Minimalism is the current trend. Instead of buying more and more stuff, people are not only making do with less, but they’re embracing it. You may see people buying up these “tiny homes” and wonder what they are thinking. How can they possibly live in a home so small—especially with kids? They do it—and you can, too. It may take some time, but over time, you will find out that you can actually do more with less. If you find yourself asking, “how can storage units in Phoenix near me help?”, we have the answer. Understanding Minimalism Minimalism is not about depriving yourself. You can still have the comforts you are used to, like a smartphone, computer, internet, cable TV and food. Minimalism focuses more on discarding things you don’t need or use, like knick-knacks, clothes that no longer fit, boxes of paperwork or duplicates of the same item. If you are not sure if you will use something, put it in storage for a month or two. If you need to get it out of storage during that time, then keep it. If not, then toss it. Tossing Out Instead of Merely Organizing Think of the adage “Less is more.” When you have fewer possessions, you have less to worry about, and fewer items to clutter your home and your mind. Organizing what you have is not minimizing. Organizing is temporary and must be done over and over again. It requires time and money spent on storage organizers. It is not a solution. Discarding the items is the real solution. It is permanent. Once the items are thrown in the trash, they never come back. Many people have a problem with throwing stuff away. They are afraid they may need it someday. If this describes you, maybe a storage unit can help. You can “toss” the items in the storage unit. Then, set a date several months into the future. If you need an item, you can remove it from the storage unit. Once you reach the preset date, agree that any items remaining in the unit must be thrown out. Living With a Reduced Wardrobe Most people wear only 20 percent of their clothes 80 percent of the time. This means that the majority of your clothes are taking up room in your closet, and you are not even wearing them. Get back to basics. Throw out what you no longer wear. Think you might wear them again someday? Put them in storage and see what happens. You will probably never think about them again. When you do buy new clothes, only buy things that you absolutely love and see yourself wearing often. Don’t buy things simply because you love to shop.
