Additt to last post

For some reason I felt like I really wanted to talk about the idea of wastage when switching to minimalism.

So, here are my thoughts:


  • Things taking up space and time and hassle and that are of burden to your life have a negative value. 
  • Discarding absolute junk, and donating the rest as an act of charity, is good. Sell items that still have some monetary value if you desire.
  • Once youve done your initial purge, you shouldn't unnecessaarily over-consume to the same extend you have been before. This reduces life-long net waste.
  • If you do bring new things into your house that align with your aesthetics, try and purge the same number of items.
  • When you do purchase "stuff", you are more likely to do it intentionally, thus minimising waste of money, time, landfill etc. It is much easier to do this when you have less other stuff and therefore you know what you do and do not need.
  • You are less likely to duplicate purchases as you already know exactly where everything is.
I think that was it.
