Minimalist Lifestyle Checklist

Simply + Fiercely

If there’s one thing I love, it’s a good checklist—especially when I’m about to take on a big project or lifestyle change.

Sometimes it’s just so nice to have someone tell you exactly what to do and what to worry about!

This is why I decided to put together this minimalist lifestyle checklist for you. This checklist is perfect for anyone just getting started with minimalism.

Minimalists know what matters most to them. They know their values and priorities and they choose to align their lives accordingly. This is their “vision” of minimalism and it fuels all of their life decisions.

DEFINE WHAT MINIMALISM MEANS TO YOU

Take a few minutes to think about all the areas of your life that need simplifying. I suggest you consider: Your home Your schedule Your spending Your meals Your relationships Your work/career

BRAINSTORM WHAT NEEDS SIMPLIFYING

Look at the area of your life that you’ve decided to focus on, think about your vision and ask yourself what’s the easiest way to make an impact? What one small step can you do today to move forward?

TAKE THE FIRST STEP

If you can declutter an entire room this weekend, that’s great—but if you can’t, that doesn’t mean that you’re failing or that you can’t do this. Consistency is more important than speed.

KEEP GOING—UNTIL YOU GET STUCK

Finally, I highly recommend that you set regular reminders to reflect on your progress—and perhaps more importantly, celebrate your wins! This is so important because this is how you create new habits.

REFLECT + CELEBRATE YOUR PROGRESS
