Take the time to sort all of your little knickknacks into “I need this to function” and “I don’t need this to function”. Take all of the things that you don’t need and sort them into “it would break my heart to get rid of this” and “ I’d survive but I’d be sad”. For all the stuff that you could survive without, try to move them to a different place, and if you can’t do that, then get rid of them

Consider the things that take up space in your home. do you use them? do you need them? do they spark joy? would you move with it? if the answer‘s in the negative, consider getting rid of it.
it’s just stuff…

Put everything in one big pile in the middle of the room. If you have a lot of stuff it’s going to look and feel insane—this is good because it’ll make you aware of how much you have.
Sort everything into three piles: a pile for yes, a pile for maybe, a pile for no. After you’ve finished go through the maybe pile and be critical, discerning, decisive, erring towards no as much as possible. Once you’ve gone through the maybe pile and have your two yes and no piles, put everything from the no pile in bags or boxes to give away.
Find a place or devise a solution to store everything in the yes pile in an organized and clutter-free manner where it’s tucked neatly away. If you can’t find a place for everything you either have to get more creative or get rid of more stuff!
Then make a habit of putting everything away when you're finished using it and cleaning a little bit every day as maintenance.

It’s a dark path but it works… sometimes after a purge I feel regret but things are only things. When I give things away I imagine someone finding them and feeling happy/excited/lucky and that helps with any sadness I might feel. alternatively I would suggest just developing more robust storage systems so that everything has a place and doesn’t feel so overwhelming

Completely instrumental and improvisational jazz, blues and funk fusion. Its a cornerstone of African psychedelic rock in my opinion. I highly recommend listening to Minlbelesh and avoiding Bati Bati.
