Desirae is the founder of Minimal-ish, a lifestyle brand and podcast that is helping men and women live with less so they can make room for what matters most.

In the book, I talk about the benefits of decluttering your environment, your calendar, and your mind and Desirae is an expert on this topic. But she's also very honest about the challenges of the lifestyle she's chosen and even admits that cleaning her house is actually one of her least favorite activities. Instead, Desirae is committed to being intentional with her time and getting really clear on what is most important to her in life.

In this episode, she talks about her personal journey to minimalism and some of the resistance she faced along the way. She shares her favorite rituals and tons of Purpose Plays to help you take control of your time and use minimalism as a tool for living on purpose.

#PurposePlays from the episode:

• Write a Surrender List. Start your day by journaling a list of things you are "surrendering" to the universe (or whatever higher power you believe in). You can surrender your anxiety about work, anger with a spouse, or the launch of an upcoming product. LET GO of whatever you are trying to control so you can focus on the other parts of life that are (probably) far more important.

• Create a decluttering date with yourself or your partner/roommate. Put a dedicated time on the calendar for "maintenance" cleaning so the mess never gets too overwhelming and you can trust that there will be time to address it.

• Create a Purpose Statement. Read this blog post for a step by step process.
