View submission: Back to minimalism for sanity

View parent comment

If you want simple beginnings, Fumio Sasaki's "Goodbye, things" helped me to kick off the beginning - parting with at least few things each day, starting from junk/expired/broken things, then duplicates (you usually don't need to have many backup items for "what if I run out of them" - you can buy them then) and only then coming to actually downsizing belongings, parting with things that I don't really need, use or that I own for the sake of owning and showing off to others.

I appreciate this take. I usually get myself back into it by re-reading Marie Kondo’s first book, as that’s what first got me into it. That feels like a bit much to take on with all my current responsibilities, so I was looking for something just like what you suggested.
