Three concrete ways to own less: toss anything unused in 90 days, adopt one-in-one-out buying, and repair instead of replace. The payoff is a lighter mind, more money, and less waste.

Did you know that having too many possessions— objects, clothes, devices— doesn't just take up physical space but also mentally weighs you down? Here are 3 things you can do to live more with less stuff. Number 1: Declutter. Start with any one room of your house. Look at all the possessions in that room. Pick something, anything. Have you used that item in the last 90 days? Will you use it in the next 90? If not, let it go. Number 2, before you buy anything new, let go of something you already own. Want that new t-shirt? First let go of that one t-shirt that you no longer use. Number 3, repair. Get out of the buy-break-throw cycle. If something gets broken or clothing gets torn, ask yourself, can it be fixed? If yes, then sew it, fix it, repair it instead of jumping onto replacing it. This will not only help you save money but also will reduce waste on the planet.
