Keep What Sparks Joy

There are three types of things that you should keep:

  • things that directly spark joy to you personally,
  • those that provide functional joy, and
  • those that lead to future joy.

These are your criteria for choosing what to keep in your workspace.

If the words spark joy just don’t seem to click in your work setting, feel free to substitute something else that does. E.g. Will this help my company prosper?

Always keep in mind that the reason you are tidying is not to throw things away and declutter your desk but to realize your ideal work life, the one that sparks joy for you.
