Design your space with purpose.
Place
People have tendencies to acquire, rent or buy the biggest m2 of space their wallets allow them. So they have space for activities, hobbies, people, parties or to feel air and not being squeezed.
Spacious place is giving us possibilities. It makes space for thoughts. Empty space gives us space for creativity.
Story of Items
Then people fill space with items. And more items. And more items. Stuff is filling out corners, wardrops and cupboards.
People buy more new modern items.
People inherit old items from all around family.
People get items as gifts. Some wanted and some not.
The Space is filled with stuff. Items conquare human feelings through memories. Items become reminders. It's their immunity against being thrown away.
With the time they get covered by the dust and newer items. They are quietly lost and forgotten. However they still have the power. Small pieces of power over their human. They own their human and he has to take care of them.
Powers of items
- Help us
- Improve our lifestyle
- Create comfort
- Inspire us
- Save time
- Carry our memories
- Cost money when acquiring
- Cost money when storing
- Take space
- Create emotinal dependence
- Take time to take care of
- Distract us
For every item you can get the final power.
You are giving the values. You decide what really matters.
In the end minimalism is about intentionality not deprivation.
