Minimalism goes beyond just physical possessions and tidying up. It encompasses all types of clutter, including mental, emotional, spiritual, and calendar clutter. The act of tidying up has less to do with minimalism than how we think. Setting boundaries in life is more important than following strict rules of tidying up. Minimalism is applicable to individuals of all lifestyles and family sizes.
The Minimalists talk about what minimalism has to do with normal, everyday subjects like friendship, pets, history, meteorology, and entertainment. Listen to all 2 hours of episode 386 on The Minimalists Private Podcast: patreon.com/theminimalists
