## Inspiration

It is rather hard to find good inspiration besides two or three resources,
because all minimalists out there are "extremists", owning less than 100
items, being digital nomads or something like that.

That "extremist" kind of minimalism can be discouraging and shocking, failing to
provide inspiration at all.

Some resources I rather like to get inspiration from:

## Defining Minimalism

Minimalism is not about having nothing.
Minimalists are
[allowed](https://www.reddit.com/r/minimalism/comments/846drx/extreme_minimalism_a_trend/)
to have things, even things that might not be "minimalist" at all (whatever
that it).

The fundamental thing to ask is

> Does this item provide value in my life?

and if it does not, one can get rid of it.
