My first steps to minimizing.
Starting today, 1 November 2016, I am going to start playing the Minimalist Game.
Here’s how it works…
Find a friend or family member: someone who’s willing to get rid of their excess stuff. This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day.
It’s an easy game at first. However, it starts getting challenging by week two when you’re both jettisoning more than a dozen items each day. Whoever can keep it going the longest wins; you both win if you can make it all month. Bonus points if you play with more than two people.
For the month of November, I will be playing this game alone. #minsgame
Don’t get me wrong, I am not a hoarder…but do believe that I have held on to a lot of things, “just in case”.
