BACKPACKS & BOXES
OUR JOURNEY FROM A FULL HOUSE TO A BACK AND A FEW BOXES.
It’s not about rid of everything it’s about only having what you need.
After finishing our first major project Grantbrook. We had to reduce from a three bedroom house, down to a few boxes, our personal items and sports equipment. Then from backpacks and boxes to Wind Dreamer our sail boat. Now we plan for our eventual move to Pelee Island, a different type of minimalist life.
Here is how we did it. Every step was an accomplishment of its own.✅
STEP 1: Find a new home for furniture. (We gave a lot of ours away to people moving into larger spaces). 🏠✅
STEP 2: Reduce the amount of clothes that we owned. (We reduced our clothing by half).👗👖👜✅
STEP 3: Identify essentials. Box them up together as you use them everyday. Leave them in the boxes when not using them. They are the most used items. 📦✅
STEP 4: Reduce your clothing again. Wash all of it. Keep two laundry bins one for socks and underwear and one for everything else. After one month, what ever items you use keep them, get rid of the rest.✅
STEP 5: Organize what you do have. Make a list. Identify when you purchased it and where. Record the value. How do you feel about it. Review it. Record warranties and recalls. Any bit of data will be helpful in the future( does it have accessories). 📝✅
STEP 5a: Lay everything out on the floor. Make the list. Then purposely think about where the item will live.📝 ✅
STEP 6: Appreciate the process, it is therapeutic and will save time and stress later.👩⚕️✅
STEP 7: Find purposeful homes for your items. Should be logical and practical.
