  • I have too much stuff, and have been considering whether or not to adopt elements of minimalism into my life, and as usual, in order to find a solution, I need to understand the scope of the problem, so I counted and took a photo of everything I own: every single thing I own... (sort of).
    This is the start of the new series, where I plan to learn about, and decide whether or not to implement minimalism and minimalist practices (even though I don't like the word "minimalism"; no reason, just rubs me the wrong way, lol).

    I have way too much stuff in general. It's not ok. So although, no matter what, I'm going to be doing some spring cleaning, I want to figure out if creating the processes and systems to support a minimalist lifestyle is sustainable and positive for me.
    This series is going to be sharing my journey of learning, building new habits, and setting expectations that I hope will have a positive ripple effect throughout all other areas of my life.
    I feel like I have a lot of clutter, both in my physical space, as well as in my head, and have, over the past few years, realized that one of the keys to happiness is simplicity; no drama, no complication. And although I think I'm on the right track, at least from a work and relationships perspective, I've always been someone who likes to collect things, buy things, and way-too-easily justify acquiring new things.
    Forget how wasteful it is from a personal financial standpoint, it's wasteful for society, and the world. Seeing dollar-store shelves really makes me wonder, who's making all this stuff? Who's buying all this stuff? How long is it used before it ends up in the trash can?
    I think, even from a selfish perspective, we should all consider the state of consumerism, how much money we spend, how to save money, how to stop shopping, to stop being wasteful, and simply considering and being conscious of everything we have, and how to build good habits. Knowing and being aware of everything we own might be a great place to start. It's where I'm starting and I can't wait to see what I learn!

    A very well made video! So amazing to see that you reduced your shoes even further to only five in your minimalist closet video (saw that one first).

      😂 I don’t want to talk about it lol... in all honesty, it was probably average 30 seconds per photo including getting each thing, positioning it, then snapping it, then putting it back... so 2/minute ~ 120/hour, 855 photos, so 7-ish hours, but I just kept the lighting and camera setup and spread it out over a few nights lol

    18 pairs of boxer briefs? Lol 40 pairs of Sox??? I have 200 pairs of boxer briefs and underwear variations and about 200 pairs of socks. I think it’s cause I’m a student athlete and I have a job …
