These days, it feels like more people than ever are interested in slowing down, simplifying, and pursuing a minimalist lifestyle.
Be as specific as possible. The more clarity you have about why simplicity is important, the easier it will be to stay focused and motivated.
For example, if you want to spend more time with your loved ones, what’s a simple way to achieve this? Could you leave work 10 minutes earlier? Or get pizza one night a week?
The more you appreciate what you already own, the less you’ll need new things to satisfy you. Creating a regular gratitude practice is a great way to get started.

A quick tip that will stop clutter from entering your home: Before you buy anything new, decide exactly where it will live. If you can’t picture where it will go, then don’t buy it!
