10 Lessons from 5 Years as a Minimalist » How EXTREME DECLUTTERING Changed My Life (95% is GONE!)

This week I am sharing ten big lessons that I learned after five years of minimalist. These are the things I WISH I would have known before I started extreme decluttering my entire home and got rid of 95% of everything we owned. While this messy to minimal decluttering transformation took a little longer than "expected" we are still very happy with the results! No matter if you are a minimalism beginner or looking for more advanced minimalism tips, there's info for every level here.
