💭 Impact: How you can declutter for a cause during Lent⁠
.⁠
Today is the first day of Lent; the start of the 40-day lead up to Easter. Many Christians give up something they enjoy—coffee, chocolate or meat, for example. But this year, how about giving up 40 items that no longer spark joy?⁠
.⁠
Each day during Lent put aside one item you no longer need, and after the 40 days is up donate the lot to a Salvation Army store near you. Your donation of material goods will then be sold in one of more than 1,200 family stores across the United States. That income, in turn, funds a cost-free, six-month rehabilitation program that helps more than 200,000 people overcome addiction every year in the U.S. ⁠

🎧 Do Gooders Podcast, Ep. 40: A tip for decluttering and refocusing every room in your house with Joshua Becker⁠
.⁠
Did you know we have some 50,000 storage facilities in the U.S.? That’s more than the number of Starbucks and McDonald’s locations combined. One estimate cites the number of items inside the average American home at 300,000. But what purpose does all of this “stuff” serve?⁠
.⁠
@joshua_becker believes that a large amount of our stuff serves absolutely no purpose—and in fact, detracts from our well being instead of adding to it.⁠
.⁠
A former pastor and the founder and editor of Becoming Minimalist—with two books on the subject and an online course that 35,000 people have taken to date—he empowers readers to adopt a form of minimalism that works for them—in effect, optimizing our values.

💭 Impact: 5 inspiring YouTube videos that'll make you want to live sustainably⁠
.⁠
Whether or not you consider yourself someone who cares deeply about the environment, we can probably all agree that living sustainably is the more inconvenient option.⁠

It’s important for us to do our part. And as it turns out, it’s not just the environment that wins with us making this effort, it’s financially beneficial for us too.⁠

🎧 Do Gooders Podcast, Ep. 40: A tip for decluttering and refocusing every room in your house with Joshua Becker⁠
.⁠
@joshua_becker of Becoming Minimalist believes that a large amount of our stuff serves absolutely no purpose—and in fact, detracts from our well being instead of adding to it.⁠
.⁠
Because minimalism, he says, isn’t about living in a white room with zero belongings, but about intentionally promoting what we most value by removing anything that distracts from it. And in return, we can find more time, more money and less stress. ⁠
.⁠
Joshua is on the show today to talk about this purpose-focused journey, which he says comes down to a simple question: What do I want my life to be about? ⁠
