Have you ever noticed minimalists like to repeat themselves? Have you ever noticed minimalists…just kidding. But it’s true. If you look at some other “minimalist” blogs out there, it’s the same rhetoric: declutter this, don’t buy that, simplify here, minimize there, wear only X, thrift shop for Y, blah, blah, […]
It’s that time of year – you go to work with a spring jacket and pants on, then come hometime, you’ve cut those pants into shorts using the company guillotine – pockets exposed of course – and your jacket is tied around your waist as you do your best version of […]
I don’t know about you, but my Facebook feed has been pretty ugly since, well, hard to actually pinpoint an exact date, but I’d say for about a year now at least. I do think congratulations are in order for Facebook though. So congrats Facebook, you’re now exactly like YouTube. The funny […]
Looking for some minimalist life hacks? Ha, who isn’t! Everyone wants to be a minimalist, it’s the cool thing to do.

We all have that friend. You know, the one we’ve been friends with since we were wee lads (or lasses). You grew up together, scraped knees together, got drunk together, and at one point you probably fought one another. As time goes by, you start to learn you’re different from […]
Before we sold all our stuff and moved abroad we had some big decisions to make, which I detail in my book: Sell All Your Stuff and Move Abroad. But to give you a freebie, we basically had to decide if we wanted to sell everything or to put stuff […]
