Sarah, I love how you say that are efforts do not always have to be perfect. Having to get it right and perfect at all times can and does interfere with my lifestyle changes and choices. As long as I TRY and show up no matter what every day, I will embrace daily and committed minimalism.

Boy, do I agree with you on tidying. It goes along with “if it only takes 1-2 mins, do it now” mindset. I have my own set of rules that simplify tidying. I printed this out in my favorite font, and taped it in the kitchen. “Rules of the house” If you bring it into the room, take it out of the room. If you drop it, pick it up. If it’s empty, throw it out. If you make a mess, clean it up. If it’s a dirty item, put it in the sink or the hamper. When you’re done with something… If it’s a blanket, fold it up. If it’s a glass or a dish, put it in the sink. If it’s a game, put it away.

I may never qualify as a minimalist (I love my books!), but I do need to "declutter" other areas of my life, and commit. I used to have goals, but a few bad job experiences has left me feeling directionless.
@AbundantlyMinimal

I totally understand how certain jobs and experiences can pull us away from our main goals. Give yourself grace and maybe consider working on a very small decluttering project to make some progress and give yourself more of a sense of direction 💕

I think one main thing especially that you kept repeating is definitely key for people to grab hold of--"everyone has the same 24 hrs in a day" (although there may well be special circumstances. That idea is really what started me on my growth journey out of depression and overwhelm, not being my creative self anymore (because I "didn't have time" to paint, etc. with kids and a mess everywhere). I'm still on the decluttering/developing good habits part of my journey, which I share over on my channel, but I started listening to productivity podcasts and channels like yours, to see how people made time for hobbies, etc. I think your minimalism 101 is definitely a great collection of tips for those who want to improve their lives.

About the DVD thing, there are certain movies that I love and have watched over and over, those DVDs I keep. They usually fit in one case. But I also love to watch movies. I don't need to get that DVD to watch it when I have a streaming service. But I can buy that DVD to watch it and give it away to someone that can't afford a streaming service. Also, what if a streaming service goes out of business or goes up in price or changes what is offered. Just some thoughts on still buying DVDs.

I’m often tweaking things to make them faster, simpler, more efficient and easier to deal with. (Or at times just making them look more cute or homogenized or cohesive etc). ESP around cooking, cleaning and chores...Bcuz I don’t like doing most of them or feeling like my whole life is just a series of constant chores or worrying about so many chores I didn’t do. Lol. I’m finding it fun tho. It makes me feel proud...like I’m some kind of clever inventor or something. 😅😅
