One community or trend I & # 39; s interesting what you have to connect with when you are connected with when you have curtain one. I have raised by minimalists and have always been pretty subconsciously minimal, but now I want to wake up to more possibilities with it.
I think everyone has a few things that stand out as a few things that stand out as things we seem to collect, but not get our use out of. This may motivate us to part I already have a fan of the buyerarchy of needs pyramid and would love to recreate it as a piece From base to top, the buyerarchy is: use what you have, borrow, swap, thrift, make, and finally buy .
These are the things I show that I collect and do not get optimal use of.
Crafts
Once decided to clear my palette. I decided to clear myself more than a moment. I 've been the crafts in queue, I will put all my creative energy into writing because it takes up little space and afterwards my career!
Books
I am new moment who has not had a chance to read a chance to read regularly the books I accumulated. Instead of using I credit cards on books as I usually do as a treat for myself, I & # 39; m going to read what I have and turn my points in for cash reward instead. If I'm interested in skimming a book on a topic on a whim, there are many many free and inexpensive books offered on Google Play.
Jewelry
Jewelry does not take up a lot of space, but it is encourage me to buy some jewelry lovers may have big pieces that go with everything, but not me! Over the years I made it small If I can not incorporate them more into my wardrobe, I am going to donate them and pair down to the most versatile and interchangeable pieces.
Clothes
With a changing body, pregnancy to postpartum, my wardrobe has expanded and not in a good way. Torn tank tops, ugly dresses, ill-fitting pants, and leggings and sweatpants with holes in them. I finished breastfeeding. When I go into my abundant, yet organized closet, I try on two pieces before I 'm satisfied with the fit, look, Anything I am not absolutely sure I should toss will go to a go into a Rubbermaid bin in another closet to be taken out and evaluated another season.
My Child & # 39; s Toys
After reading about Montessori methods, I understand the importance of not having too many toys that focus on skills associated with one or few age specific toys. It also contributes to a messy house and safety hazards, so to contribute to a different room. It 's more to pleased when my son has 3 age appropriate toys in each room that I can sit down and show him how to use. It' s more peaceful for all of us.
What other things do you have an overabundance of? What other things are you make make, tools, movies, cords and remotes, canned food that never gets circulated or boxes "what might come in handy!". What things are you consuming that can be cut From your budget to provide you a savings cushion or vacation? Some of these things might include coffee and lunch purchased outside the home, eating out in general and Hulu / Netflix / Cable.
