      Minimalism - Ace McCloud

      Introduction

      I want to thank you and congratulate you for buying the book, Minimalism – The Life Altering Magic of Organizing, Simplifying and Decluttering Your Life.

      This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to organize your belongings, simplify your life, improve your relationships, and eliminate negativity and other unneeded things from your life.  You would be amazed at the negative impact clutter and unneeded and unhealthy things can have on your life.  These things can steal your motivation, leave you feeling depressed and ruin your productivity in a variety of ways.  This book will help you simplify your life so that you have less to worry about and are free to live an unfettered life of serenity, peace, and joy. 

      Minimalism is not just a technique to simplify your life.  It is not just a method to keep your house clean and tidy either.  The dictionary might say minimalism is a way of getting rid of the excess in life.  However, it is so much more than that; it is a way of living fully. 

      Of course, part of being a minimalist is to rid yourself and your home of things you really don’t need and never use.  Did you know that about 55 to 60 percent of your possessions are not truly necessary?  Minimalism methods can rid you of all that excess baggage.  In the process, minimalism creates space for peace, happiness, good health, and an improved mental state.  Decluttering, removing what you don’t need – from possessions to relationships – is a necessity.  It frees you from unnecessary distractions and encourages you to keep only what you love and what you need in order to not only survive, but also to thrive. 

      If you knew you had to move your household in a week, would you panic?  Most people would.  They would envision collecting tons of boxes and frantically packing up all their stuff in just a few days while begging others to help them with their massive collection of things that they have accumulated over the years. 

      On the other hand, a minimalist would have no problem moving in a week.  If you are a minimalist, you could pack what you need fairly quickly and easily.  The loose ends most of us have to manage would not even exist for them.

      Everyone finds it difficult to get rid of their stuff, myself included.  It is hard to put perfectly good things in the trash or to give them away and, heaven knows – even though you haven’t used something for over a year, you just might need it again 10 years from now.  Yet, take another look at that last sentence.  Doesn’t it sound ridiculous?  If you haven’t used something in four years, two years, even one year, are you really going to need it again?  Probably not. 

      Most of us live our lives at a pace that would rival time trials at the race track.  Many people work long hours, are in debt, are tired, stressed, and feel that they lack everything needed just to survive.  By contrast, a simpler life allows us to be content and consistent.  If you don’t have as much stuff to worry about or to fear losing, you will have more mental energy to do the things you like to do. When you keep only the things that bring you joy, you don’t need to work so hard to maintain them. 

      Some of the benefits of living as a minimalist are:

      That claustrophobic feeling leaves you, because everything is clean, neat, tidy, and everything has its place.  Your counters and tables are clear of clutter and you feel like you can breathe easier.

      You have more time to do things you enjoy, including hobbies and being fully present with your family.

      You save money because you avoid buying things you don’t need, no matter how pretty and shiny they might be!

      You have peace of mind, because you have less to worry about taking care of and the relationships you do have are worth it.

      You have less fear.  Buddhist monks have nearly nothing.  Everything they use is owned by the community.  Therefore, they have little fear.  If it all went away, they would lose little of substance.  If you don’t have much to lose, there is little fear of losing it.

      Here is a good example of the effects of minimalism.  John Doe is a single man in his 30s.  He is now the CEO of the architectural firm where he started out as one of the architectural draftsmen.  He has a five-bedroom house with a home theater and a game room, a four-car garage filled with cars, a swimming pool, and a tennis court.  John Doe might be in his 30s, but he is so overwhelmed with his life that he feels like he is 60.  He works long hours and makes more money than he can use. 

      John is old before his time.  He worries about losing everything he owns, yet it is impossible for him to sleep in five bedrooms simultaneously or drive four cars at one time.  He hates being the CEO of the company and wishes he could just go back to being a regular architect who designs buildings.  John is rather unhappy with his life, bet he sees no way off the treadmill. 

      After surviving a heart attack however, he decides things have to change.  He sells his house.  He sells all but his favorite car.  He quits his job.  John takes the money he has earned and starts his own company that designs and builds tiny houses.  He has even designed his own tiny house. He now lives in a space that contains a living and kitchen area, a bathroom, and a bedroom loft.  He has gotten rid of everything that is not useful or beautiful to him. 

      Most of the people John thought were his friends have abandoned him, now that he has very little, so only a few relationships remain.  These are the friendships that are valuable and lasting. 

      John lives a simple and happy lifestyle.  He goes to work when he wants and is able to pay his bills and buy the food he needs.  He coaches a little league baseball team – something he never would have had time for before – and he is making solid friendships and staying healthy. 

      He no longer fears that he will lose everything, because he has very little and much of what he does have can be easily replaced.  His health and his life have improved greatly. 

      Would you like to live like John?  Maybe you want a simpler lifestyle but don’t see the need to go as far as John took it. That is okay.  The great thing about minimalism is that you can choose how far you want go; you set your own parameters.  No one can make the rules for you. 

      If you get part of your home decluttered and decide to only end one relationship, your life will still become better. You don’t have to live in a tiny house or fit all your belongings into a few boxes.  The objective is to go beyond barely surviving to full-fledged living.  Whatever you do in the form of minimalizing must support this objective.

      I suggest you start by setting goals and establishing some timelines, outlining them in the form of objective statements.  Here are some examples of objective statements that define one person’s decluttering efforts:

      In the next two weeks I will clean out my closet and get rid of all the clothes I haven’t worn in a year.

      I will clean out my kitchen cupboards and declutter my countertops in the next four weeks.

      Within the next
