What ideas do you have for becoming a minimalist - I am tired of clutter in my life & need suggestions please?
Answers:
Choose only one room or area at a time. Have a trash bag ready and a box for donations. Anything that you have owned for a year and have not used should be given away. Anything that doesn't fit or is not going to be fixed should be given away. Really ask yourself if "this" is an essential to your life or is it just here collecting dust? Don't stop the project until you have covered all your possessions and then repeat the process every six months.

Firstly keep your house clean. Secondly donate stuff that is still good but has no use for you anymore.Thirdly throw away stuff that you may never use and is good for nothing.Clutter around you also indicates to an emotional mess inside you.Now you are the best judge for that .Get going.GOD BLESS U.
Try getting rid of some stuff. Either throw away or donate. Stuff that may be hazardous have to be taken to disposal centers. That clears up the present clutter.
To prevent future clutters, don't get/buy stuff you don't need. Sure it's on sale, but do you really need it? So, your uncle decided to give you his coffee table... Accept it. But if you don't need it, donate or throw it away.
Sometimes, it's costs more to repair an item than to buy a new one. If you do buy a new one, don't forget to get rid of the old one. Don't let it sit in the corner somewhere. Things that sit around will add up.
dump everything that hasn't been used in the past 6 months. for everything else go to thecontainerstore.com
