Tidiness and minimalism in everyday life

In short: Less ownership means less tidying, searching and decisions. Minimalism does not mean doing without at any cost but consciously keeping what is useful or brings joy.

In more detail: Order relieves the mind and saves time.

In detail

• Decluttering: By category (clothes, books, paper), not room by room.
• Questions: Have I used this in the last year? Do I really need it?
• Give away, sell, donate: Pass on used things instead of throwing them away (nachhaltig-einkaufen-und-konsumieren).
• A fixed place: Every item has a place; put it back after use.
• One in, one out: New things replace old ones.
• Paper: Archive digitally, observe retention periods (aufbewahrungsfristen-für-belege).
• Habit: Ten minutes of tidying daily (gewohnheiten-aufbauen-und-aendern).
• Benefit: Less stress, more space, lower spending (haushaltsbuch).
