Do you really need to buy new stuff? It's fascinating to observe people undertaking challenges like avoiding purchasing new items for a year or more.

Indeed, when you begin to experiment, there are numerous ways to reduce your consumption. Firstly, create a list of items you need beyond your basic necessities. Having a list is an excellent way to reconsider before making a purchase. It serves as a buffer between your desires and genuine needs.

Next, determine your priorities: the items should be urgent and significantly impact your daily life. The second part of your list should include "nice to have" things. Consider adding question marks next to them, allowing you to easily remove them from your list upon review.

Once you have your list, explore alternatives to traditional retailers. Set up alerts on second-hand e-commerce websites. Browse apps where people give away items. Check your neighborhood streets for discarded furniture that can be reused.

Be creative. There are far more opportunities available than you might realize.
