2021-05-27 Get Rid of Duplicate

Most of us are guilty of having multiple sets of the same item or at least multiples that all perform the same function.

From the minimalistic perspective, this is a waste of space. Eliminate all of your duplicates.

When I say this, it means that you don’t need 3 pairs of earbuds, so get rid of 1 or 2 of them.

One of my problem areas was myofascial release (self-massage) tools for muscle recovery. Recently, I realized that I had 2 massage balls, a rolling pin massager, a foam roller, and a “rox mat” with hard knobs on it.

Being that these all perform basically the same function, I got rid of 2 of them and kept the little massage ball and the foam roller so I had one for small muscles and one for big muscles. There’s no need to have several tools that all have the same purpose if 1 or 2 of them have overlap in some areas.

Aim to have only one tool for each little category of your life.
