What everyone should do is to "abandon"
Everest Textile / Daniel
"From thrift to luxury, from luxury to simplicity", "behavior" directly affects the formation of habits and the establishment of ideas. From now on, make up your mind to start "breaking up and leaving", and don't let the superfluous and repetitive items fill the limited space! ___________
Understanding from Sadness
Mothers often help their children reorganize their messy rooms and throw things. However, if the adults are still alive, the children offer or start throwing things for their elders on their own initiative, it will be considered a great evil. In fact, as we get older, our ability to deal with things deteriorates and our sensitivity to the environment decreases. If we don't take care of it carefully, the accumulation of living things is common. Not exceptionally, I started to rectify after my parents left. Faced with the clothes in the wardrobe and a lot of paper and other indescribable materials, with reluctant sadness and helplessness, I could only deal with donations, discards, recycling, collections and other matters patiently in a mood of sadness and respect. A reorganization is a year's effort. Because I inherited my father's good habits, I am a person who pays special attention to tidiness and likes to start reorganization. The concept of "breaking up" is through some writings from Japan and Europe. When I face the embarrassing situation left by my elders, I make a pledge in my heart that "never let the next generation face this dilemma again".
Fat people don't grow up in a day.
Usually what we see is the result of things, but "habit" is the cause of the result, just as people do not suddenly eat fat, it must be accumulated excess calories gradually created. If you want to maintain weight, you only need "the calories you consume equal to the calories you consume". If you want to lose weight, you must "consume less calories than the calories you consume". Similarly, if you want to live lightly, you must do the same.
Simply put, when you open a drawer, you will find a pile of pens, erasers, and handy notes of different sizes. They can't be used up and new stationery can't be put in. In fact, most people keep surplus articles that they can't use for a lifetime. Enlarged to the surroundings of life, kitchen pans and pans, impulsive purchases of household appliances, incompetent clothing, shoes and bags, mountains of magazines and newspapers, as well as a full table of cosmetics, over-purchase, collection, and the habit of not regularly cleaning up, so that redundant, duplicate items filled with limited space. It should be the best interpretation of "gathering sand to make a tower and gathering armpits to make a fur".
Too much reluctance, possibility and dissatisfaction
Growing up in the wartime era of material shortage, the elders usually have the habit and virtue of thrifty housekeeping. The old woolen overcoats and mottled wooden storage boxes found at home are proof that they are reluctant to throw away and keep memorials in their minds. For them, the memorial value of these materials is better than practicality, and the most handled by the younger generation is also such items, let alone classified as them. Intergenerational "break-up" of kinship. Not only that, bottles and cans of different sizes and shapes, or plastic bags full of pits and valleys are common. Their reason is "the possibility of using them in the future". Just as clothes of different colors in wardrobes may need to be matched in different occasions, we value their usability, but ignore the quality and way of controlling their quantity and preservation. For example, the souvenirs of Taiwan's public CLY quoted entity shareholders'meeting are unique in the world. In the peak season of the meeting, minority shareholders rush to various venues or souvenir distribution points. As a result, many families have more boxes of souvenirs with high homogeneity. In fact, these souvenirs do not really create practicality, nor do they have so-called souvenir value. They are purely heartfelt dissatisfaction. The problem of foot extension.
Moving is a good time to execute the break-up.
Because of living or working needs, individuals have rich experience in moving, but they are hard to understand the advantages of this kind of action. Settlement is the norm of modern life. Once people have settled down, they will start to store things, keep this and that. However, whenever we move, we will actively initiate or experience a "cut-off" program. Whether it is based on transportation costs or the size of space, we usually do not move a large amount of cluttered materials to a new place intact, so we have the opportunity to deal with and lose weight. The feeling of "may be used" or "unwilling" will become much weaker at this time, because the freshness of the next stop will encourage you to abandon the old and the new. Recalling that in mid-2017, when I returned to Taiwan from the mainland, I shipped 12 boxes of personal belongings from five or seven small schools. Relatively, I gave up the same amount of belongings. Relocation made me choose to lose weight. I also fully realized the essence of "breaking away".
Practice in the workplace
From the point of view of human nature, there is nothing wrong with the domestication of the office, because the average office worker has more than 10 hours a day in the office area. From the perspective of enterprise management, professional image, modern presentation and efficient operation are the key points, so the needs of enterprises should be given priority consideration. In the private sphere, whether the desk can be individualized, whether the wall can hang private photos, whether private goods can be planned a certain storage space, and so on, involves the design of humanized management; in the public sphere, the management of paper files, the standardization of office furniture, the rules of dressing at work, etc., the overall planning should take precedence over the individual. The concept of "cut-off" can work in both areas, such as the standard filing time and binding method of archives, which archives are not allowed to be printed, and the provisions of personal space and public space allowing the placement of items. After formulating the relevant rules, in addition to personal self-management, timely inspection, supervision and adjustment can make everyone choose and follow. Once self-discipline and discipline are formed, the "break-up" will shape the style and image of the enterprise.
Start from environmental protection and form habits
Simply put, "break-up" means simplicity or simplification, including: reduction in quantity (if three pairs of shoes can cope with all situations, there is no need to have a fourth or more pairs of shoes), change in attitude towards life (with purchasing adjusted to planned purchasing, single use adjusted to multiple use or reuse).
Business philosophy under capitalism emphasizes growing year by year. Behind it is a large number of manufacturing and sales. Consumers are educated to accelerate consumption or waste, but it is excessive abuse and accelerated destruction to the earth's environment. Although responsible enterprises will do social welfare, no enterprises will actively advocate "quitting". The government has not awakened, the enterprise does not put into action, does not mean that the individual can not do, does not need any magnificent ideas, high-profile ideals or ambitious goals, only needs to formulate a set of suitable "cut-off" codes, according to practice, flexibility adjustment, try to spread the seeds of ideas, try to influence more people, not why, only to maintain the sustainable life of the earth.
