Every home has one. Mine now has a rule: if it goes in twice without being used, it leaves.

Three things I kept in case. In case never came, and the shelf was doing more work than the objects.

Same method in all three rooms: empty one surface completely, then decide what earns its way back.

Ikhaya ngalinye linalo. Eyami beyingakavulwa kuhle eminyakeni emibili, begodu ngakhuluma ngayo.

Ingcenye yalokho abantu abakubiza ngokuthi kukuhlobisa kuthutha lokho osuvele unakho ngamamitha amathathu ukuya ngesinceleni.

Not productive, not aesthetic. Just an hour where nothing is being optimised, which is the point.

I moved one chair to the light and stopped needing a morning routine. That was the whole change.
