7 things – your vehicle

by becoming minimalist on July 30th, 2009

7-things

vehicles can be tricky.  some people keep theirs very clean, and some very messy.  if you are the latter, here is a list of seven things that can be minimalized from your vehicle today:

  1. trash (obviously)
  2. napkins/kleenex (how many do you really need anyway?)
  3. pens/pencils
  4. coins (leave a few of each)
  5. cds (the ones you don’t listen to anymore)
  6. maps (just bring ‘em when you need ‘em)
  7. expired insurance/registration documentation

honorable mentions:

  • toys
  • coffee mugs
  • air fresheners
  • texting

  1. I love it! I will definitely be back! Thank you so much for visiting my new site! And for your kind words as well! :)

  2. Nice post!
    On coins in the car: I would note that in the cities I frequent, most have meters that don’t take anything smaller than quarters, and I can also use the quarters for tolls. I don’t smoke, so I keep a stash of quarters hidden in the ashtray. No other coins allowed, since they don’t do any good!

    Also, I suggest you don’t leave any money visible: someone broke a window on my ex-husband’s car to get to a small amount of visible change.

  3. It’s amazing how much ’stuff’ accumulates in our cars.
    Like you, we’ve made it a ‘mission’ of ours to have a regular car detox. Here’s our 7 Steps:

    Minimizing is not only healthier (getting rid of trash), but it feels good too – I wonder if there is a term for this, something like “vehicular self-esteem” :-)
