The minimalist art of owning as few things as possible - discarding all useless objects, while keeping essentials (like clothes, computers, etc). Lessism usually only counts on personal things that belong only to the owner. It means that it usually doesn’t include household furniture, dishes, cleaning supplies, or other shared items. Often times lessism is considered as a badge of honor in minimalist circles, as in lessism is a competition scored like golf, where the fewest pieces wins.
