What is the definition of minimalism? Why do people choose to live minimally?

Minimalism is a design and lifestyle movement characterized by simplicity and the use of minimal elements. It emphasizes function over form and stripped-down, essential items over excess and clutter.

Why people choose to live minimally?

Personally, it is an idea I am toying with for various reasons. However, people do choose to live minimally for various reasons, including the desire for a simpler and less stressful life, to declutter their physical and mental spaces, to live more sustainably, or to focus on experiences and relationships rather than material possessions.

One of my personal reasons for considering minimalism is to have clarity of my space. When my immediate vicinity is cluttered, it is like I can focus on the task at hand. I just need to tidy first, even if just a little so I can focus. This apply to if I need to focus intensely on a mental task like for example, filling a complicated tax form etc.

So yeah, I hope this answers your question!
