New Minimalism Journal: Create Your Plan for a Less Cluttered Life

For anyone seeking a simpler life, this guided journal takes the reader on a journey to a new definition of minimalism, where we are all served by having fewer, better things and each person's ideal lifestyle is unique to them.

First, you'll have the opportunity to take stock of your life so far, with questions and guided reflections for gaining clarity on subconscious thoughts and habits. This section includes quizzes to understand how you relate to your stuff, your decluttering personality archetype, and potential challenges in the process. Then, determine your true priorities and most important personal goals. Once you've got your mind organized, you'll begin the physical process of decluttering your home and possessions with a tried and true step-by-step system complete with checklists, decision tree, and project planning calendar.
