COMBINING MINIMALISM & SUSTAINABILITY

March 6, 2021February 24, 2021 minimumman

Sustainability. That vague concept, conjuring images of metal water bottles, hemp fabrics, anti-plastic movements. News reports, climate change, the horror of unsustainable choices and their effects on our world. It can feel uncomfortable to think about sustainability, and our place … Continue reading COMBINING MINIMALISM & SUSTAINABILITY

WHAT RISKS WILL YOU TAKE?

March 1, 2021February 26, 2021 minimumman

We talk about taking risks as though it’s some grand act of bravery. A venture into an unknown void which takes thought and courage. We talk about taking risks as though risks are a rare part of our overall existence. … Continue reading WHAT RISKS WILL YOU TAKE?

TOXIC PRODUCTIVITY

February 27, 2021February 26, 2021 minimumman

THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #10

February 26, 2021February 25, 2021 minimumman

The strong brewed coffee scent in the morning, with dappled sunlight shining in through the net curtain. Sometimes, the rush of news feels far away, and for a minute life just happens. The planes whir in the sky outside, and … Continue reading THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #10

HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

February 24, 2021February 14, 2021 minimumman

Often, we think too much. We enter that great and vast chasm of concern which seems to drag us down into it. We pretend that we’re somewhere else, we run from it as though we have somewhere else to go, … Continue reading HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

HOW CHILDHOOD GIFTS IMPACT ADULT ATTACHMENTS

February 22, 2021February 14, 2021 minimumman

That fleeting break from the overwhelm of everyday school life; the rough days when homework seemed impossible. The way that the days felt long, and drowsy. The soft grass in summer, the treats of ice cream and beach trips. That … Continue reading HOW CHILDHOOD GIFTS IMPACT ADULT ATTACHMENTS

THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #9

February 19, 2021February 18, 2021 minimumman

In the weeks between winter and spring, the temperature cracks a few degrees higher and brings the falling rain along with it. Great deluges crash at the windows as the TV echoes it’s ever-dramatic news stories. The minimum weekly is … Continue reading THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #9

HOW TO KNOW YOURSELF

February 17, 2021February 6, 2021 minimumman

Life is packed full. Tyre tracks in the sand, only to be rushed away with the tide. We run alongside the speeding truck of life, thinking that if only we can keep up, we will become who we’re meant to … Continue reading HOW TO KNOW YOURSELF

HOW MINIMALISM HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF

February 13, 2021February 2, 2021 minimumman

When we reach something bordering on adulthood, that steep cliff edge between our teens and our late twenties, we think that we must understand ourselves by now. Words in social media bios sum up everything about us in less than … Continue reading HOW MINIMALISM HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND YOURSELF

WHEN MINIMALISM LOOKS LIKE MATERIALISM

February 6, 2021January 31, 2021 minimumman

We rattle through websites and videos full of wooden laminate flooring and monochrome colour schemes. We read through the essentials of how to be this, how to be that. How to be something else. We think that minimalism is something … Continue reading WHEN MINIMALISM LOOKS LIKE MATERIALISM
