UPDATE I may not have described the Minimalism Challenge properly. On day 1 you get rid of 1thing, day 2 get rid of 2 things (over and above the 1 thing from day 1), day 3 get rid of 3 things (over and above the 1 item from day one AND the 2 items from day 2), and so on. You'll get rid of 496 items in a 31 day month.

Probably the hardest thing I had to do to make my tiny house dream a reality was downsize my lifestyle and possessions. Its definitely daunting and it can be hard to know where to start the process of getting rid of (lets be honest) most of your possessions 🤷🏻‍♀️.

In this video I share the things I did that worked for me. I love to set myself a challenge so I started with multiple rounds of the 30 day minimalism game    • How to Play the 30-Day Minimalism Game  .

I hope you find the video helpful. Remember that what worked for me may not work for you. Try a few things to find what works.

If you have any tips or tricks that you’ve used to downsize your belongings please share with the friends here.
