2021 and Minimalism

What a wonderful way to kick off a new year: a documentary on minimalism! My favorite subject/topic of all time! I mean, besides dance of course ;)

These guys are AWESOME. I highly recommend you check out all they have to offer: a great podcast, numerous books that are extremely helpful, a youtube channel, and two documentaries which are both available on Netflix. I am so incredibly glad they have this doc-o streaming on a platform that is wildly popular because it means the idea will be introduced to literally millions of people who may not have ever considered this lifestyle and philosophy. I hope it inspires people to take a look at their lives, perhaps rethink a thing or two and hopefully downsize in certain areas. 

Remember, this life is about experiences, not things. Take some time this year to focus on having fantastic experiences instead of acquiring mere stuff. This year I am focusing on financial minimalism, which means I will be embracing the concept of "low-buy" (ie: I will not be making any purchases which aren't absolutely essential). I am also tracking my expenses in my bullet journal. If you are interested in these concepts, I highly recommend you check out the blog and youtube channel Use Less. I have included one of her printables in this post to help guide you on your journey to a more minimalist lifestyle.
