1.
Make a list
Make a list of all the reasons you want to live more simply.
Are you a borrower?
What is that for?
Do you have enough time to spend with your family?
Do you sleep well at night?
2.
Find unwanted things
Walk at home.
Collect the only things you don’t use anymore.
Choose unnecessary cups from the same type of cups in the kitchen.
Collect such things and pack them in a box or cupboard.
If you don’t need to use it for thirty days (one month), donate it to someone who doesn’t have it.
You can resell as pre loved items too.
3.
Introduce residents to a disturbance-free zone in the home.
This is a kitchen table.
It could be a few chairs in the living room, a bedroom, or a kitchen drawer.
If you enjoy that clean, clear environment, expand the zone a little by little each day.
When first practicing, a clutter-free dressing table can turn into a messy room ,
A clutter-free room can become the clutter-less home you’ve been thinking about.
4.
Travel lightly.
Family trips, leisure trips, we use minimalism and simplicity. If you are traveling for 4 days depending on the nature of the trip, accommodation etc., pack for three days,
You can wash or hang the same clothes if you want.
Even if you don’t always think this is possible, pack only the essentials then experience how it feels to carry less luggage.
5.
Use less clothes.
Think carefully about the clothes you have with you considering your duty, profession and other travels.
Open the closet to see if there are any forgotten clothes that you haven’t been able to wear after a while.
If so, realize that you are dressed without them and that it is useless to keep them around in case you need them someday.
6.
Prepare simple meals.
This does not mean that you have to eat the same food every day…. But from time to time you can buy cheap vegetables and fruits as they are abundant and prepare them in different ways and eat them.
Try it for a week.
Ask the likes and dislikes of the family.
7.
Save some money 💰 .
An emergency fund simplifies everything. If you are paying off any debt, put a small amount into a cardless account.
Do this for about 6 months and check that account.
You really feel happy.
If not all of these at once,
try one by one and take small steps forward to reach the simple life you desire. Even if it takes 10 years to get to where you think you want to be, the rewards happen quickly.
The joys of being a beginner minimalist intrigue you.
So a good start for those who want to go on that journey
