Cluttering can really ruin your productivity and make you anxious and I don’t want you to be one! So to have a minimalist lifestyle, get rid of the unnecessary things you don’t really need.
More the merrier, but how often have we seen too many cooks spoiling the broth? Well, personally a lot of times! So I love the idea of a minimalist lifestyle, firstly because the lesser the things are, the more feasible it is to manage them. Being a minimalist saves you from a lot of clutter and nuisance for real. So if you are interested in getting rid of the clutter and cutting on the number of things you own, here is an ultimate guide for you to get one:
Fact check — On average a house has over three lakhs item, where all of them may or may not be needed in your day to day life and maybe that’s why you need to consider decluttering. Also, decluttering can help you make some really decent sum and that can be your secondary goal of getting rid of the extra furniture, electronics, clothing or any other item.
So how do you begin? Let’s start with the following:
Minimalist Wardrobe
Okay, I love dressing up too and I would never possibly rant on you about not shopping! But but but, the minimalist wardrobe is one of the first and important steps towards a minimalistic lifestyle. Have a sizable amount of clothes as long as it fits into your closet. Cluttering the wardrobe is not just annoying but can take up a lot of your time and effort to maintain it. Who has not struggled to find the black jeans from the cluttered closet after all?
What we have to do is, simply pair your clothes well and plan it in a way where one piece can compliment a lot of other pairs. It is one of the wisest wardrobe hacks. Afterall smart clothing and smart alignment are far better than wasting 12 days a year in looking for that one ever lost piece of cloth.
Cluttering can really ruin your productivity and make you a closet slob and I don’t want you to be one! So to have a minimalistic wardrobe, get rid of the unnecessary pair of clothes and maybe list it on the sites or get it exchanged or for a better cause, donate!
Minimalist Furniture
The average size of houses has gradually hit an all-time high but downgrading the size of your house is not a bad deal to live a minimalist life. You can get the best convertible and less space-consuming piece of furniture today to give your little toe the space it needs (lol). But on a serious note, selling off your old and unnecessarily huge piece of furniture can really help declutter your space.
Moreover, there are a plethora of benefits to downsizing your house. For starters, you can save a lot more money, the cost of maintenance will decrease sizeably, and you will have a much more peaceful Sundays! Not a bad deal, eh?
This one is the most crucial part of having a minimalist lifestyle. We are born in a generation where adulthood hits us after the EMIs do. Between paying the bills to toss between savings and credit card debts, managing life becomes difficult. That’s why we are constantly looking for better financial management hacks to make our lives easier.
But bank rewards and cashback points are not so helpful and hence the minimalistic approach is our savior! Being a minimalist can save you from guilty shopping, debts, and can largely help you in cutting down on own your expenses.
Living a minimalistic life maybe be a little difficult at the start and you may need some time to settle. However, it will gradually make everything much simpler and easier. You can spend more time living than forgetting and looking for things you don’t really need.
