The 5 Best Books for Efficient Organization: Minimalist Living & Working {reading tip}

The bookshelf or DVD collection that occupies a whole room wall, the idea of ​​replacing the wardrobe with a dressing room, or the sight of the Amibo figurine collection: we own too much.

Attention dumb to-do list

Fumio Sasaki calls it the silent to-do list: while we want to concentrate on working on the computer, others call out Tasks after U.S. Books are waiting to be read on the desk, for the upcoming holiday in Sweden we wanted to learn a few words of Swedish.

The dusty guitar symbolizes our future self as campfire musicians. The unworn clothes stay in the closet, because soon we want the three necessary dress sizes verlierento be able to wear them. Often enough, life gets in the way and things are left lying around, books unread. But they stay because we identify with them.

What we need to live

The Japanese Fumio Sasaki is fed up with this life. He lives in his cave, drinks too much alcohol in the evening, puts on belly fat and identifies himself on his bookshelves. “The books were a desperate attempt to show others what a smart guy I am,” said Fumio, “the same was true for my mountains of CDs and DVDs, for my antique pieces, the artistic photographs on the walls, mine Dishes and my camera collection ”.

He discovers the Idea of minimalist life and takes a radical approach. He gives everything away: all the books, DVDs, his photo camera collection, table, chair and his bed.

Less cleaning, less expenses

Less to clean, no loss in earthquakes common in Japan and less expenditure for consumption and pomp: Minimalism has many advantages for the Japanese. “Minimalism gave me a chance to think about what happiness really means,” says Fumio, “I got rid of countless things, many of which I had owned for years.

And yet I live happier now. ” Today he owns little more than his mattress, little tableware and a selection of clothes limited to a few pieces, which he can combine with each other like Steve Jobs did before.

More human than ever

"Today I have nothing of what I used to think was part of myself," said Fumio. "Today I am simply human and know that an object cannot possibly be part of my personality."

Fumio gives tips on minimalist life in his guide 55 and explains which twelve changes lead to maximum happiness. He also introduces other bloggers and pioneers of the minimalist lifestyle trend. A very readable book!
