Journey to being a minimalist: #2

As we saw in Journey to becoming a Minimalist: #1 , decluttering your living environment and life can bring numerous benefits.

I came up with a method which was inspired by the trashing multi-tasking due to the superiority of focusing on a single task.

Using photo editor, I created a little image which contained the text “De-clutter”. Slapped on a radial gradient and added some glow to the font to make it look more appealing. Here’s a link to the guide I used and for convenience, I have attached a pre-prepared tag in-case I lose mine or anybody else wishes to use it.

De-clutter

Basically the idea is to print this tag and use blutac to attach it to a section in my living area. For example my left desk draw. When my “Throw away 3 items” day rolls around, I target this section of my environment and throw out any unnecessary items. Throughout the week or even month (depending on the size of the area) I try to organize this space until everything in it is a necessary possession and everything is in its place.

Once an area has been completely de-cluttered and organized, I remove the tag and reattach it to another area in my home, signaling my next prey.

    I believe what you wrote was very logical. However, what about this?

    what if you were to write a awesome post title? I am not saying your information isn’t good, however suppose you added a headline
    that makes people desire more? I mean Journey to being a minimalist:
    #2 – aleks spirkoskialeks spirkoski is kinda boring.
    You should look at Yahoo’s front page and
    watch how they create article headlines to get viewers to open the links.
    You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers excited about everything’ve
    got to say. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
