Packing and Minimal Living. - Mar. 15, 2024.

Packing for my move next week, I was surprised by the sheer volume of books I own. Although decluttering is crucial for an easier move, reading books helps calm my mind, making it challenging to decide which books to keep. The concept of living minimally is popular these days. While I recognize the benefits and strive to adopt this lifestyle, fitting my book collection into this minimalist mold is difficult.

A YouTube channel suggests that we need to make deliberate choices regarding our spending and saving habits. Since I wish to continue buying and reading books, I must prioritize and limit other expenses, like clothing and hobbies. Focusing on what truly brings satisfaction can lead us to a happier life.
