Lesson 777: How to Establish an Item Tier System (Keep/Store Temporarily/Discard)
Duration:75 minutes
Topic Introduction (Overview):
The reason hoarding is so difficult to improve isn't because there's "too much stuff," but because the brain easily falls into emotional judgment, catastrophic scenarios, and a loss of control when faced with choices. This course will guide you in establishing a clear and actionable "item hierarchy system"—categorizing all items into three types: "Keep," "Store Temporarily," and "Discard," so that decisions are no longer based on emotions but on structure. You will learn how to evaluate items based on five dimensions: frequency of use, functionality, emotional load, substitutability, and safety; how to avoid the cognitive extremes of "keep everything" and "discard everything"; how to make "Store Temporarily" a safe buffer rather than procrastination and avoidance; and how to gradually train your brain to accommodate the psychological space of "it's okay to have less." With a hierarchy system, you will no longer engage in emotional battles with every item, but can move towards tidying in a stable, controllable, and sustainable way.

▲ AI Interaction: How are your items categorized?
Please select the 3 items you are currently most conflicted about, and tell the AI:
① Their respective uses and emotional value
② Why are you reluctant to part with it, or why are you trapped?
AI will assist you:
• We will categorize you based on five dimensions (frequency of use/function/emotional load/substitutability/risk).
• Provide a temporary storage plan for a "trial period of 14 days".
• Here's a "decision-making stabilizing phrase" that suits you.“
○ Stable Decision-Making & Music Guidance
Play soft, steady instrumental music.
Imagine all those thoughts that pop into your head, like "This is important" or "What if I need it later?", slowly drifting away like clouds.
Music takes you back to a position where you can make clear choices.
○ Chinese Healing Tea: Tangerine Peel Pu-erh Tea for Smoothing and Calming the Mind
Recommended reasons:Dried tangerine peel relieves stagnation and soothes the chest; Pu-erh tea is mild and calms the spleen, making it suitable for those who experience chest tightness and shortness of breath when making decisions.
practice:Steep 3 grams of Pu-erh tea and a small amount of dried tangerine peel in 90°C hot water for 2–3 minutes.
○ Chinese Dietary Therapy: Job's Tears and Lotus Seed Porridge for Clearing the Heart
The fatigue and anxiety that come with making decisions can affect focus and judgment.
Job's tears invigorate the spleen and eliminate dampness, while lotus seeds calm the mind. This porridge can help the brain recover from being "overwhelmed by chaos".
Only by maintaining a stable physical state can one make stable choices.
○ Ancient Roman script · “I can choose step by step.”
Practice sentences:
I can choose to proceed step by step.
Key points to note:
- The strokes of Roman script emphasize structure, symbolizing a sense of order in choices.
- “The "step by step" format is written evenly, allowing you to maintain rhythm when faced with chaos.
- Keep the horizontal line steady and remind yourself: it's okay to take it slow.
Mental Healing: Mental Mandala Meditation Text 51
In a mandala, some lines are close together and some are far apart, but together they form a whole.
A mandala is not about drawing something, but about observing it:
Watch how different social strata coexist peacefully;
Watch how you find your rhythm between "needing to stay" and "being able to let go".
You don't need to make all the decisions at once; just let each small decision become a ray of light, leading you to a lighter space.

Lesson 777: Three-Tier Grading Chart - Drawing Guidance
Purpose:Transform the abstract decision-making structure into a visual "three-level hierarchical card".
step:
① Draw three concentric circles or three layers from the inside out: retain (core) / temporarily store (middle layer) / abandon (outer layer).
② Write down the 6-8 items you are currently struggling with on the edge.
③ Move each item to its corresponding level. It doesn't need to be perfect; just try once.
④ Write the time limit (14 days / 30 days) next to the "Temporary Storage Area".
⑤ Write a sentence:“I allow myself to make decisions based on structure rather than emotion.”

○ 777. Log Guidance
① What was the item that was hardest for me to classify today? Why?
② What emotions prevented me from making a decision? (Nervousness/Nostalgia/Fear of wasting money/Guilt, etc.)
③ If we look at it from the perspective of a "tiered system", what is the smallest step forward I can take?
④ Which item is suitable to be placed in "temporary storage" so that I don't have to decide immediately?
⑤ Write a sentence:Even small choices count as progress.
Please log in to use.
Classification is not about discarding, but about regaining control;
As you gain the ability to make choices step by step, the space will gradually open up for you.
