Introduction

I want to thank you for choosing this book.

Do you want to lead a stress-free and happy life? Do you want to declutter your life, but you dont know where to start? Do you want to make time for things that matter, but cant seem to find any time? Do you want to reorganize your life to accommodate things that you love? If your answer is yes to all these questions, then this is the perfect book for you.

Minimalism and decluttering are about allowing what you love in your life. You do not have to focus on what is trendy or popular. Trying to fit into the ideal lifestyle, and showing off what they have, does not mean they are happy.

Minimalists have found that less materialistic thoughts are gaining them more in life. As you journey through sections one and two, consider the ultimate question - what do you value in life? By the end, you will see that what you have emphasized on is not what you hold dearest in your heart; rather, it will be the people, family and happiness that you learn to value above material items.

The primary principle of minimalism is quite simple - hold onto the things you love and let go of everything else. It is as simple as that. Once you can differentiate between the things that you hold dear and everything else, you can focus on things that you want. You need to understand that all the resources we have at our disposal are all finite. When you have finite resources, you need to make decisions regarding the ways in which you can use such resources. There are infinite ways in which you can use these resources like time, energy, money, focus and so on. The way you decide to use these resources will define your life.
