[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sometime last year I started a mission to methodically declutter our entire house. I wouldn’t say we are going full minimalist, but definitely minimal-ish. Once you get going on decluttering, it’s pretty rewarding to see the results in certain area and it’s very motivating to not want to buy more things. I also follow a lot of people on YouTube who support this and believe similarly and it’s very motivating. I think I’m about halfway done decluttering and aim to finish by the end of summer. It has been proven study after study that more stuff does NOT make people happy, beyond their actual needs.

I am not opposed to having nice things or replacing things that get worn out/used up. But I don’t need 20 sweaters. I’m down to my 10 favorites and even that I should cull further. And I don’t need to buy more. Just for example. [/quote]

Which YouTubers are you following? My 2024 goal was to declutter the house, I got halfway through by year end, which is a miracle. In autumn 2024, I had 4 sofas in the house (2 old and 2 new). I was so depressed to have to walk around them. It was the kick I needed to finally working on my 2024 goal LOL Now I only have the 2nd floor to go, I feel motivated.

PP here. I think teaching styles are very personal and you have to find someone that speaks to you but my favorite is The Minimal Mom. She has a way of explaining it that just makes sense to me and sticks with me. She is more minimalist than I even want to be, but she isn’t preachy or judgy at all and still gives me the right way to think about things. She does have a business but she also isn’t constantly promoting it either. [/quote]
