There are parents' homes! Things that are not used but can not be let go

Thank you for always looking at my posts ♡

There are things in my family...

"It's still usable" and "It's a waste."

I have taken it,

In fact, there are many things that do not have a turn anymore!

Because it is an important value for the parent generation, it tends to fight if you try to throw it away...

That's why it's recommended to talk to the "future standard" ✨

Will you use it from now on?

"If someone would be happy, would you give it up?"

As a result of such a conversation, the inside of the house may become lighter little by little ☺️✨

... Read more私が「トヨタ式 片付け」を実家の片付けに取り入れてラクになったのは、“気合いで捨てる”より「判断を迷わせない流れ」を作れたことでした。親世代の「もったいない」「いつか使うかも」は自然な価値観なので、否定から入ると一気に空気が悪くなります…。 まず意識したのは、トヨタ式でよく言われる“ムダをなくす”を、物にも当てはめて考えること。使っていない物が多い状態は、探す時間・管理する手間・収納の圧迫=ムダが増える状態なんですよね。だから私は「捨てよう」ではなく「これから使いやすくしよう」と目的を共有しました。 やり方はシンプルで、(1)同じ種類を集める→(2)現状を見える化→(3)残す基準を決める、の順番。例えば「もらい物のタオル」「箱入りのギフトセット」「食器」みたいにカテゴリごとに一箇所へ集めると、“思ったより量がある”が一目で伝わります。ここで責めないのがコツで、「わぁ、こんなにあったんだね。誰かに分けたら喜ばれそう」と未来の使い道に話を向けました。 次に“残す基準”は、私の場合は「これから1年で使う?」「使う場所が決まってる?」「同じ用途の物がいくつ必要?」の3つ。特にタオルや食器は数が増えやすいので、「来客用は◯枚」「普段用は◯枚」と上限を先に決めると判断が速いです。 手放し方も、「捨てる」一択にしないのがポイント。親が抵抗を感じやすいときは「譲る」「寄付」「リサイクル」「使い切る(古タオルを雑巾にする)」など、“活かす”選択肢を並べると納得してくれました。私は実際、箱入りタオルは親戚に分けて、残りは自宅で使い始めたら収納が一気に軽くなりました。 最後に、扇風機や家電のような「まだ動くけど何年も使ってない物」は、“いつか”を具体化するのが効果的でした。「今年の夏に使う?使うなら出して動作確認しよう。使わないなら、必要な人に回すのはどう?」と期限を切ると話が進みやすいです。 トヨタ式片付けって、結局は“仕組み化して迷いを減らす”ことだなと感じています。実家は一気に変えようとせず、まずはタオルやギフトセットみたいな「判断しやすいカテゴリ」から小さく成功体験を作るのがおすすめです。

things that used to be normal…
It’s honestly crazy when you think about it. The things people now pay extra for, fight to maintain, or label as “healthy living” used to just be… normal life. Fresh food. Playing outside. Home cooked meals. Knowing your neighbors. Eating dinner together. Less chemicals. Less screens.
