I was laid off during Deloitte‘s mass layoff in July of last year. I have worked as an independent contractor since and projects haven’t been consistent at the client I’m working for. I’m looking to get back into a big firm and was seeing if anyone would be able to refer me or help get my foot in the door. I was a business analyst for 1.5 years at Deloitte and have several years of additional experience which I’d be more than happy to share.

Haven’t gone “hardcore minimalist” but have gone thru a SIGNIFICANT decluttering process over the last couple of years. I actually felt great getting rid of a lot of my “stuff” and working towards a simpler and more minimalist mindset.
Something I like doing is taking a picture of me with the item or a photo of the item so I can remember it via photo if I want to, and not have to keep the actual item!
Same as PWC1. Because if it’s not your personality, you will struggle to maintain that lifestyle
Used the KonMari approach to decluttering my clothing. I’m working organizing the rest of my stuff but it’s been slow going
Ok but what about these cute old navy corduroy pants with thatch pattern pockets that are three sizes too small? I feel like I want to fit into them :(
^^I had a couple of dresses like that. They are gone. I think I will be happy to buy new clothes if/ when I get to that size again!
It’s a lot about mindset. It’s ok to think that way about a couple of items or retain some sentimental pieces, but if everything gets justified like that it will make it hard to get to a simple lifestyle much less a hardcore minimalist one.
Maybe start small and do one walk thru of your place and pull things for a trash and a donate pile and then IMMEDIATELY get them out of the house. Easy to part with stuff is a good first step.
Ok. I’m having a hard time letting go of my childhood books from school, but they are literally a deadweight when I move.
I like the Kon Mari approach, too. I think the big take away is to start with things that are easy to get rid of (old paperwork, clothes, kitchen utensils) and then save the harder, more sentimental stuff for after you’ve had practice. I have found it has really brought relief to my family. We have 2 kids, and it’s hard, especially with not knowing if we want more kids (keep maternity and baby clothes?). When we moved to a new house, we set up our kids room to be more Montessori, which aligns really well with going simpler.
