Reddit reviews The Joy of Less, A Minimalist Living Guide: How to Declutter, Organize, and Simplify Your Life

I've really enjoyed "The Joy of Less" and "The life-changing magic of tidying up". I find that when I have less clutter IRL, my mind feels less cluttered and it's easier to stay focused on my goals.

Home:

• Don't iron. Ever. In fact, don't own an iron.
  
• Dry t-shirts in coat hangers (unless you have a dryer, obviously...). No folding required.
  
• Clean less often. Seriously. Simply vacuuming every once in a while will keep your place looking pretty spotless. There's no need to mop the floor every week unless you have pooping pets or pooping children.
  
• Declutter. Get rid of everything you don't need. I can recommend this book to help you get started.
  
  Groceries:
  
  
• Have them delivered if possible, depending on where you live. It's especially useful to have vegetable packs delivered. I'm quite fond of the "random fruit & veg" variety. It's basically a mix of everything. Sometimes recipes are included for lesser known vegetables (salsify anyone? om nom nom!).
  
  Edit: formatting fuckup

The Joy of Less. Its not a very good book i think. But its a good introduction to minimalist living.

This is great! Good job! I also am doing the same thing, I have taken out about 2square meters of stuff ( donated, gave and trash.) I am reading The Joy of Less and reading this sub's content as much as I can. I love how I am getting more streamlined. One thing I like about that book is she talks about getting quality. One in One out. So you slowly have less but better things. Less books, but better books, less shirts but better shirts. I enjoy that a whole lot!
