A 2-week or 1-month no-spending challenge. Commit to buying only the essentials during that time frame.
Why It’s Important:
If you struggle with buying too many new things, you’re dealing with an inflow problem. Imagine trying to bail water out of a boat while you’re in the middle of the lake. You will never make any headway with getting the water out if you don’t plug that hole. The same is true when you are actively minimizing your possessions, you will struggle to make headway if you are still bringing more items in than you are letting go of.
