The KonMari Method — Keep Only What Sparks Joy

The KonMari Method remains the gold standard for minimalist transformations, with its category-by-category purge yielding an average of 40 garbage bags of clutter released per household. Holding each item and asking if it sparks joy sounds absurd until you witness the emotional release it triggers. This approach outperforms #2's One-In-One-Out Rule by addressing root emotional attachments, not just inflows.
