A friend of mine who knows about this area told me there is a coffee shop inside the Umeå university hospital, so I just gave it a try to visit there.

In this blog post, I would like to share with you my own minimalist strategy called " The Warehouse Strategy ". Why is it so hard for me to throw things away? I have no scientific data to prove this but, based on my experience I think the reason why it is difficult to throw things away for most people is because of the psychological attachment to the things that you own . For example, if you want to be a minimalist and you are trying to reorganise your belongings, you may realise that you want to throw away none of them . Also Read:  Why I can't clean my house?
