7 | <\/span>Pick experiences over things<\/h3>

When you are in the fortunate position of having all you need, you can decide to reward yourself not on useless things, but on experiences<\/strong>, like a class to learn a new skill, or a (day) trip somewhere. If you can’t really afford this type of activity, you can always ask them as a gift for your birthday or Christmas.<\/p>

8 | Choose electronic books and online reads<\/span><\/h3>

Switching to ebooks is one of the best ways to save space (and money). Nowadays you don’t necessarily need a Kindle (though if you can afford it I highly recommend you get one). Everyone can read from their tablet, laptop and even their phone. If you subscribe to a magazine, look for the subscription that gives you full access to their online articles without receiving the paper version.<\/p>

9 | <\/span>Declutter your devices & inbox<\/h3>

We use multiple devices every day, probably more than we realise, so we should treat them like our home, garage and work station: like a space that needs to be cleaned up from time to time. What does that mean?<\/p>

• Delete apps and software you are not using<\/li>
• Reorganise your files and delete the ones you don’t need anymore<\/li>
• Run Ccleaner on your laptop or the “device care” function in the settings of your phone to delete temporary files and optimise storage<\/li>
• Clear your desktop area to open your laptop and phone to a clean, minimalist screen<\/li>
• Empty your laptop bin regularly<\/li><\/ul>

Going through each step regularly will make you want to go a little further each time. You will see as you repeat these tips, they’ll get easier: you’ll donate more, buy less, choose better quality, etc. A lifestyle can’t change overnight, so it’ll take a bit of practice, which you can achieve by mindfully implementing new habits into your life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

It has become increasingly popular in the last couple of years as people are more aware of their purchase habits, choices and impact on their environment.
