Minimalism is not about owning less; it is about owning one thing for each purpose. Let us say you have four seasons and you only have one pair of suede shoes. You can’t wear them in the rain or when there are a lot of puddles. So, you will need a second pair for when it rains. The idea of needing only one object that efficiently handles as many use case possible is called minimalism. The benefits are numerous; first you will not clutter your entire house with similar items solving the same use case. A clutter-free space is serene, which helps you organise better and even improves your mood. Moreover, fewer things to manage mean more freedom. A product’s lifespan shortens if not maintained, leading to expensive repairs and wasted time. In case of tech equipment also, we try to curb as many use cases as possible, which often leads to reduced lifespan of the product. For example, if you are using your work device or productivity setup for your gaming or entertainment needs you get the point. Minimalism extends beyond objects to experiences, such as food, travel, leisure, and relationships. While travelling, minimalism becomes a must for packing light. For example, one GaN power adapter up to 100W of power delivery with four ports solves the problem of packing four different power bricks for your devices, isn’t that amazing? Only if we could wish the trash taking itself out, but sometimes we need to clear house. So find the things that clutter your space and chuck them away.
