Rule 2: The 90/90 Rule

The 90/90 Rule is a minimalist strategy that encourages you to evaluate the utility of your possessions based on their recent and future use. Ask yourself if you have used an item in the past 90 days, and if not, consider whether you will use it in the next 90 days. If the answer is no to both questions, it might be time to let it go. This rule helps you focus on the practicality and relevance of your belongings, reducing emotional attachment to items that no longer serve a purpose. By implementing the 90/90 Rule, you can streamline your belongings to only those that add value to your daily life.
