Less is liberation.

-Christine Platt

 

Most of us love the feeling of a fresh start whether it’s a new year, month, week, or simply a new day, and with that feeling of a fresh start sometimes comes a desire to get things in order.

Maybe it’s that closet or dresser that has stuff way back in the back that you know you haven’t touched or worn in forever. You know good and well, just like I do, that you probably won’t ever wear it again.

There are plenty of social media accounts, books, and TV shows that offer tips, tricks, and strategies aimed at helping us get organized. If you’re anything like me, you’ve tried most of them.

Let’s be honest, those tips, tricks, and strategies probably worked at first, but over time you probably found they weren’t sustainable. And that closet or dresser gradually filled back up with stuff and you wondered why you keep buying stuff that you never wear or use.

Well, Christine Platt’s book, the Afrominimalist’s Guide to Living with Less, may offer a refreshing approach to decluttering that may help you get things in order.

In this episode, I share six takeaways from the book and, of course, share a few personal stories about my journey into Afrominimalism.
