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:

  1. Excessive collection of valueless stuffs
  2. Inability to get rid of things
  3. Inability to organise stuffs
Are you able to identify your symptoms?

Also, hoarders can be identified in these 2 main categories:
  1. Impulsive hoarders (they have the tendency to buy things they don't really need)
  2. Worried Keeper (they keep things for future use but never comes in handy)
Are you one of them?

Do you or anyone you know have changed to become a minimalist from a hoarder? Because old habits die hard.

Life As A Minimalist After One Year

Image
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. And because of that, I was connected with like-minded minimalists and most of us are now in a Facebook Group (This is a closed group as we want to keep it minimalist!), it keeps growing bigger day by day though! So how's life for me after a year of minimalism? Well, below are some of my thoughts and practices: I no longer buy physical books but rather loan or buy online (we do have digital library which we circulate books around) I own lesser clothes than a year before (worn and torn clothes are being use as rags instead) I still listen to The Minimalist's Podcast to learn more about minimalism Those who knows that I'm a minimalist stopped buying stuffs for me (in...

Replacement

Having more with less When I have started journey to the less , I was all alone by myself. I didn't expect there are so many people who are like me desiring to have more with less . Until lately, we managed to connect like-minded people together via social media like Facebook and WhatsApp . No doubt that our group have grown, but each of us have lesser stuffs now as compared when we all first started. So as today topic is about replacement, therefore I would like to share one of the ways that works for me on the journey to minimalism. One good gadget for replacement for most of our clutters is our smartphone. And because of my smartphone, I no longer own or own lesser now for the items listed below (I will explain why too): Watches (my phone can tell me the date and time) Alarm clock (I can set alarm with my phone) GPS (I used to own a Garmin GPS in my car, now I don't need it because google map app replaced it) Car (I can now book for private car using ...

How I First Started

I first heard about the word " Minimalism " is through a writer named, Joshua Becker . After which I created a playlist named " Become Minimalist in Singapore " in my YouTube Channel . And during that point of time, what attracts me to find out more about minimalism is this phrase called " Less is More ". So how could you achieve more when you have less? Well, it may sounds ironic and abstract if you don't really get it at the first time. Ultimately, we are "conditioned" to believe that having more is equate to happiness since young . More toys, more dresses, more shoes etc. Anything that you can name it. However, ever since young as I grew up in a lower middle income family, though I have not much stuffs but I was really living a happy life. I enjoyed playing catching with my friends; playing marbles with my cousins etc. All these don't require much stuffs! Life was simple, we were happy even without much stuffs back th...
