How to live like a minimalist!

 

Do you really need  six pairs of nail clippers , enough paper clips  to supply three primary schools ,  three spatulas , six jugs , three mascaras , ten pairs of jeans , three rolls of sticky tape , three hammers , two mallets ...........no ?  Me neither but that's what we've probably kept just incase . Incase we've got thousands of presents to wrap , or we need to cut all the toenails  of all the people in the village at the same time , or maybe our spatulas will spontaneously combust and we may need a spare . It's utter lunacy, but if you're anything like me you're likely to have most things in duplicate , just incase .
I believe it was The Minimalists http://www.theminimalists.com/  
who pointed out that most things can be replaced within a few hours for less than a few quid if it is an emergency . I have been known to ask the neighbours to open a can of kidney beans for me when my can opener broke for the umpteenth time , so we can get by if we have to.
Let go of  all your "Just incases" , when was the last time just incase happened ?  And if it does it's more likely to be your washing machine which combusts rather than your spatulas ! 

Are you drowning in clutter , drop us a line below if you feel you need some motivation to get started on your decluttering journey we'd love to chat !
