    About this ebook

    The book is more of a motivational text than instruction manual discussing the themes of minimalism according to a relatable context. It breaks down 50 ways of reducing clutter within your life grouped according to four categories. These are:


    Mindset or perspective
    Implementation
    Social media themes
    Peripheral considerations



    All of these tools are meant to reduce and eventually eliminate clutter in your life from a mental position to the implementation and everything in between governing the life of an individual.



    The book encourages a lifestyle change from consumerism which has become a silent plague on the present society and shows ways of how to assimilate minimalism into your life until it becomes part of your habits. Minimalism is not encouraged as a goal but a continuous process because cluttering is oriented the same way. Clutter is also a lifestyle which entails glut and neglect. This book teaches how to be aware of your surroundings and keeping vigil on your mind and your residence.

      Introduction

      I want to thank you and congratulate you for downloading the book, Decluttering: 50 Minimalism Ways and Strategies to Declutter Your Home and Life. This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to reduce the clutter, minimize the belongings that you may have and provides a way to organize thoughts to result in a more fulfilling and simplistic lifestyle. Several barriers may prove inhibitory to minimalism, key among them, resistance to change. Change may be hard as we have become attached to routines and things. We allow our homes and minds to become storage spaces for every passing fancy and in the process, we get so busy trying to attain these objects that we end up not having time to enjoy that which we have already accumulated.

      The corporations can be afforded some of the blame but truth be told they are just doing what they were created to do. That would be to make sure the products are out of their shelves and in our homes. It does not matter what trick they use to distract or misdirect as long as they achieve their objective and they do not care about your general wellbeing. Once the truth of the last statement is internalized you can start to think about how to regain your life back from the very things that have kept you prisoner within your space for a very long time. It sounds like the logical thing to do by living with less considering it will mean less to clean, less debt which means less stress. Overall that would mean more energy and money to go around. That would imply that many people are actually ready to minimalize but they usually get stumped by the next step which is where to begin. Then you end up with several individuals who are of the mindset that they can and should survive with less but they are literally trapped by everything that they have. This leads to being overwhelmed and defeated by the very idea. The journey of de-cluttering needn’t be as hard as most would make it out to be.

      Minimalism is the absolute opposite of consumerism whose philosophy is to entertain yourself with anything that you would
