Help Me Be a Minimalist in My Life
Why?
You might want to have less.
How?
An app where you set up what is the maximum number of items you want to have in your life. Then you list all the items you currently have. If there are more than what you deem as the right number, then you have to get rid of the extra ones. From that point on, any new item has to push out another one.
