Why Living in a Small Space Made Me More Minimalist (And Less Overwhelmed)

Описание: If you’ve ever wondered whether minimalism actually changes your life, this is what it looked like for me. Minimalism isn't about less for the sake of less. It's about removing what doesn’t serve your current season, including how you manage your time, energy, and even your money.

I live in a 300 sq ft studio apartment by choice. Not because I had to, but because simplifying my space simplified my life. This minimalist lifestyle didn’t just reduce clutter. It reduced decision fatigue, stress, and daily overwhelm.

In this video, I share:
• How a simplified morning routine became easier
• Why owning less makes cleaning almost effortless
• How minimalism creates space for intentional living
• Why a small home supports slow living and peace

Minimalist living isn’t about aesthetic shelves or empty rooms. It’s about removing what steals your energy so you can live intentionally. When you stop managing excess, you gain clarity.

If you feel overwhelmed by your home, your schedule, or your routines, this minimalist shift might be what you’re actually looking for.

You don’t need a studio apartment.
You just need less to manage.
