208) Junking and Hauling

Last November, I began to declutter my material goods. I sold them through FaceBook Marketplace, or I donated them through Goodwill.

I first learned how to declutter from watching Netflix documentary, Minimalism. And reading Marie Kondo’s book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing. And reading Greg McKeown’s book, Essentialism: The Disciplined Pursuit of Less.

My mind was processing. Simplifying my life and other lives interested me. I challenged myself to understand, apply, and execute it.

I started to run a business on junking and hauling.

It did take time for me to pursue it. Because I was afraid of failure.

I watched Minimalism in 2017. I was astonished by it. During the film, one person talking caught my attention: “The average American household has more than 300,000 items.” I was surprised. But I wasn’t ready to declutter any of my possessions at the time.

I backpacked and solo traveled for the first time in 2018. I adjusted and lived their lifestyle. It’s not always about me. There’s more to the world than myself. I visited the Philippines, Spain, and China. I met locals, tourists, travelers, and others. Living an experience is more meaningful and powerful than buying a material good. That’s what I believe. We choose what we spend.

I decided to start my own business on June 2019.

This business can (possibly) work.

America is a consumerism country.

You buy and hoard. You are searching for your happiness. I junk and haul it one day for you. My job is to provide service for you. It’s a cycle. You are what keep the junkers/haulers as for myself at work. We are helping each other. Thank you.

I expect my business to fail along the way. Running a business is tough, or else everyone would be starting a business right away.

We shall see.

I tidy your way.
