Minimalism is a huge buzzword, but what does it mean? And how can you apply it to your own rituals? In short, minimalistic living is a practice that involves freeing yourself from clutter—the less the better. The benefits speak for themselves, from improved quality of life to improved mental well-being. And fortunately, adapting this lifestyle is pretty easy to do!
By introducing minimalism to your routines, you can start to play around with how the practice can best be applied to your apartment. To help you along this journey, we’re sharing our favorite ways to gradually incorporate the minimalist lifestyle into your day-to-day cleaning responsibilities:
- Start by tackling visual clutter. It’s easy for newbie minimalists to get caught up in the clutter as they start to downsize their belongings. Starting with those visual piles of clutter—countertop messes, crowded bookshelves, etc.—is a great way to keep track of your progress and begin to reap the benefits.
- Sort through clothes and closets. Downsizing your closet is another great stepping stone for those sampling minimalist living. It’s a task that most people are familiar with and will get you used to the process of parting with things you no longer use.
- Clean one room at a time. The room-by-room cleanse will help structure your minimalist journey without overwhelming your schedule.
