Pbraun- LOL!

I just ran across a decluttering video where the person was discussing ways to help yourself decide how much to keep. The gist of it was that you could set a number for each type of thing, or choose a container to limit the amount of an item. I like the idea of mixing both methods, though I find that I more often use the container method. For example: scraps- I have a designated drawer for crumbs and once it’s full I can’t keep any more crumbs until I make room in that drawer by using up what I’ve already got. Same with my clothes. I have one drawer for my good tshirts and polo shirts- if it's full, no more can come into the house unless I get rid of some.

Not sure how well this idea would work for everyone, but it has definitely helped me set limits on how much fabric and thread I keep on hand in my studio.
