Goodbye, Toys


It is another Sunday with the kids. As I need to meet a buyer in the late afternoon (to sell away one of my clutter), I decided to let my kids sort out their toys.

I told them to sort out their toys into 2 main categories:

  1. Toys that they still want to play with
  2. Toys that they already outgrown and no longer has any joy in owning them
I told my daughter she can choose to sell it away or donate it to charity.

She can then use the proceeds from the toys she sold to buy useful stuffs or to use the money for experiences that she would like to enjoy.

So today we have achieved 3 objectives:
  1. Own lesser toys
  2. Make some money for future use
  3. Blessing for the less privileged ones

One year after minimalism I still remember the first time when I was being introduced minimalism was around August 2016. As I couldn't find much videos about minimalism on YouTube, I started posting about become minimalist in Singapore on YouTube in August last year.

Let It Go!

You have to let it go! Letting it go is never easy. It is easier said than being done . I can totally connect with you. The same kind of feeling when I first let go of my kids and placed them in infant care and child care center. Few things that came to my mind: "Will they be well-taken care of? Will they fall sick easily? Will those care givers ❤️ them as much as I do?" I was so worried!  "But sooner or later I got to let them go, its just a matter of time!" This was what my subconscious was telling me! Well, same goes for stuffs that we keep holding on to them! We always tell ourselves " Just in case we need them in the future." However, years have passed and those stuffs were still sitting in the corner collecting dust! So what can be done? Well, the truth is - if you cling on to those things which doesn't really matter to you, you won't be able to focus on those few that truly matter . Therefore

Why Most Choose To Be A Hoarder?

Have you ever wondered why do people hoard? Perhaps it all started from our fore parents? Most of them migrated to a new country with nothing and they tend not to take things for granted. To them every stuffs are valuable. However, over time as we become more and more well to do, our habits still follow. We still have the tendency to want more stuffs (especially if it's FREE) But, have you ever thought about your precious limited resources; TIME? It takes time to clean them, to tidy them or organising them etc. Basically, hoarding can be broken down into 3 symptoms : Excessive collection of valueless stuffs Inability to get rid of things Inability to organise stuffs Are you able to identify your symptoms? Also, hoarders can be identified in these 2 main categories: Impulsive hoarders (they have the tendency to buy things they don't really need) Worried Keeper (they keep things for future use but never comes in handy) Are you one of them?
