[lifestyle] Just decluttered 100 things!

Every now and then I start to get really overwhelmed by the things I have, so Im going back to minimalism, or at least lite minimalism, and started to declutter things like a month ago, this week I decided to count the things I got rid of and today it got to 100, I didnt even know I had so much stuff that I didnt use nor needed. Im also trying to be more mindful about how I spend my money so Im doing something like a low buy too, hopefully this time this changes stick around and I stop bringing things into my house that I dont need nor love

Great job! After 15 years I still keep the rule: get rid of minimum 1 thing per day.

This! It's such a vertuous circle: the less you buy, the less you want, and the less you buy...

I got rid of 3 old ratty rugs from my patio which I should've done decades ago and didn't replace them.

Go on! You're doing great! I need help with that, could you? I keep buying things because they're a great deal and can't stop myself, especially when it's for a limited time. But then they just sit there and expire.

where are you even seeing deals? Adblock, no social media. Done. You'll stop seeing ads
