minimalism
About us
An open, user owned community dedicated to the philosophy of minimalism and the minimalist way of life. All types of posts are allowed, as long as they are relevant to the topic of minimalism.
Rules
1. Be honest with yourself and others.
The goal is to develop yourself personally and as a community. Seriously, if you’re not honest with yourself and pretend to be someone else, you’re not going anywhere. The first step to progression is acceptance, isn’t it?
2. Be polite to others and respects each others opinions.
Your freedom ends where somebody else's begins. Remember that there are people that may see things differently than you.
3. Keep it theme-oriented, up to date and relevant.
In general, all types of contributions are allowed, but the relevance to this community must always be evident and presented openly by the contributor. Posts that do not meet these requirements will be removed after a public warning.
4. Use self-moderation measures first before reporting.
This community is fundamentally built upon freedom of speech. Since everyone understands minimalism differently and we do not want to exclude any kind of content a priori, we appeal to the individual users to block/mute posts or users who do not meet their requirements. Please bear this in mind when filing a report

I started to get into minimalism after looking at my house, I spent so much time just dealing with "stuff" that I didn't even really want. I wanted my time back, not only from dealing with it all but the mental burden before getting it out of my life.
The Reddit sub has really helped me learn new techniques to deal with it and prevent it from happening again.
Just to call out, if I'm having trouble getting rid of something that's sentimental... I take a picture of it. If I like something in a store, I can appreciate it at the store as a nice object but don't need to have it.
