Looking around my room at all my possessions used to suffocate me, I had so much stuff lying around. Did I care for that small bookshelf in the corner which didn’t hold all my books but merely was there to display pieces of art or books I considered classic that they had to be displayed out in the open. But for what purpose?
Do you ever look at your possessions and ask yourself what purpose does this serve in my life? When was the last time I picked this up or used it? Am I just holding onto this because it reminds me of the past, a past I do not want to let go of? How does it really make me feel?
How to minimalise:
Put all your possessions into boxes, now when you need something take it out and place it in your room. By the end of the month get rid of everything remaining in the boxes. Items you find hard to let go off, take a picture of them so you have the memory saved in a camera roll or in a photo album rather than the physical item.
Benefits:
- Do not have to waste time looking for items/deciding what to wear
- Clear sense of direction
- Less clutter in your brain
- Focus on important decisions | more productive
- Allows you to make better purchasing decisions
- Saves money in the long-run
