Why Less Feels Like More
The Psychology of Fewer Choices
Research shows that overabundant choices create decision fatigue and anxiety. Minimalist living trims the menu so your mind rests, your priorities sharpen, and your energy goes where it truly counts. Share your experiences with choice overload below.
An Afternoon That Changed Everything
After a long week, I cleared one drawer: expired warranties, tangled cables, forgotten trinkets. The room felt lighter, but my shoulders felt lighter too. Start small, celebrate progress, and tell us what first space you’ll tackle today.
Redefining Enough
Minimalism asks, What do I use? What do I love? What supports my values? Create your criteria for “enough,” write it somewhere visible, and revisit monthly. Comment with your definition to inspire other readers on this journey.
