A technique in jumping into minimalism with both feet.
“Packing Party” is a term I first heard about from “The Minimalists” (two dudes whose life mission is touting minimalism, with a blog, several books, a podcast, and multiple documentaries). It’s a rather extreme exercise to remove cruft and unnecessary things from your life.
How to have a Packing Party
- Pack up everything in you own into boxes like you were going to move.
- Continue living. As you need things, go unpack them from the boxes.
- After ~3 months, anything not unpacked can be given away or sold.
A less radical minimalist technique is One In, One Out.
