The gift effect is that once you own it,
you will think that the item is better than necessary.
However, if you don't pay for it again and don't buy it,
you don't need it.
Also, this method is used not only for books,
but also for clothes, tableware, and daily necessities.
It's okay. You can throw it away.
If it's really necessary,
you should answer that you want to pay for it again.
You don't need to say no.
Now, I would like to introduce the sixth one.
The magic method that anyone can definitely throw away
is the method of throwing away unused tableware for no reason.
By the way, many people's kitchens are full of things.
Many people have too many tableware inside.
So, first of all, let's throw away unused tableware.
If you don't use it now,
you probably won't use it in the future.
Or, let's throw away the tableware that is missing
and the tableware that is dirty.
In addition, you should have a lot of tableware that is difficult to use.
There are also a lot of tableware that is doubled.
Mug cups, which are often given as gifts,
are probably the easiest to collect among tableware.
However, even if there are two of the same thing,
it will just be bulky,
so please squeeze it into one and use it carefully.
Also, heavy tableware should also be discarded.
Heavy tableware is difficult to put in and out of the tableware,
and it is also difficult to wash.
Just washing it will make you tired,
and it is difficult to dispose of it because it is the source of the accident.
Next, I would like to introduce the 7th and last.
A magical method that can be absolutely discarded by anyone.
I will explain the origin of the garakuta problem,
and how to clean up the prime zone.
Now, if you don't know where to start cleaning up,
please try to clean up from the prime zone.
The prime zone is the place where things are piled up anyway.
Prime means fundamental in English.
The prime zone is the fundamental cause of the garakuta problem.
Please think of a place where you think there are the most things in your house.
Especially the place where things are piled up,
or the place where you have too many things.
That is your prime zone.
For example, a closet, a bathroom drawer, a dining table drawer,
a desk drawer, a dresser drawer, and a pantry drawer
will be the prime zone for many people.
The place where things are piled up is different for each person.
Everyone should have a prime zone somewhere in their house or room.
By concentrating on cleaning up what is in this prime zone,
it takes a lot of work to clean up the whole house.
Now, I will sum up the contents of the three precepts.
Summary of the three precepts.
In the three precepts, there are seven magic methods that anyone can definitely throw away.
The first method is to throw away 27 clothes in 15 minutes.
The second method is to throw away what you can always throw away.
The third method is to throw away what you can always throw away if you get lost.
The fourth method is to throw away clothes you haven't worn for a year.
The fifth method is to throw away what you have asked yourself whether you will buy again.
The sixth method is to throw away the utensils you don't use for no reason.
The seventh method is to clean up the prime zone.
That's all for today.
