One common question that continues to resurface throughout the comments on my content and through messages and emails I receive is how do I practice minimalism when my partner isn't. And when say partner, I'm also referring to roommates, parents, in-laws, kids, siblings, even your best friend.

So if you're the minimalist who's trying to get their partner on board, or if you're the other person who's not quite with this minimalism thing but you're trying to understand for the sake of your partner, friend, or relative. Then let's talk about how we can make this work.
