You can still keep what you use and love.
Having less stuff makes you choose quality over quantity.

You will become more careful when spending money on buying things because you don’t want to waste money and bring unnecessary items to clutter your home.
You may even want to reuse or repurpose the things at your home.
Just like repurposing a glass jar instead of buying a new vase.

And I got rid of a lot of unnecessary items and duplicate utensils as I don’t want them to clutter my space.
But if you’re a baker and obsessed with cooking, baking makes you happy and you enjoy the cooking process, you might be upset with keeping just a few kitchen tools and only one cookie sheet.
I use minimalism as a tool to help me work more efficiently.
My main focus is to streamline each area of life and get rid of unnecessary stuff so that I can make my life easier and less stressful.

I found that my cooking ‘style’ has changed. I got rid of old appliances that I no longer use. I also got rid of duplicate appliances and only kept things that are multi functional.
I never buy slacks or skirts unless they are neutral colored. The same rule is for my shoes.
Unfortunately (or fortunately) I love to sew. I am trying to deplete my stockpile of fabric. I already completed two Christmas gifts in the sewing room by November 6th.
Hi Linda, thanks for stopping by! Handmade gifts are always the best. Keep the hobby you love! Being a Minimalist, we’ve to enjoy our life to keep the stuff that we love and use. I don’t do sewing but I love beading. I don’t do it very often now, but still keeping those craft supplies. They make me happy all the time.
