over the past 11 months, we have minimalized most of our house. here is a list of our accomplishments:
- 2 vehicles
- living room
- bathrooms
- work office
- home office
- kids’ rooms
- junk drawers
- master bedroom
- toy room
- basement/storage room
- kitchen
after 11 months and too little maintenance, here is a list of rooms that need to be reminimalized:
- master bathroom cabinets
- work office
- home office
- kids’ rooms
- junk drawer
- master bedroom
- toy room
somehow, i’ve got to get excited about round 2… and about finding a better maintenance system. any ideas? it is a bit frustrating, but noone ever said living minimalist was going to be easy.

I am reading this almost a year after it was published and you’re probably 1) already on to round 3 and 2) have already figured out the answer on how to deal with this:
establish minimizing/decluttering routines that address the different zones or areas of your homes on a weekly or monthly basis. you have to build the minimizing into your habits. see flylady.net
