More and More…Stuff!
Sorting through our stuff we found items in categories we had already sorted. In this recent video we deal with that, and other stuff we hid from ourselves.
Forced Minimalism Interview
In this video interview we talk to Sean Boyle about his experience of forced minimalism. After losing everything, he traveled over 1,000 miles on his bicycle back to Phoenix with just a trailer filled with what was left of his belongings.
This teaches a valuable lesson about letting go of stuff before the decision is made for you.
How to Reduce Your Wardrobe
Clothing, style, and how we look can be intimately tied to our identity.
Purging our wardrobes to keep only those clothes that we actually wear on a regular basis flies in the face of this idea. Letting go of pieces of clothing can feel like letting go of pieces of our self, our past, our loved ones. Yet, for a de-cluttering or other reducing project, we have to find a way to make peace with that idea.
Choosing a De-cluttering Strategy
It seems like it should be simple – to get rid of the clutter in our lives – but it’s not. Dealing with clutter can be an overwhelming endeavor and many people put it off. It took us awhile, and several failed attempts over the years, to decide on a de-cluttering strategy that works for us (at least it’s working so far!). To figure out what works for you, start by figuring out your goal for the project and then put together an approach that fits that goal and the other elements of your life and personality.
