8 reasons to get rid of unnecessary things and become a minimalist

Less rubbish and obligations - you will surely like it. Thoughtless consumption is progressing in our society. We get a lot of stuff and can't explain why they are needed, why we have so many things. And then we drown in a pile of rubbish, afraid to part with the results of irrepressible consumption.

Accepting the principles of minimalism, you not only free your house of unnecessary things, but also make your life more conscious.

1. You do not even remember what you got rid of

When you just start getting rid of unnecessary things, you have a lot of questions: "Do I really do not use this thing?", "What if I need it?", "Once I'll want to use it...".

It seems to you that these questions and fears are quite rational, but in fact, once you get rid of the thing, you will immediately forget about it. Things that litter your life and make you wonder whether they are needed or not, are mostly so useless that your "one day" will never come.

2. Memories live in the mind and not on the shelves

It's so difficult to free the cabinets and shelves from dusty statuettes, photos and other things that are associated with pleasant memories.

You need to understand that memories live in your memory and do not depend on useless things that only litter your apartment. After all, if you suddenly lose these things, memories of pleasant times, favorite people and travel will not disappear anywhere.

So get rid of useless memorabilia. What do you get in the end? Clean shelves, more free space, in which it breathes easier and it seems freer.

3. Putting things to rights is not always the best solution

When you have a lot of things, you spend a fair amount of time on maintaining order. You arrange things in places, organize space and repeat it again and again.

The best way to organize your things is to get rid of most of them.

4. Your property overwhelms you

If your workspace is filled with unnecessary stuff, it constantly distract and suppress you. In a spacious empty room you will be able to concentrate much better and stay fresh and cheerful longer.

The more things you have, the more actions they require of you. You need to remove them, move them from place to place, organize and store them. It takes a lot of time.

5. You develop a view of consumption

In today's world, we buy a lot and consume a lot. Consumption is the engine of the economy and our behavior depends on it. An unthinking consumer always wants to buy some things and at the same time represents how his life will change after the next purchase.

But the truth is that purchases do not bring long satisfaction: once you have purchased one thing, you immediately want another and your house is filled with objects that you do not use.

6. You are less likely to buy discounted goods

When you buy something unnecessary at a discount, it seems that you are saving your money, because then this thing can come in handy. In fact it is unlikely you will need and you do not save, but simply throw out money.

7. You spend your time with PC more efficiently

Minimalism manifests itself not only in things, but in all other spheres of life, including work at the computer. Being a minimalist means removing all unnecessary things, something that you really do not need.

Working with one tab in the browser is a great way to increase efficiency. So you will win multitasking and will not be distracted by extraneous matters.

8. The "less is more" principle is really works

Clearing a place in your life and clearing your mind, you begin to understand why you need it. Useless things leave you. The fewer things that attract your attention, the more control in your life.

You spend less time, in your life there is less confusion and difficulties associated with consumption. Less unnecessary stuff, expenses, duties.

As a result, the aggregate of all these "less" gives you much more: more time, freedom and money. And you understand that "less" actually means "more."
