[...] Ik wil minder spullen hebben. Ik ga elke maand minstens een tas vol spullen wegdoen. Spullen voor de kringloopwinkel of de Leger des Heils-bak. Ik ga voor het eerst van mijn leven iets verkopen op Marktplaats. Ik weet nog niet of het me dit jaar gaat lukken maar ik wil uiteindelijk 100 persoonlijke eigendommen hebben. Inspiratie nodig? Kijk hier of hier. [...]

That’s a good point @Jarkko. No one is forcing you to subscribe to one more blog though, it’s just one idea. Though, wouldn’t subscribing to a blog on minimalism provide constant reinforcement in the pursuit of a minimalist lifestyle? It’s also free, and housed on the internet, and thus not a huge burden to anyone’s life.

In the end, this is a list of ideas that you can choose to implement, and not requirements for a minimalist life.

Cool list, and with some really good ideas. But still, I found myself thinking that adding many of these things to my life would not really be making it more minimalistic but less…

For example, no matter how good things about minimalism are written on the blogs you link, adding one new blog to your RSS reader won’t make life less cluttered, but more. Or adding a minimalist item to your home without removing something else, that’s also increasing your clutter no matter how minimalistic the item you just added.

That said, I got some great tips from this list and enjoyed it a lot

Thanks for the link love. I appreciate it.

I like list. I don’t think listing 100 things is a bad idea or overwhelming. People can pick and chose activities that they want to integrate into their lives.

I agree with Wolfgirl’s comments. I found a number of ideas in the list that I can integrate into my life list and that’s a good thing.

Thanks for the post!
