An article takes you to read and accept.

Regarding storage, our state is nothing more than the following four.

Needless to say, the first one who can achieve good results in a short time is a master; The second type can also achieve a good storage effect, but it takes too much time and energy; The third tragedy, although it is intentional to organize and store, is unable to do it well; The last one is also very common, just don't accept it, don't sort it out, and give up on yourself. Below I will talk about how to solve the storage problem from three aspects: what, why and how.

One, why, why did you put it in? The reasons for admission are nothing more than the following:

1, the information received by the human brain is limited, and neatness is more comfortable than disorder.

2. Save time and energy because we spend too much time looking for things every day.

3. Solve the contradiction between the decrease of living area and the expansion of material desire. If you look at Japan, you will know that the narrow living space per capita leads to a generally accepted culture.

4. Help us manage things better and re-examine the relationship between people and things.

5, let people gain a sense of control over life and relieve stress.

Second, what, what is storage?

A clear definition is the first step for us to truly master a knowledge. In my opinion, storing things means more than just putting things in order at home. It refers to a systematic project in which we control the quantity and quality of the goods used, put them in a reasonable position for easy access at a time, and habitually put them back in their original places.

This definition includes several important contents:

First, control the quantity and quality of the goods we use. This is the first step of admission-breaking up.

Many people can't accept it because they have directly crossed the "give up" part, which leads to more and more things and can't be cleaned up well. Storage is a trade-off process. We store what we really need and like, not everything we have. Don't buy things you don't need or like; Don't leave old, useless and repetitive things in your hand; Stay away from the temptation of material things and let yourself be in a spacious and comfortable space.

Second, put the goods in a reasonable position. This is the second step of storage-collection.

What is reasonable? Rationality must meet two conditions.

Functionally speaking, reasonable means convenient for us to access.

The purpose of storage is not to hide everything where others can't see it, and then give yourself and others an illusion: Oh, this house is really clean. The real purpose of storage is to make it easier for us to get what we need in life. Someone joked that people spend 70% of their life looking for things. This is of course a joke, but before I learned to store things, I really spent a lot of time looking for things. When I can't find something, my heart will be particularly entangled. I don't want to do anything, so I have to rummage through everything. If the storage is finished, it will be even more inconvenient for you to take things, which only shows that you are doing a "fake storage".

From the visual effect, rationality means concealment, classification and unity.

We will feel that a messy room will make people uncomfortable, because too much information comes into our sight, and different colors, textures, shapes and placement positions make our minds unable to handle it for a while. And storage, by putting items with similar colors and shapes together, or putting items in a consistent container to form a consistent shape, reduces the information that our brain has to process, thus giving people comfort.

Third, habitually put things back in their original places. This is the third and most difficult step of storage-release.

Only by putting the items to be stored back in their original places can we avoid entering the storage-chaos-indulgence-which is really unbearable-and start a new round of storage. Putting it back is even more anti-human. Most people are used to putting things at random, not because you are lazy, but because preserving physical strength is our gene passed down from ancient times. How to break this spell?

First of all, we should do the second step above, and put the items in a reasonable position for us to take and put.

For example, some friends put everything in the washstand in the mirror cabinet in order to put everything away. Do you think he will put them back every day? The answer is no, within three days, everything must be piled up with the washstand. You can't blame others for being lazy, but the way you collected in the second step is wrong. The correct way is to put commonly used items in open cabinets and products with low frequency of use in mirror cabinets. This is in line with the details of life, so as to guide people to put used items back in their original places.

Another important skill is to label the container.

It is an important step to label items when we put them in a unified container. Labeling can help you distinguish them. It has a magical effect, that is, once you label them, you will feel a power to put them in a container with corresponding labels after use. This trick has been tried and tested in my family. No matter the clothes in the closet or the files in the folder, once there is a label, not only myself, but also my family will put things back.

Third, and finally, how, how to really store efficiently?

I want to give some practical tips. In fact, in the second part, I talked about what storage is, and I also mentioned a lot.

1, remember that the trilogy is indispensable: throw, catch and return.

2, storage should be based on the principle of nearest distribution, to achieve uniform distribution. Because the layout of each home and the living habits of family members are different, the storage methods need to be different from person to person, rather than following other people's storage plans.

3. In order to make the home more tidy, we can consider packing messy items in a unified container, such as clothes, books, even toiletries, kitchen spices and so on. Later, I will write an article to introduce some easy-to-use and high-value storage containers.

Labeling containers is a good way for us to put them in place. Once labeled, you will put the items in the right place. Don't ask me why, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't put it or put it in the wrong place.

5. When you make your own storage plan according to the storage principle, you will find that a really good storage plan is twice the result with half the effort.
