Identify your own attitude toward stuff.   Blaze and gaze strategy: Blaze -- Imagine a fire engulfs part of your home. Keep  only what you would want to keep from a fire. Gaze - Important paperwork or  sentimental items; Items worth holding onto and look at individually. Focus on your one thing and own the opportunity cost. When you focus on your one thing, you say no to many other things. Apply the Pareto principle or the 80/20 rule. 80% of your results come from 20% of your activities Let go of emotional baggage and increase lightheartedness. Digitize and minimize sentimental items. Let minimalism give you permission to pursue what you truly want wholeheartedly.  Kelly and Maria’s Takeaways Kelly: Own the opportunity cost of making the podcast grow, even though it takes time and money. Ask myself what 20% of work this past year produced 80% of my results?  Maria: It’s painful to let things go, like commitments, but it’s important to let things go to welcome the things I really want to do. I’m going to be open to change.  Episode Topics and Mentions House fire Paris Minimalist Living: Decluttering for Joy, Health, and Creativity by Genieve Parker Hill Experience Over Stuff: How to Live Free in a World that Wants to Clutter You Up by Genevieve Parker Hill Purgers Collectors Tae Kwon Do The One Thing by Gary Keller Lewis Pugh Pareto Principle New York City 9/11/2001 Breast cancer Have something you want to share with Champion’s Mojo?
