What is minimalism? It doesn't mean living with nothing or living in poor conditions. Minimalism doesn't mean you have to be impoverished or destitute.

It is overwhelming to clean your house all at once so divide it into seven sections. It is your prerogative now what section to work in first but endeavor to finish one section a day. To further make the whole task easier, decide the easier sections and difficult sections. For example, I would classify the children's room a difficult section and the dining room as a "breeze" section. Then put easier sections between two difficult sections.
