Messy Minimalism: Realistic Strategies for the Rest of Us EPUB

Messy Minimalism gives us permission to do minimalism our way--the imperfect way, the messy way, and, most importantly, the real way. . . approachable for everyone.Courtney Carver, author of Project 333 and Soulful Simplicity, and founder of Be More with Less

Think minimalism means a perfectly curated, always tidy home? Think again.

Drowning in tides of toys, overflowing closets, and a crazy schedule, Rachelle Crawford assumed you had to be naturally organized to keep a tidy living space. Then she found minimalism: the messy, real-life kind, that is less about perfection and more about purpose. Thus began a journey toward decluttering her home, calendar, and soul.

With empathy, grace, and humor, Crawford--who curates the popular Abundant Life with Less site--shares doable ways to own less and live more fully. Laying out practical strategies for reducing waste, curbing consumption, decluttering, and finding lots more joy, Crawford offers no-nonsense solutions for the rest of us. Learn to become a more conscious consumer, create a capsule wardrobe, inspire family members to join you, free up more time for the things that matter, and create a tidy(ish) home. The messy minimalist way is a no-judgment zone, one in which we learn sustainable habits and grace-based practices. Its about living lightly on the earth and making room for purpose.

Becoming a messy minimalist is not about turning into someone else; its about clearing away clutter and expectations to unearth who you really are. Its about carrying fewer things so that we find ourselves holding onto what truly matters.
