4 Reasons to Lead a Simple Life with Less Stuff



Why are more and more people choosing to declutter, reduce items they own and become minimalists? I've been trying to declutter and practice minimalism. Upon decluttering, here are four reasons I've discovered which is keeping me going on the journey to being a minimalist.

1. Bright and Light. Looking at my decluttered dressing area, I feel light and happy. It now has the essential skin care products and a few pretty make-up items which I use once or twice a week when I'm in the mood for make-up. It brightens up my morning and all that I need are easily accessible.

2. Focus. Your mind will be clearer when your home and workspace is clear, clean and tidy. I keep my workspace most minimal of all my spaces. It has a monitor, my laptop dock, a pen holder, a desk phone, my laptop, a mouse and a keyboard. Yup, pretty minimal for someone like me who lived with clutter for years. I actually really enjoy being at my desk at work because it's so inspiring to work in.

Minimalism - 50 items

I've started featuring items I use daily or frequently which bring me joy or are a part of my interests and hobbies. I'm wondering if I can survive with 50 items. Clothes and cosmetics won't be included here as I will be reducing and taking care of them separately. These 50 items will include electronics, sports equipment, and general use items.

I will update this list as I go along so we'll know if I actually need more than 50 items.

Item2 - Sony Earphones

Item number 2 which came to mind is the Sony Earphones which I've been using for a few months now and loving em. There is less loss compared to my other earphones so the sound is a little louder. The music from the earphones is clear and has a nice stereo effect. There will be better earphones/headphones out there but I'm happy with the one I have now.
