It isn’t easy to live simply.
One of the greatest things Google has done is keep the same simple home page.
But don’t think for a second that there isn’t a lot of effort and resources behind that simple look.
It takes absolutely no effort to become cluttered and unorganized. Nobody ever sets aside a day to clutter and mess up their workspace! We set time aside to declutter and straighten our workspaces.
Search and you’ll find a bazillion books on minimalism. There are tons of resources to help you think your closet. Why? Because to scale back requires focus and intentional effort.
Sure, it’s probably a lifelong battle, but it’s one worth fighting.
We own things, and if we aren’t intentional about living simply, eventually those things will own us. Learn from Google — fight hard to maintain simplicity.
Man, that’s a hard row to hoe. I think I live minimally, and I probably do compared to a lot of folks, but I could stand to do a lot more. Not in the sense of clutter, but in doing without. I love what I love but do I need it? Not necessarily. The bad thinks is my hobbies are expensive. I enjoy it but could possibly do without it. Tell you what, we’re selling it all and moving in with you. Move over!
We’d like to have you, but we’ll need to get rid of some stuff to make room first. Like I said, I’ll be fighting this battle for the rest of my life. What I’ve learned so far? Untangling the heart may be easier than uncluttering the house. 😂
