The shit rule: is this the most disgusting declining method of all time? | Life and style

Name: The shit rule.

Age: New in the dominant current, already popular on Tiktok.

Appearance: More sanitary than you can imagine.

I try not to imagine it at all. Tiktok now has new rules for poop? Not exactly. Do you remember Marie Kondo?

The storage influencer? This is this one. This rule is in a way an update of his saying to throw everything that does not “arouse joy”.

Continue … Essentially, the rule is: “If this element was covered with poop, would I still keep it?”

And who should we thank for this mental image? Life style influencer Amanda Johnson. She called it “the easiest way to unclutter your home”.

“The simplest way” is to imagine everything you have covered with poop? The idea being this clarifies the elements that you appreciate enough to clean.

Children are then safe. Maybe the dog. But what about everything else? Johnson told the Washington Post that the rule helped her get rid of the clothes she was not wearing, board games and puzzles that her family did not reach and party decorations that she was holding “just in case”.

I have cupboards Lots of these things, but imagining it all Brown and Madelly don't really make me want to roll up my sleeves and dive. This is a silly question, concedes Johnson – but also powerful. “If it weighs or stinks of my space, it must go.” Simple like that! “

Who is it supposed to help? “People who are very visual,” according to the professional organizer Diane N Quintana.

I have no doubt. Also those who “need additional motivation to unclutter”.

Again, I find it hard to see how it is motivating. So-called, the rule is a way to make a storage game which is particularly effective for people with a hyperactivity disorder with attention deficit, deleting options and using a visual prompt to concentrate the mind.

Should it be thatHowever? Could I not imagine the tar Or Nutella? According to Johnson, the disgust bit is the key to helping you “cut emotional attachments”.

I have no emotional attachments to the stuff in my garbage drawer. Maybe the coca rule is simply not for you. But you get the point: maybe you don't need all these various cables and food storage lids if you are not ready to make efforts to keep them.

So, what did Johnson said that she was willingly clean of the fecal matter? China of its great-grandmother, being both precious and useful.

And, can I emphasize, relatively easy to wipe. I think you serve too much.

Say: “This is the result of a company struggling with overconsumption.”

Do not say: “How much shit do we talk about …?”
