Become a Minimalist, With More Than Your Stuff



What do you picture when you hear about someone being a minimalist? I asked three people and they all had similar answers that summed up to this, 'someone who doesn't own much of anything.'

I'd like to broaden that definition a bit, because to me a minimalist is someone who can live a happy, fulfilling life, and enjoy more freedom, because they don't have, or desire, a whole lot of 'stuff' and 'time wasters' in their life.

Minimalists do not have clutter in their homes. Minimalists do not have clutter in their offices.

And minimalists do not have clutter in their lives.

Let's put 'physical stuff' aside and talk about other areas in your life in which minimalism can be a plus.

1) Social media. With social media being so prevalent, it's easy to get caught up in it all. For instance, it's great to have a lot of friends, but having a huge number of them on social media accounts can add to the 'clutter' that you have to filter through each day...especially when those 'friends' are people you hardly know. On top of that, there are so many different social media sites available. Being on all of them may sound fun, but can deeply cut into productivity in other areas of life.

* By all means, 'friend' those you're close to, but become more selective of the volumes of friends...who are really strangers...that you add to your list.

* Limit yourself to one social media site and/or a limited amount of time enjoying social media in your day.

2) Entertainment. My husband and I visited our friends' house for dinner one evening. After we finished our meal, we all decided it might be fun to watch a movie. We sat down in the living room, our friend picked up the remote, and began navigating through Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and HBO. My immediate thought? Thousands of movie options and four people deciding on them could potentially take an hour or more before we begin watching. We suggested they choose three of their favorite movies from their DVD collection, and we'd select from one of those.

* Limit your choices...in general. This goes for movie viewing options, to the number of outfits in your closet, to trying to decide between insurance companies. The more choices you have, the harder and more time-consuming it's going to be to decide...and the higher the chances of procrastination in doing so.

3) Email. Retrieve your email. Count how few of the email messages you receive are actually relevant to you. Most folks are constantly being flooded with junk that makes it extremely tedious and overwhelming to get to the ones they want or need to see.

* Use email filters to immediately identify spam and junk mail. This way, it automatically gets filtered into your spam and trash folders.

* Unsubscribe from the email lists of retail stores you never buy from. If you're leaning towards being a minimalist, you won't be buying from most of them anyway.

* Be mindful about giving your email address out to anyone and everyone. The fewer people/establishments that have your email address, the fewer junk email messages that will be pouring in.

* If the problem is just too big to manage, consider starting over fresh with a brand new email address. Then, only give the address to the people and establishments that really need to have it.

Leaning towards minimalism in all areas of your life doesn't mean you have nothing. It means you refrain from inviting anything into your life that makes it cluttered, chaotic, frustrating, or stressful...and you only allow in that which makes you comfortable and joyful.
