Now I am preparing to move. I am trying to be as creative as possible to reduce the cost. Today, I will introduce an example of it through my recent experience.
How to accomplish affordably
Sometimes, we want to accomplish a goal as affordably as possible. Although using money makes it easier to achieve, we don’t want to depend on it because the amount of it is usually limited. Money is one of the most useful tools. We want to use it efficiently.
Creativity is often a substitute for money. Other than money, we can use other affordable things to realize something. That also makes us more abundant.
That is why we want to accomplish a goal as affordably as possible.
However, we sometimes don’t know what to use, especially in a unique situation.
Today, I will introduce an example from my recent experience. This idea might make it easier to accomplish our goals while having fun.
The essence of creativity
First, let me explain the nature of creativity. If we are creative and find something to enjoy, we could also enjoy the opposite aspect.
For example, too much and too little are the opposites. However, if we can enjoy the state of too much, we can also have fun with too little.
If we like building a tiny house, having many materials will make us joyful. We can imagine our ideals and select the best materials. On the other hand, even if we have a few materials, we can also enjoy it because we can be creative. We consider what is essential and effective.
It applies to many resources, such as money, time, or tools. Creating something while ensuring enough time is fun, but a time trial would also be joyful. Using various cooking utensils makes cooking fun, but trying to cut everything only with a single knife would be challenging.
If we enjoy one side, we often can have fun on the opposite side. Too much and too little are the same in that it is out of balance. That is the nature of creativity. In other words, creativity is an activity to use the imbalance.
My problem: how to stay overnight affordably
In my case, I had to leave my current house. In my mind, I already determined the city to live in. That made me plan how to move. I would have to send several pieces of furniture and luggage. However, sending those items would take a little time. I had to stay overnight somewhere.
Although I could use a hotel, I felt it was a waste because the quality of the rooms was not worth the price.
That made me think of how to stay overnight. I could stay in a new home with no furniture, but it would be in December. It would be too cold without bedding items. I thought of many ways, such as taking a blanket and getting by, or wearing many winter clothes.
However, it would be in December and cold. I need to keep warm during the night. That made me consider how to stay overnight comfortably.
The emergency supplies
When I was sorting my luggage, the emergency supplies caught my eye. It contained survival tools. Although I like abundance, I also like survival with limited things.
At that moment, I noticed I could use it. With a thin emergency blanket, I could secure my body temperature even without bedding tools, even in the empty next home. I could also try foods and tools. It would be the best opportunity to simulate a survival situation. In addition, I would reduce the amount of luggage to carry with me.
That made me fun. I found a way to enjoy the situation while being frugal.
Now I am going to use it when I move to a new home. I hope I will have a good time.
Conclusion
That is an example of creativity through my recent experience.
Too much and too little are the same in that they are out of balance. Creativity is an activity to enjoy imbalances.
This idea might make it easier to accomplish our goals while having fun.
