Minimalism — or simplification of life — is nothing new. For some time now the term, which involves freeing oneself from uncertainty and, to put it colloquially, "things." In reality, across history, you can find references to minimalism. Nevertheless, the practice did not become popular until the 20th century, when the concept was adopted by writers, photographers, beatniks, architects, and most notable artists.
Citizens all over the country (and around the world) realise that less can really be better. Here is what you need to be aware of, including the possible advantages of adding more order into your orbit.
Tatianaknows prepare for you 20 days to minimalism. A daily schedule task to organise your staff and become more into minimalism concept.
DAY 1. Clothing (bag/purse/wallet)
How many time it was happened to try to find the penny with no successful or spending more time then you would like in front of the door looking for the keys. When I spend and I am not proud of this but scheduling one day per month to see what I have in my bags and what I can afford makes me a person more organised.
DAY 2. Clothes (t-shirt, jeans, skirts, underwear and shoes)
This part could take you more time than your time. My suggestion small steps are the key. So, after you have decided the categorise, for example, jeans, sort it by yes, maybe and definitely not.
What is definitely not send them to the charity, what is maybe to into bag somewhere in your view and if it's still not interesting for you to donate them as well.
You will see feeling you will have just knowing that you gonna help other people.
DAY 3. Beauty products
Everyone has many products which are still there unused. Check the expiry date or the utility of them. Your skin needs all the best.
DAY 4. Accessories
You might have old accessories which you completely have forgotten or damage or out of trend. Classify than and collect what you need and the stuff which you don't need you can send to donation or reuse in another purpose.
DAY 5. Magazines, Manuals & Notebooks.
Let's say this is my dominium. I have a lot of notebooks unfinished and I still love to buy the new ones so take your time and organise your library. Check the pencils which are still working and throw the useless ones.
DAY 6. Old electronics
It is possible to have a lot of staff in this category, so check it, sell it and manage into a nice storage box all the stuff. Feel free to recycle properly the ones which you don't need.
DAY 7. Receipts, Bill & Docs
Find out folder storage, categorise all your docs. In this way, you will find very easy to manage when you will need a document fastly.
DAY 8. General Household
Well is very possible to have an old towel or linen which is old which you can recycle into rags or pet pillow. Explore your imagination or recycling area by getting rid of things that are unsightly or useless.
DAY 9. Cleaning products
You might have lots of bottles almost finished which needs to refill or to throw or maybe you want to try an alternative of chemicals product and trying something more natural such as soda and vinegar.
DAY 10. Junk drawer
Everybody has one and is a big headache when you need something and you can't find it. Well, this is the day to sort, clean and throw the things which you don't actually need.
DAY 11. Tops of shelves
During the time you have accumulated lots of stuff into the place. Release the useless stuff from the shelves, keep it simple with the things which makes you feel happy and organised.
DAY 12. Fridge & Freezer
Check your fridge, the expiry date and the stuff which you don't want to be there. Do the same thing with your freezer. Keeps your places clean & fresh.
DAY 13. Kitchen Area
Here maybe you have containers to refill or cutlery accumulation which might need to be organised. You can also check the expiry dates of the products.
DAY 14. Phone and computer
This day you have to allocate your time and clean your computer and phone of the app which actually you are not using anymore.
DAY 15. Stored media
No matter if it's a digital form of a paper one. Eliminate unnecessary photos and videos from your phone and computer. This will be very enjoying.
DAY 16. Email imbox
This is a lot of work, I know but ones you finish will be easier to handle. And also you gonna save more space.
DAY 17. Hobby supplies
To have a hobby is simply food for the soul. For example, if you love to drow and the colouring, it is possible to need to sharpen your pencils or to replace staff and clean the oldest ones.
DAY 18. Sentimental Items
You may have a lot's of things in your house. The easy way to step into minimalism is to ask yourself "Does this item spark joy" answer with honesty and if not you can be sent to the charity because What does not spark joy for you can spark joy to someone else. You can also do the same thing with holiday decorations.
DAY 19. Your Car
Clean your car if you have one. When have you checked your trunk last time? Believe me, you will be surprised how much space actually you have.
DAY 20. Your Mind
I left the best part to be the last one because when you have an enjoying environmental and you organise all your stuff your really can thing about yourself. Make a cup of tea, sit comfortably in your favourite corner and reflect on yourself. Be happy that you have finished this process and plan another one or simply just organise your mind stuff.
I hope you enjoy the article and if you really practise this let me know how was your experience. Feel free to personalise your minimalism concept daily routine.
