If you get stuck on the idea of if something sparks joy or not... here is a new test you can use to decide if you want to declutter something or keep it. It's the poop test. Ask this question when trying to decide if something should be decluttered or kept... "if it was covered in poop, would you clean it off or throw the item away?"
If you picked up your running shoes and they were covered in poop, would you clean them, scrape off the poo, take the laces out, soak the shoes and then wash and dry them. Would you do that? Or would you just throw them in the rubbish?
The fundamental idea is that if you create a framework for decision making, it will make it easier for you to make decisions. And the framework needs to fit your values.
If you're someone who wants to be surrounded by items that bring you incredible joy, use the spark joy framework
If you're more of a practical person, use the need it, use it, love it framework
If you're someone who needs to visualise poo on an item to decide if it's worth cleaning to keep... them use that framework!!
