Minimalism isn’t about frugality, but about creating space in our lives. It provides us with the tools to stop clutter from entering our lives and to get rid of useless stuff to make room for us.

The more things we have, the more rooted, anchored or grounded we become to where we are.

We are usually handcuffed to our busy schedule and have no time for the little joys of life, like having a stroll to the nearby coffee shop.

We think we need things that we don’t really need, and by not buying such stuff we make room for things we truly need.

Our thoughts, especially the creative kind, are blocked by physical clutter.

• A clean, decluttered closet and desktop helps us free our mind and think clearly.
• Our mental space is cleared when we remove the excess stuff around us.
• Apart from creating room in our minds, space also frees up our time and makes us easy to sit and listen to a friend, or...

Creating space provides us with room to enjoy and savour our breaks, our moments of joy, allowing us to live and breathe in the present, not worrying about the next deadline.

2020 has shown us how important it is to upgrade our skills, which can be done in the comfort of our homes.
