Minimalism: How Much is Enough? | Rose Lounsbury - E68

Rose Lounsbury is a keynote speaker, an Amazon bestselling author, simplicity coach and the still-sane mom of triplets. She helps overwhelmed people create open spaces in their homes, their workspaces, and more importantly in their minds by letting go of the excess stuff that gets in the way.

 

In today’s episode, Rose teaches us why towels are a great place to start when we’re looking to simplify our lives. What do we do about gifts? Hobbies? Or everything that occupies our space, energy, or time? These questions (and more) are answered in this conversation between Rose and Jesse.

 

Key Takeaways:

• What is bimodal spending? And how can you apply it?

• Don’t be afraid to spend on the things you really care about (and cut out what you don’t).

• How to decide what's useful to you and what’s beautiful.

• How to be a better gift giver and receiver. 

• How to pay attention to mental patterns that may be cluttering our minds.

• Start with decluttering the physical space, and then carry on to the mental space.
