Central Illinois is the CI
in ciliving.
Joshua fields Millburn and
Ryan they could be miss the
famed minimalist to have
helped more than 20 million
people make more of their
documentary now streaming on
netflix is called the
minimalist left is now the
usual minimalism with that
introduction of the words film
to talk with the duo about the
film and how you can begin to
put find you about.
Just take a look around
your average basement or attic
the things we for job we even
on boxes and bins and entire
With this what is one thing
that you could recommend
everybody to do especially
during the holidays when we
get lots of stuff that we just
do not need. What's one
give to our viewers to help in
starting along this this
journey that is going to take
some time and it isn't an
overnight success the end of
our film we have something
called the less is now
challenge.
And you realize that
sometimes decluttering can be
kind of boring and it can also
be intimidating no one knows
where to start because the
average American household has
300,000 items in it. We are
burdened by all of this stuff
and we're in or know where to
start and so the 30 day less
is now challenge works like
this the beginning of the
family member a co-worker
someone is one some stuff with
you and on the first each
decide to get rid of one item.
The second day of the month 2
items, 3rd day of the month 3
items so forth and so on so it
starts off really easy to get
you that momentum you need but
by the middle month gets more
difficult. They 15 you're like
items today, but then tomorrow
at to get rid of 69 of ever
goes the longest wins you can
bet whatever you want a nice
got and whoever goes along as
winds of you both make it to
the end of the month and you
both one though because you've
got rid of about 500 items and
that's a really good stuff.
Josh, still owes me a million
dollars.
10 years another 10 years,
I have to ask a question to
with genders and I think about
you know, I've got a long
jacket to go with my dresses
that I where I have a short
check and I have a ski jacket
hiking jacket I a lot of
jackets to difference is going
to go with the out that you
know so time.
Purging my jacket and quite
honestly my shoes and that
between men and women with
just this year I see the
result, we know people with
this that you know my wife is
certainly a minimalist.
I met her that was not one
of the things that was like so
appealing to me, but it was
appealing to me as we share
similar values right. I don't
care specifically what stuff
she owns there isn't a list of
the most appropriate items
that everyone should own
because it is different for
each person. I will say to you
is if you get a mince value
from your jackets been great
to get a men's die from
issues. I'm not the one is
going to tell you that you
should get rid of them. There
is no should however we do
have something called the
spontaneous combustion will.
We have a free e-book on our
website, it's called the man
was rulebook 16 rules for
living with less and one of
those rules of the spontaneous
combustion are also may be
going to your calls tonight.

of shoes and look at and say
