[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]
I'm doing this too. And I am repairing things I want to keep. For instance, getting some pants taken in, getting a coat's lining repaired that I want to keep, fixing jewelry I want to wear and then donating everything I don't want anymore. Got rid of most of my holiday decorations and ay household thing I don't like or use anymore. Not saving things for what if or maybe. [b]I feel overwhelmed by what is in my cupboards and getting rid of excess feels great[/b]. I'm doing it slowly but making progress. I will continue this year. [/quote]

Hear hear. I used to tell DH that I go on vacation to get away from our stuff. My goal is to be able to see the entire floor in the house, and be able to reach out and get to all the stuff we need/care. The rest has to go, which including 95% of my cloths and shoes.[/quote]

It IS Amazing to be on vacation and staying in a neat, uncluttered hotel room! [/quote]

It also helps you realize how little you really need. [/quote]
