Hey guys! For today's chapter I thought it would be an amazing idea to have something that could factor in with the new(ish) year!

This challenge, created by Anuschka Rees, was created so that you could get a small taste of minimalist living... in a small way. (I also put her website in the external link, so if you'd like to visit the actual page that goes into more detail on these tasks, go there.)

I saw one minimalism challenge where you're supposed to get rid of one thing on the first day, two on the second, three on the third, and so forth. I suppose that's also minimalism living, but if you can't handle this first one, there's no way you can handle that one.

Who knows, maybe you'll give both a try?

Day 1: Stay offline for one day.

Day 2: Meditate for fifteen minutes.

Day 3: Declutter your digital life. (desktop, files, photos)

Day 4: No-complaint day.

Day 5: Identify your 3 - 6 main priorities.

Day 6: Follow a morning ritual (without immediately checking social media feeds.)

Day 7: Streamline your reading list. (get rid of unimportant bookmarks, unsub to things)

Day 8: Learn to enjoy solitude.

Day 9: Downsize your beauty collection.

Day 10: No email or social media until lunch.
