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.

Manni hundi tokko qaba. Kan koo waggaa lama keessatti sirnaan hin banamne waan tureef, ofii kootii keessa darbee haasa'e.

Half of what people call decorating is moving what you already own three metres to the left.

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.
