In <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/goodbye-things\/preview\" rel=\"nofollow\">Goodbye, Things<\/a>, <\/em>Fumio Sasaki offers two tips to avoid accumulating new possessions in the future:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-eliminate-something-old-whenever-you-acquire-something-new\"><strong>1) Eliminate Something Old Whenever You Acquire Something New<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, Sasaki recommends adopting a personal rule: <strong>every time you acquire a new item, you must also discard something that you already have. <\/strong>This may be challenging to keep up, but it will force you to think carefully about what you need and prevent you from stockpiling possessions again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Other minimalists build on Sasaki\u2019s advice with tips to make the most use out of the \u201cone-in, one-out\u201d rule. They explain that this rule is most effective when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/one-in-one-out-decluttering-rule-8610130\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">making swaps of equivalent value and worth<\/a>: for instance, trade one old pair of jeans for a new one instead of swapping a cracked plastic container for a set of wine glasses. They also recommend that you use this rule to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecommons.earth\/blog\/10-surprising-items-you-can-swap-with-reusables\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">swap disposable items for more durable items<\/a>. For example, you can trade that cracked plastic container for a high-quality glass container that will last much longer.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-declutter-routinely\"><strong>Declutter Routinely<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Greg McKeown in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/essentialism\/preview\" rel=\"nofollow\">Essentialism<\/a>, <\/em>for your closet to stay organized, you need a maintenance system that\u2019s automatic, so it stays consistently organized without requiring a Herculean effort every so often. In your life, once you\u2019ve decided what things to pursue, you need a system to make doing the important things simple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-don-t-obtain-something-simply-because-it-s-a-good-deal\"><strong>2) Don\u2019t Obtain Something Simply Because It\u2019s a Good Deal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, Sasaki advises you to <strong>resist the temptation of bargains and freebies. <\/strong>You might be tempted to make a purchase because it seems like you\u2019re getting a good deal. This is especially true of free items such as promotions, prizes, or items that others are trying to get rid of. Sasaki cautions that free items are never actually free; their true cost is the space they take up in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>How Marketers Use \u201cBargains\u201d to Manipulate You<\/strong><br><br>In trying to resist bargains, it may help to understand the ways that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theminded.org\/post\/how-marketers-use-psychology-to-manipulate-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">marketers use the allure of bargains<\/a> to manipulate customers into believing they\u2019re getting more value than they really are. These strategies typically rely on a customer\u2019s tendency to make \u201crelative comparisons\u201d (such as how one price stacks up to another). Here, we\u2019ll explore three common strategies that marketers use to make customers feel like they\u2019re getting a bargain:&nbsp;<br><br><strong>Anchoring:<\/strong> The marketer presents an \u201coriginal price\u201d that\u2019s higher than the actual price. The customer believes the price has dropped and thinks they\u2019re getting a good deal, even though the \u201cdiscount price\u201d is what the marketer planned on selling the product for in the first place.<br><br><strong>That\u2019s not all: <\/strong>Common in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/i\/infomercial.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">informercials<\/a>, a marketer will tack on an additional product or benefit before the customer has a chance to make a decision. This makes the customer feel like they are getting more value because they\u2019re comparing the current offer to the initial offer.<br><br><strong>Decoy pricing:<\/strong> When comparing two offers, a marketer will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buynomics.com\/glossary-blog\/middleoption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">introduce a <em>third <\/em>offer at a higher price<\/a> so that the middle price option looks like a better value. For example, a seafood restaurant that adds a really expensive menu item might see an increase in sales of its second-most expensive item, which now looks affordable in comparison.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-learn-more-about-maintaining-minimalism\">Learn More About Maintaining Minimalism<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re a minimalist and you want to stop buying new things, check out the full guides to the books mentioned above here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/goodbye-things\/preview\" rel=\"nofollow\">Goodbye, Things<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/app\/book\/essentialism\/preview\" rel=\"nofollow\">Essentialism<\/a><\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you decluttered your home but now struggle to keep it that way?
