#1000 things

Hello! I am back after about two months of being barely active on here. I had to go to work for some time and then I was taking my final exams at school. I will try to post more from now ;)

The list seems to be long, but I got rid of not many items ;)

By the way, I want to mention that I make two kinds of donations. Things that are in very good condition I donate to various foundations and the things that are in worse condition (but still good quality) I put into containers for used clothing. I believe it is enough and even if the thing won’t reach new owner, they will be recycled properly. Textiles recycling is really crucial!

Greetings! 

This year I decided to get rid of 1000 things due to minimalism lifestyle. I am not really sure if I can do it but I will make my best to complete the challenge till 2021.

I feel strongly inspired by this youtube video, Marie Kondo’s programme and also I am really done with my parents cluttering our house all the time (okay, I have my share in it). Since I can remember our flat and now our cottage was full of needless things and to put it bluntly - garbage. 

I want to reduce the amount of my items but I’ll try convincing my mother to do the same (my father will not listen to me at all), but my chances are really… low.

I have already made list for things to get rid of (donate, sell or throw away if needed). 

I also encourage you to take part in it! Let’s declutter our homes together! Good luck!
