Description

Your closets are full, your garage is full, and your drawers won't close — and most of it is being kept "just in case." In this video, you'll learn the 13 things Americans hold on to "just in case" that Japanese homes let go of right away — and the simple Japanese thinking that makes letting go easy. From empty boxes and tangled cables to old paint, unused gifts, expensive gadgets, and the things you're saving for your kids, each one comes with a practical fix you can start tonight. You'll also learn Japanese ideas like mottainai, danshari, teiichi, and seizen seiri — and a simple 3-question test you can use on anything in your home. Which of these 13 do you have the most of? Tell me in the comments. If this helped, subscribe for more Japanese household habits for American homes. #japanesemethod #declutteryourhome
