I started to get into minimalism after looking at my house, I spent so much time just dealing with “stuff” that I didn’t even really want. I wanted my time back, not only from dealing with it all but the mental burden before getting it out of my life.

The Reddit sub has really helped me learn new techniques to deal with it and prevent it from happening again.

Just to call out, if I’m having trouble getting rid of something that’s sentimental… I take a picture of it. If I like something in a store, I can appreciate it at the store as a nice object but don’t need to have it.
