I am a lazy person and don't like doing housework very much.
But I don't have the financial strength to ask for help yet.
What shall I do?
Living a minimalist lifestyle can really reduce household chores by more than half.
The best minimalism is not getting addicted to throwing things, but reducing buying from the beginning.
So, every time I have to buy something, I ask myself: Will buying this thing increase household chores?
If possible, I would think twice before deciding not to buy.
For example——
·
1) I am no longer considering buying carpets, floor mats, etc.
My husband and I have both been planted with grass to lay a carpet in front of the sofa.
Plush, whether you step on it or sit on it, it must be very comfortable.
But just a small piece of carpet in front of the bathroom, I find it troublesome to maintain.
Laying such a large piece in front of the sofa would be even more troublesome.
I'm afraid it will be dirty, smelly, and full of bacteria when the time comes, just thinking about it will make my head spin. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
Never mind, it's better not to buy it. Just sit on the sofa or wooden floor and it will be very comfortable. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Not only that, I also didn't put foot pads at the entrance of the house.
When we come back from outside, we will take off our shoes and just put our feet in.
Multiple cushions only provide one more place to hide dirt and grime, there's no need.
I didn't put any floor mats in the kitchen either. After finishing my meal and washing the dishes, I just wiped the floor with a cloth. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
At present, only a small piece of floor mat is placed at the entrance of the bathroom.

2) I am no longer willing to buy extra clothes, shoes, etc.
The south is relatively humid, and whenever there is sunlight, In my experience of taking out the clothes in my wardrobe to dry them. What do you think about this?
Fortunately, both my husband and I don't have many clothes.
Like winter clothes, except for a few jackets, most of the other clothes can be packed in one storage bag.
Every time I bask in the sun, I just need to take out the storage bag.
That's it, I'm already tired.
If there were more clothes, it would be unimaginable.
Especially when I buy too many and can't wear them, I still have to spend time and energy taking care of them. I'm not a philanthropist. What do you think about this?
It's just okay, it's better to buy less, just enough to wear.
Compared to the fleeting joy of shopping, I prefer the happiness of doing less housework.

3) I no longer randomly buy various miscellaneous small ornaments.
A few years ago, my husband and I went to Hainan to play.
He insists on buying some small things as a souvenir.
As a result, when I bought these small ornaments, I took a second look and forgot where I put them when I returned. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
I only found out when I was cleaning that it was already covered in dust and difficult to wipe clean.
In a fit of anger, I threw them away directly.
From now on, no more 'beautiful waste' will be purchased. If you like it, just take a closer look at the store.
Believe me, after buying them, you don't have much time to appreciate them, and instead, they add a lot of wiping actions. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

4) I am no longer willing to buy various beautiful storage boxes.
Those who have bought storage boxes should know that the more storage boxes there are, the more things there are, and the more storage actions there are. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
This is a false proposition.
To be neat, buying less and holding less is the most effective way.
Also, for condiments, shampoo, shower gel, etc., just use the original bottles directly.
There is no need to buy extra storage packaging boxes with consistent styles just for the sake of uniformity.
Buy it back, take the time to pack it in, It's also easy to confuse,Isn't it okay to cause trouble?
·
5) I will be cautious when buying various types of furniture.
A few days ago, I just told my husband that in the future when we decorate, we shouldn't buy any furniture except for wardrobes, cabinets, and beds. Have you tried this before? Share your story!
Check in and see if there is a need. If there is, it's not too late to buy again; No, that would be convenient. Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
I don't need anything like a dressing table, TV cabinet, or dining cabinet.
Can a desk and dining table be combined into one.
In short, furniture that occupies space and appears small should be kept as few as possible, It can also greatly reduce the amount of household chores.

6) Finally, I've found that it's recommended to browse second-hand platforms. Remember not to buy anything that says "it's idle after only a few uses"! Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
Those items that are destined to be idle after being bought, you won't miss anything if you don't buy life.
But if you buy it, your wallet may miss something.
You still need to do more housework, it's not worth it!
