I often use the word minimalism and sort out Replaceable. Of course they are different, but still connected.
Tidying up focuses on getting rid of surface-level possessions. Minimalism helps us discover how little we actually need.
Minimalism is better in my opinion, but few people can transition to having less possessions without some sort of elimination along the way.
No matter what you want to call it or how much progress you want to make, if you’re ready to make the effort to clear your home of unwanted possessions, you’ll love the change.
Here are 23 things you can remove from your home.
1. Unused or old power cord and charger
2. Extra hangers taking up space
3. Worn out or unused shoes
4. Old towels and linens
5. Games/puzzles with missing pieces
6. Old and expired medicine
7. Magazines and newspapers read
8. Expired food in the refrigerator or pantry
