If you are looking to invest your time more wisely rather than waste it on stuff- minimalism could be for you- here’s how it can help you to save precious time.
Minimalism on Female First
You know where everything is: Gone are the days where you spend ages searching through piles of things and drawers full of goodness knows what. Everything has its place, so you know exactly where to go when you need to use something, saving you valuable time.
Dressing is much quicker and easier: If you sport a minimalist or capsule wardrobe, getting dressed becomes a dream because everything in there fits you well and is something you enjoy wearing. You no longer have to try on several different outfits to find out if they hang well on your body or if they make you feel uncomfortable- nor do you have to root through lots of items in order to find the one you are looking for. Time saved.
Cooking is simple: All the ingredients and tools you need to cook are easy to come by and all of the foods you own are in date and organised. Cooking becomes a pleasure rather than a chore because it starts out as a more relaxed experience rather than a hunt.
There are no more spring cleans, huge declutters or clear outs before Christmas: Minimalism is about little and often- keeping on top of the things that come into your home. By dealing with items bit by bit, you no longer need to set aside time for you and your family to do a big purge- leaving this time for more worthwhile pursuits.
Streamlined shopping: Many minimalists buy only as they truly need- which saves time by not browsing the shops on the high street or scrolling through your favourite shopping app for hours looking for inspiration to spend your hard-earned money.
You tidy and clean less: It’s simple- the less you own and have in your space- the less time it takes to clean it and reset it again. Who wants to spend hours cleaning anyway when you could be doing literally anything else?!
Decision making is no longer drawn out: When you know what you want to buy, what you are going to wear, how you are going to spend your time and what you are going to eat- you can focus on the decisions that actually matter. Don’t waste your time on the things that don’t.
