If you are looking to reduce your things to a more manageable size- there are some digital products out there that save you from having to store the physical items in your home. Here are our top picks…
Streaming services: Instead of having rows of DVDs or Blu-Rays lining the shelves of your space, you could switch to a streaming service like Netflix, Apple TV or Now TV meaning you have all the TV shows and movies you could ever want to watch at your fingertips without the bulk of the boxes and discs.
A Kindle: Buy one of these and you will never have a pile of ‘to read’ books next to your bed ever again- nor will you have to designate an area of your home to hold the books you want to keep and re-read.
The Readly app: If you are subscribed to a lot of magazines that get delivered through your door or regularly buy a selection when you go shopping- why not swap to the Readly app? All of your favourite magazines are available to you digitally- including back issues- all for one monthly sum that you can access on your I-pad or phone.
A digital photo frame: Rather than printing out all of your pictures and putting them into albums that no one ever looks at- why not scan them all or load ones from your phone onto a digital photo frame? Your beloved memories will be available for everyone to see when they come around and visit you and they might even spark some conversation.
Spotify: If you have a lot of CDs lying around the house- subscribe to the Spotify app for a monthly sum and add all of the songs from your albums onto a tailored play list. As long as you have your phone with you- you can enjoy your favourite music at any time.
There is no need to complicate matters- keep life simple- happy minimising!
