Becoming Minimalist with Joshua Becker

“Your life is too valuable to waste chasing and accumulating material possessions.” ~ Joshua BeckerThat quote right there just sums it all up for me. While I'm currently living a life FAR from minimalism, the idea that my material possessions are actually detracting  from my life is something I see play out every day. I would MUCH rather spend my time pursing an activity I love (relaxing with a good book, anyone?) or spending quality time with my favorite people rather than fold an ENORMOUS load of laundry because I have too many clothes, or spend an hour picking up/decluttering just so I can clean.  That's why I was so excited to bring Joshua Becker, founder of "Becoming Minimalist", onto my podcast. Joshua has made it his life's work to help and encourage others to "live more with less." He was full of lots of practical advice and tips, including:What is minimalism? What does it look like?What are the benefits of owning (and doing) less?How does one get started? What method do you recommend?Advice for someone who likes the idea but feels too overwhelmed, or has tried decluttering before and “failed.” Joshua Becker is the Wall Street Journal and USA Today best-selling author of five books: Things That Matter, The Minimalist Home, The More of Less, Clutterfree with Kids and Simplify.
