First, a healthy shopping concept.
1, reducing unnecessary wave fees.
Minimalist life must first pay for the wave.
1) If you are interested in expensive items such as musical instruments and cameras, try them at the lowest cost first. 1 month later, make sure you can stick to it and start with higher equipment.
2) Before buying an item, see if there is a substitute. For example, an electric baking pan (which can be replaced by a pan) and an alarm clock (which can be replaced by a mobile phone).
3) Try not to buy souvenirs of tourist attractions, which are basically not necessities and of average quality.
Step 2 control shopping desire
Know your real needs, and don't let desire affect your choice.
1) Make a list before shopping, and then choose the target you need directly, so you won't want to buy everything.
2) You can wait a week to see what you really want, and you can think about whether you really need them during this week.
3) Never buy anything for the sake of giving it away or giving it a discount. You often lose a lot because of some small things.
4) Delete the sales number in the mobile phone. Most of them were bought in buy buy.
5) Don't see colleagues and roommates buy it, just buy it. You don't need that item, you just want it.
3. Carefully select items
When shopping, you should choose carefully, not blindly.
1) only buy "live" items, and you can meet the needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
2) heavy quality and light weight. If you want to live a minimalist life, the quality of the goods you buy is very important. Because if the quality is not good, it can only be made up by quantity, from clothing to daily necessities.
3) Only choose "basic skills" when purchasing goods. For example, the purpose of brushing teeth is clean and comfortable, so choosing a toothbrush only needs to meet these two points. Minimalist toothbrush with wide head and soft hair, without too many fancy packaging and chicken ribs. Fine and soft bristles can not only go deep into the teeth and brush cleanly, but also brush comfortably without stinging the gums.
Second, control the number of items in the home.
Minimalist life, of course, is the less things at home, the simpler it is.
1. Check your belongings again every month. Only one thing that has recovered its function is left, and everything else is disposed of.
2. If you have items that have not been used for more than half a year, you can choose to sell them on second-hand websites, but don't spend too much energy, because it takes time to bargain with buyers. You can also donate directly.
3, toilet paper, shampoo and other daily necessities, do not need to hoard a lot, go to the supermarket or buy online, you can buy it soon.
Third, environmental protection.
Society has always advocated environmental protection behavior, because not making garbage is also a minimalist life.
1, to reduce the waste of packaging, you can bring your own shopping bag to the supermarket.
2. Eat less take-away food and use disposable tableware as little as possible.
3. Bring your own bottled toiletries when staying in the hotel, and use less items provided by the hotel.
4. Try to bring your own cup when you go out, and buy less drinks and mineral water.
Fourth, there is little information.
A large amount of network information occupies the time of our daily life, so the minimalist life should also reduce some unnecessary information.
1. Turn off software notifications that you never read.
2. Screen Wechat business, insurance and advertisements in the circle of friends.
3. Unsubscribe from WeChat official account, which you never watch.
4. Quit the V-letter group that you never read.
If you want to live a minimalist life, you have to tidy it up and get rid of those unnecessary, useless and redundant before you can travel lightly.
