Fill your life with stories to tell, not stuff to show.
The simplicity/minimalism movement is a beautiful community. And I enjoy any opportunity to promote writing that encourages people to live more by owning less.
So fix yourself a nice warm cup of coffee or tea. Find a quiet moment this weekend. And enjoy some encouraging words to inspire more simplicity in your life today.
House Always Messy? Just Blame it on the Second Law of Thermodynamics | ABC Science by Suzannah Lyons. The more items we have, the higher the probability of them being disordered.
How Minimalism Reduces Overwhelm | Medium by Joy Stevens. Just one of my strategies for coping with day to day life.
I Don’t Feel Like Buying Stuff Anymore | BuzzFeed News by Anne Helen Petersen. Our economy is built on Americans of all class levels buying things. What happens when the ability — and desire — to do so goes away?
Donation sites see an influx of drop-offs as they reopen | KRQE Albuquerque by Gabrielle Burkhart. Donations are up 40% over this time last year
About Joshua Becker
Thanks, your blog reminds me of the show “hoarders buried alive”, but only they weren’t books! Everything’s fine as the articles you refer to are OK. I did do more soul searching just after I watched Joshua’s video on “ How to reset your life” speaks more to me. Great food for thoughts. ?
That BuzzFeed article about not feeling like buying stuff anymore … extremely spot-on, well-written, and thought-provoking! Thank you for sharing it! Not only did I read it–I studied it!
There’s Nothing More Disheartening than someone promoting another website for money.
I don’t think I read 3 FREE stories from Medium this month but yet to read your article I need to start paying them!
I’m trying NOT to have an more $5 break me!
I just think its wrong to promote readying something that’s asking for $
My Opinion
Linda
y’all right :D)
Thank you kindly for your support and I really find those sources interesting. I careless about how my house look and more about how healthy my environment is now. Sadly, I can’t watch the news anymore. That’s where most of the clutters are :0)
That Anne Helen Peterson piece may be the best article on consumer spending I’ve ever read.
I was waiting for the posting. Thanks!!
