#LessIsNow #MinsGame Day 28

Sun, 28 Feb 2021 15:08:00 +0000

Day 28 of the “Minimalism Game“. That’s 389 items, but since it’s the last day of the month I threw in an extra 11 to bring the total up to a nice round 400. If you’re curious to see how the whole month went [view the Tag][1].

What did I learn in the course of getting rid of 400 physical items? Mostly that I had a lot of tech and misc wires/cables 🙂 but also that it wasn’t so bad. Looking around there’s definitely more to purge especially if we add in more family/kids items, but that’s for the whole family to decide on. For now I prob just need to move on to a shredding or burn party for old docs.

If you did the #LessIsNow #MinsGame challenge in the past, this last month, or are thinking about it for the future, drop a message in the comments. I’d love to hear your story.

#LessIsNow #MinsGame Day 1

Mon, 01 Feb 2021 22:12:41 +0000

The new Less is Now documentary on Netflix reminded me of the “Minimalism Game“, and since Feb is the shortest month 😀 I thought I might give it a try.

No idea if I’ll be able to make it an entire month (even a short one), but any journey begins with the first step… Or in this case the first item shedd…

They were super comfy but haven’t worked or used for over a year…
