Stuffocation - Living more with less By James Wallman. I'd definitely recommend reading this book if you have an interest in minimalism, decluttering your life or environmental issues. I was given the book by a work colleague which is a bit ironic when I'm trying to get rid of 'stuff' so I've passed it on now. Thankfully, It's also available in audio format on audible UK. #bookgeek #audible #stuffocation #environment #sustainability #jameswallman #bookstagram #minimalism #book #experientialism #books #audiobooks

Nu ik veel minder TV kijk heb ik meer tijd om te lezen. Gisteren ben ik begonnen in Ontspullen van James Wallman. Dit boek sluit natuurlijk perfect aan bij bij mijn idee om 1 jaar niks te kopen.

Ik ben net begonnen dus ik kan je nog niet vertellen of het een boeiend boek is. Ik hou jullie uiteraard wel op de hoogte via dit blog.

When she enters a new home, Kondo says, she sits down in the middle of the floor to greet the space. She says that to fold a shirt the way everyone folds a shirt (a floppy rectangle) instead of the way she thinks you should (a tight mass of dignified envelope-shaped fabric so tensile that it could stand upright) is to deprive that shirt of the dignity it requires to continue its work, i.e. hanging off your shoulders until bedtime. She would like your socks to rest. She would like your coins to be treated with respect. She thinks your tights are choking when you tie them off in the middle. She would like you to thank your clothes for how hard they work and ensure that they get adequate relaxation between wearings. Before you throw them out — and hoo boy will you be throwing them out — she wants you to thank them for their service. She wants you to thank that blue dress you never wore, tell it how grateful you are that it taught you how blue wasn’t really your color and that you can’t really pull off an empire waist. She wants you to override the instinct to keep a certain thing because an HGTV show or a home-design magazine or a Pinterest page said it would brighten up your room or make your life better. She wants you to possess your possessions on your own terms, not theirs.

The Great Wake Up - Stuffocation and Tuning In.

The Great Wake Up – Stuffocation and Tuning In.

Hi there! This is my weekly update on how I’m getting on with The Great Wake Up!, experiments that aim to help us to ‘wake up’ to our lives. You can learn more about them here. Last week I was working on this experiment, labelled Stuffocation. The aim of this was to avoid instant yet short-lived gratifications through what some might refer to as ‘retail therapy'(!) and only spend money on food…

The Great Wake Up - Stuffocation - I won't buy anything beyond food and water

The Great Wake Up – Stuffocation – I won’t buy anything beyond food and water

This one definitely coincides with my decluttering goals of late. And I do buy quite a bit, too. I’m not a shopoholic and really detest materialism, but find I have really needs for things, such as facial serums, desk chairs, photos, etc. Not unreasonable by any means, but neither are they necessary. And as Chris says in his video, it’s about making room for the bigger things – relationships with…
