I read a book yesterday.
This book was written about how to clean a house up.
It said 'Do you nead things now? If you say that you don't, throw it away.'
I think I don't have worldly desires.
When my friends visited my house, almost of them said 'There are not unnecessary things.'
However, when I asked myself that in my house yesterday, I knew I had many uselessness things.
I'll also try looking for those from today.

Somebody told me a few months ago if you haven't used something in over 3 months then it's time to get rid of it. I think he might have a point.

Yes, it's also a good point. In another book the author said if you don't flutter like in love when you look at something, you should get rid of it. It was interesting and useful for me.

I do not know, sometimes there is stuff you need rarely (e.g. bike repair stuff). But instead of throwing away you can always sell it, other people will be glad about it. E.g. I bought a lot of used books in Japan, because they were so cheap (only 50-350 Yen per book), so I can learn with them now. It might not be much for you as a seller, but it’s better than throwing them away.

I personally cannot think of anything useless in my student’s apartment and still it is full.

Hi,Stefan. I'm sorry I didn't correctly write about throwing away. If unnecessary things for me were in the states which could still be used, I always sold them to a thrift shop or gave them to my friends.
I also think it's better than throwing them away.
Thanks your message.
