Minimalist Test: Strive for a Simplified Lifestyle for 30 Consecutive Days
Hello there! It's Sam Alderson here, and I'm embarking on an exciting journey – the Minimalism Game. This structured decluttering challenge, designed to help me reduce clutter over 30 days, is a great way to simplify my home and cultivate clutter-free habits.
The game works by getting rid of one item on Day 1, two items on Day 2, and so on, until Day 30 when I discard 30 items. By the end of the 30 days, I will have removed a total of 465 items from my home[1][2].
This challenge is perfect for those who find it hard to let go of possessions, especially sentimental items, as it provides a clear structure and daily goal. It also appeals to people who thrive on routine, accountability, and a bit of competition, making decluttering less overwhelming and more motivating[1].
I invite you to join me on this decluttering adventure as my accountability partner. Each Sunday, I will post photos of the items I've gotten rid of throughout the week on Instagram. My handle is @samalderson_ and you can follow my progress using the hashtag #samsmingame[3].
Of course, you don't have to participate but are more than welcome to follow along. If you'd like to receive notifications every time I post an update, you can sign up using the box on the left[4].
Remember, the goal is to stay happy while simplifying our lives. So, let's embark on this journey together, starting from the 15th of this month. I look forward to sharing my progress with you!
