In the field of sorting and storage, goods can generally be divided into five categories according to their value: asset goods, consumables, storage goods, tools and spiritual goods. Basically, everything in the house will have one or more of these attributes.
First, assets.
Those things that can preserve and increase value can be regarded as assets.
So what can preserve and increase the value?
Generally speaking, your real estate license, collectibles and wealth management products are all value-preserving items, because these items can bring you more value after being sold.
For the storage of assets, it is recommended to store them centrally, so that you can know your assets more clearly. If it is easy to stay scattered, I will forget it for a long time.
Second, consumables.
The so-called consumables are naturally things that will be used up.
Many things in our daily life can be counted as consumables, such as food, cleaning supplies, stationery and so on, and even household appliances and furniture can be counted as consumables.
Consumables should not be mistaken for assets because of high prices, but should be kept at home for life. Because assets are value-added, consumables are constantly depreciating.
What should I do with consumables?
Follow the principle of fast-forward and fast-out. After the shelf life or service cycle, you need to take the initiative to eliminate it. Don't pile it up at home.
Food and medicine have a shelf life, so you can clearly know when they are not needed. However, clothes actually have a life cycle. The average T-shirt basically takes 65,438+0 years, but it may take longer to maintain it. But when you see that the collar has been deformed, it is basically a reminder that you have thrown it away.
As long as it is a consumable, there must be a service cycle. Pay attention to this, or you will find more and more things at home.
Third, storage.
What is a storage product?
It's the kind of thing that you usually need, but you can't use it all. The most typical ones are probably napkins and roll paper. I believe no one will just buy one roll, because they need it every day, but they can't use it all at once.
We must have seen similar news, saying that foreigners often clean up the roll paper in the supermarket. This is actually because many foreigners live in the suburbs, and it is very troublesome to buy things at one time, so many things will be stored in large quantities.
And if we want to do healthy warehousing, we can't hoard goods because of discounts and insecurity.
First of all, there are always discounts, there is no such thing as a deadline, so don't spend impulsively. Excessive purchasing is likely to take up a lot of space for a long time, and it is not cost-effective to exchange the small money saved for a lot of space.
Moreover, we have developed e-commerce and convenience stores. In fact, it is very convenient to add a lot of things, so don't worry too much.
Of course, nothing is absolute. For example, under the current epidemic situation in Shanghai, I personally think it is necessary to hoard some materials, but it is not necessary for you to hoard things for several years. It is enough to control them at 1 and 2 months. After all, things can still be bought, but it's a little slow.
Fourth, tools.
Daily functional articles have tool attributes.
Generally there are used brooms, mops, washbasins, nail clippers, or a pair of socks, warm pants, reference books and so on.
As for the choice of tools, in principle, you need to buy those good tools as much as possible, and don't use those free tools. A good tool will give you a completely different experience.
As the saying goes, there is no free lunch. Usually, when we buy things or promote sales, we always give you gifts of one kind or another. These things look very useful, but most of them are tasteless or even useless at all. I remember once going to the supermarket to buy a pot, and the shopping guide also sent several fresh-keeping bowls. At first, I thought it was good. When I went back to use it, I found that the lid was not sealed properly, which was embarrassing. It is a pity to lose that sentence, but it is uncomfortable to use.
Therefore, for tools, we must clearly know our own needs, and tools that fully meet our own needs are good tools. Don't spend money to make yourself uncomfortable.
Fifth, spiritual goods.
As the saying goes, spiritual satisfaction is the greatest satisfaction. Some things may be of low value, but they can make us happy.
1. Audio-visual and book cultural relics:
Books have their own golden house, and reading many classic books will bring great psychological pleasure.
And beautiful music melody can also make people "intoxicated, I don't know where to go."
2. Items that add to the living atmosphere:
When it comes to adding atmosphere, aromatherapy is always the most direct method. Invisible fragrance creates an immersive atmosphere, which takes care of our delicate mood.
Others include nightlight, candles, pillows, etc. , including home clothes, can also bring you comfort.
3. Special projects to enhance confidence.
Items that bring you confidence or spiritual satisfaction on key occasions, such as clothes, jewelry, women's makeup and so on.
For example, some people like to collect all kinds of handicrafts, and the pleasure of getting limited edition handicrafts makes them want to stop.
Some people like bags and collect all kinds of bags at home. In fact, some bags may never be used, but that's what she wants.
These situations are all because people are pursuing a kind of spiritual satisfaction.
It depends on whether this item can meet your spiritual needs. Of course, people's desires may be endless. Therefore, we sometimes have to let ourselves learn to relax and not be kidnapped by these things unconsciously, so that the original pleasure will unconsciously become our spiritual shackles.
To sum up, there are five kinds of value attributes of goods, namely asset goods, consumables, storage goods, tools and spiritual goods.
Assets: It can preserve and increase value, and it is recommended to keep them centrally.
Consumables: there is a shelf life or service cycle, so you should fast forward and fast out.
Storage products: You need them, but you can't use them all at once. You should store them healthily and don't over-store them.
Tools: don't be greedy and cheap, buy well and use it when you can.
Spiritual goods: spiritual needs should be met, and those that cannot be met should be eliminated.
