Minimalism And Self-Betterment
Practical minimalism goes beyond aesthetics to foster self-betterment. Ultimately, seeking minimalism is a process of value clarification, editing out the unnecessary, and refining.
Minimalism can help you stay committed to lifelong learning as it consists of identifying your core personal values and using them to guide your focus. This, in turn, affects time management, the projects you work on, and the learning opportunities you pursue.
Prioritize Your Projects
Prioritizing lets you better choose the content you consume and the opportunities you seek so you can foster your core values more effectively.
Once you start pursuing productivity, efficiency-killers like TV, social media, and mindless consumption are likely to be the first to go.
Pursue Relevant Learning Opportunities
Know what you have a true passion for. Many of us are guilty of bouncing across hobbies which takes time away from activities we are truly good at or passionate about. This is not meant as discouraging exploration, but as encouraging passion.

Reasons For A Minimalist Closet
- Tidier closet: you won’t have to dig through items you don’t wear
- Increased confidence: if all your clothes are your best, you feel good no matter what you put on
- More time and money: being satisfied with your wardrobe means shopping less so you can use your time and cash on more important things
- Positive environmental impact: by investing in long-wear clothing, instead of fast fashion, you help prevent waste.
Minimalist Vs Capsule Wardrobe
Capsule wardrobes are a subsection of minimalist wardrobes that limit how many items of clothing you buy each season. Most capsule wardrobes have 30 items or less.
Minimalist wardrobes are more flexible. There is no set number of items as long as you wear all of them – and they bring you joy.
