Reviewing the Minimize Challenge

Post Summary. Do You Have a Favourite?

During the past month, I have been challenging you to simplify your life by decluttering, minimizing – and choosing to live a life of intention.

This is the last day of the challenge. Hopefully, the posts, reflections and challenges have given you something to think about and provided some ideas that you will choose to apply in your home and your life. Some of the strategies here might be ones that you want to make your own and others you might find will not work for you and your family. I hope that the challenge will inspire you to make some changes to take control of your life and your stuff.

As a reminder, here is a list of the topics presented over the past 29 days.
