It is not easy to clean out your garage, it is not easy to go through your clothes… so just spend 10 minutes a day getting rid of your crap. It is amazing how many clothes we all end up with. I am taking a load to goodwill today. I still have too many to fit on my boat, but I figure at that point most of my winter clothes and long pants/jeans will go to my parents house… you don’t need much floating around on a sailboat. That time is not coming soon, but it is good to prepare. You don’t have to get rid of everything you own to be more minimal, you can start with that garage this weekend. Here is some wisdom from another minimalist site:
A Minimalist’s Train of Thought
Less money spent means more money saved
More money saved means the longer you can live in financial peace and security
Financial peace and security comes from owning less
Less stuff owned means less to carry around, move or have to travel with
Less responsibility for your stuff also means less maintenance and more time
The more time you have, the more relaxed you will feel
The more relaxed you are, the less you will care about stuff
If you care less about stuff, it means you’ll care less about image
If you care less about image, you will care more about experiences and memories
If you care more about experiences and memories, you will be happier with less
If you are happier with less, you’ll never want or need for more
The less you want or need for more, the more you will feel free
