30 Day Minimalism Game


What is the 30 Day Minimalism Game? Popularized by "The Minimalists," it's a challenge between 2 or more people that involves getting rid of an increasing amount of items for 30 days. Starting on the first of the month, each person would find one item they don't need and git rid of it. As the days pass, the number increases to whatever day of the month it is. So on day 2, you get rid of 2 items. On the Seventh, 7 items. And so forth until the 30th or until the other loses. This page documents our first time with the challenge!

Stakes: The loser plans a date and takes the other out

Lessons Learned:

Day 1: Challenge just started. We're excited!

Day 2: We won't always be motivated to find items to part with

Day 7: We gotten rid of 56 items already! We already see an impact, though the challenge is getting harder!
