Minimalism is more than an aesthetic. It's also a way to experience the simplicity and beauty of a single moment. What good is refreshing your surroundings if your mind is too cluttered to relax? The fewer distractions taking up precious time, the more you can invest in activities that add to your life. Set time restrictions on mobile social media apps, or better yet, keep them off of your cellphone altogether. Use time saved for reading a book or walking around the parking lot during your lunch break. Instead of watching TV, complete a yoga workout before dinner.
