Minimalist : How To Prepare & Control Your Minimalist Budget In 30 Days Or Less & Get More Money Out Of Life Now
Minimalist : How To Prepare & Control Your Minimalist Budget In 30 Days Or Less & Get More Money Out Of Life Now | Scott Green
1 post
The term minimalism is originally used in music and arts as a word to describe simple, repetitive, and pared-down patterns and designs. The contemporary and deeper meaning of the term, on the other hand, has developed to describe a way of living based on simplicity and focus, on passion and purpose, and on growth and contribution. This deeper meaning is what you are going to learn in this book as you gradually apply the principles that will be mentioned here not only in your finances, health, and relationships, but in your entire life as well. Good luck!

A few weeks ago I started to feel overwhelmed by my TBR. Most of the shelves in my house contain UNREAD books. And they're overflowing. (Thanks #litfluence!) That's before I count my digital shelves.

So the book buying ban begins. I'm going minimal! And I decide to make a graphic to keep track in minimalism style. Wish me luck!

readordierachel Good luck! I need to do this too. 7y
Ms_T I know exactly what you mean. I‘m also feeling overwhelmed right now 😕 7y
Booksnchill Awesome idea! 7y

Cinfhen You purchased 35 books last month?!?! 7y
Cinfhen Love this idea!!! I will be following your progress and hopefully following I'm your approach 🙌🏻💕 7y
Kaye Don‘t blame you a bit. There might be others in here that would want to join you in this. I can‘t stand lots of clutter myself so try to keep the books put away and I usually give them away once done with them. 7y
SkeletonKey I need to do this as well 😖 7y
2BR02B While I know I should be following your example (I bought around 40 physical books last month, and around 15 ebooks) I can't bring myself to commit to a book buying ban. My reasoning is that I have relatively few vices, with impulse book buying being the most pronounced. If I quit, who can say what would fill the void? I'd be liable to take up bath salts, or armed robbery instead. 7y
alysonimagines @BarbaraTheBibliophage I can definitely relate to an overwhelming TBR pile! Mine is all digital now, which makes it easier to tuck out of sight but also more dangerous. @2BR02B I know what you mean about vices. I feel like ebook buying is one of my few compulsive addictions and is relatively harmless to myself or others. Also since I am a library orphan, I really depend on those ebook bargains to maintain my reading habit! 7y
BarbaraBB I like the idea. One day I‘ll follow you, but not yet... not yet... 😂 7y
GlassAsDiamonds I should do this as well.... 7y
LeahBergen I've already put myself on a book- buying ban this month, too. I'm calling it #NoNoNovember 😂 I will probably fail this week! 7y
MaureenMc Good luck! 👏 7y
ErickaS_Flyleafunfurled @2BR02B I like the way you think! 😂 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Ms_T I‘m glad I‘m not alone! 7y
Simona I wish you luck 🤞 This is my goal for the next year ... 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I was shocked when I added it up! The Book Outlet sale and also a lot of cheap ebooks are my excuse. It doesn‘t even count what I bought with the gift certificate from @MicheleinPhilly. I feel like it‘s an obsession. Not so fun! 😜 7y
HelloImJez Good luck! 🤞💕 I need to do the same, I have a whole shelf dedicated to unread books! 7y
Lreads Good luck! I know I have a lot of unread books but I'm not good with numbers so I don't count. 🙃 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Kaye I give most of my books away once I‘m finished too. I know lots of us try to stop buying. My math just doesn‘t add up - I read 10 books a month and buy 30? No bueno for my stress level. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @2BR02B I love your logic. In the likely event I fail at this, may I borrow it? 😜 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @alysonwrites I hear ya! I was all digital until about 18 mos ago. Then I realized that bargain physical books are often cheaper. They just fill up so much SPACE. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen I‘ll use that hashtag too (it‘s perfect!) and we can goad each other on ... to the ban, not the buying! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Jezjezaw I‘d like to get mine down to just one shelf again!! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ReadsWithTea I wasn‘t counting, until I did. Oooffff. 7y
blondie I need to do this too. My shelves are overwhelming me. I'd love to narrow my books down to one shelf again. But i keep buying. Ugh. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @blondie The overwhelm is taking the fun out of searching for the best books at best deals. 🙁 7y
rabbitprincess I'm skipping my favourite used book sale this year because I acquired about 40 books over the past two months 😁 Hoping to avoid buying books until after Christmas. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @rabbitprincess Stay strong, my friend! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
MicheleinPhilly HAHA! Good luck! 7y
Captivatedbybooks Shiiiiii lol good luck mama better you than me 😉 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Captivatedbybooks Daaaammmm. You made me laugh. Thanks. This'll be rough. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @MicheleinPhilly Yeah, with this whole group of enablers I'll last about a week. Maybe. 😜❤️ 7y
Cinfhen Brilliant hashtag @LeahBergen but @2BR02B makes a really good point!!!! 7y
LeahBergen @Cinfhen Yeah, who am I trying to fool? I have about 15 books on order (from October) that will trickle in over the month. I'll snap as soon as I see a hot shiny book for cheap though. 😂 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen @Cinfhen I really have to last, but I have serious doubts about my abilities to do so. But I'll be happy if I can cut way way way back. 35 a month is ridiculous! If I make it past the release date of Donna Brazil's' book about the 2016 election (due 11/7), I'll be happy. At least I'm engaging my mind constructively. 7y
Cinfhen #realisticgoals I'm all for that! 7y
DivineDiana I‘m with you! Resisting as much as is humanly possible. 😬 ( Unless, I move in to a very large house that has a room for a Library like The Beast in Beauty and the 😉) 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @DivineDiana Like your emoji, I am gritting my teeth and still resisting. As long as I have my tiny townhouse, and no new Prince to take me away ... 7y
