How to Play the Game
Start small and ramps up each day.
This was deigned by The Minimalists Joshua Fields Millburn & Ryan Nicodemus - The Minimalists 30-Day Minimalism Game.
Here’s how it works.
Find a friend or family member or anyone who’s willing to get rid of their excess stuff and join the Facebook group above. For one month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day. It’s an easy game at first. However, it starts getting challenging by week two when you’re everyone is jettisoning more than a dozen items each day. Whoever can keep it going the longest wins; everyone wins if you can make it all month. Bonus points if you play with your whole family. If you can - especially if you want to win! - post pics daily, every other day, or weekly of what you're getting rid of and tag @stickhabits with the hashtag #stickminimalism #MinsGame.
No worries if you join late as you can easily catch up with the group by donating a handful of things.

FAQ
-
Can I just do this on my own without the group?
Absolutely, but it's really difficult to make these changes alone. Doing this with a group provides so much support and keeps you going on those days when you may just skip it if you are by yourself. Plus it's way more fun to play with friends!
-
Do I have to use Instagram?
Nope! If you're a member of STICK, you can use our private Mighty Networks group if you just want to keep this between us :)
-
When can we do this again?!
We will do this every December. While it's always nice to declutter throughout the year, this will be a chance to make it a fun game with friends and start the new year with a clean slate.
