ELI5: minimalism
// explanation
What is minimalism?
Minimalism is like having only your favorite toys instead of a huge toy box you never use [2][3]. You keep the things that make you happy and get rid of everything else that just sits around taking up space [5].
Why does it help?
When you have fewer things, you spend less time cleaning, organizing, and thinking about your stuff [1]. Instead of worrying about all your things, you can focus on doing things that actually make you feel good [2].
What does it feel like?
It's like when your room is messy and stressful, but then you clean it up and suddenly you feel calm and happy [5]. With minimalism, you get that clean, happy feeling all the time [2].
How do you start?
Just pick one area—like your closet or toys—and keep only the things you really love and use, then give away or sell the rest [3][5].
