I've started a 30 day declutter challenge where I spend at least 10 minutes a day decluttering. I've been subscribing to Leo Babauta's Sea Change http://seachange.zenhabits.net/ for a while but haven't until now seriously taken the challenge to fearlessly declutter. Leo's blog is at https://zenhabits.net/archives/
Leo's main focus is mindful living and he embraces a wide range of topics such as mindful meditation, minimalism, living with purpose and so on.
The "BEFORE" view - this is not pretty. Where did all this stuff come from?
I'm starting here with my desk - under my desk, on top of my desk, in the sideboard and bookshelf.
There's a lot around at the moment about inspiring a more minimalist lifestyle. One of the current top picks trending on Netflix is Minimalism: A Film About the Important Things http://minimalismfilm.com/watch/ which presents a good summary of the main ideas and aspirations about a more minimalist lifestyle: to live a more meaningful life with less. I love their slogan: Love people, use things. The opposite never works.
It's the 1st of February so let's see how I go. A new month, a new challenge.
