Minimalism
There is something about minimalism as a theme that appeals to me. I honestly think we have too many things, and striving for the next hurts us more than we might think.
These are not unique ideas at all, but they resonate with me. I’ve always preferred to buy a few quality things rather than a lot of cheap things, and in this day and age, I think it’s getting more and more important, and it seems like more people are getting on board.
I do not, in any shape or form, qualify as a minimalist yet, but there are some interesting ideas in the articles below.
That applies to both the physical space I live in and the digital space where I work.
The first thing I did years ago was to get rid of most of the alerts and notices on my phone. I felt more disturbed and unfocused each day when something beeped and blinked for attention every 40 seconds.
So, start there. Disable notifications on your phone and computer and start digging into minimalism with these articles.
