Life without stuff: choosing a minimalist lifestyle

• wurso 14y ago
  I believe that living a "minimalist" lifestyle today is easier than ever today, and will get progressively easier over time - think about not owning physical media, easy to use car sharing services and urbanization. Living in a nearly empty apartment might not be considered that strange in a few years.

    You are almost certainly correct about material stuff minimalism, but I wonder about my head. I live pretty minimalist outwardly, but my browser has 40+ tabs open, I have 100+ unanswered emails, there are dozens of apps and platforms that I should "check out", and oh so many articles that I've bookmarked "to read later." Not to mention the hundreds of random files on my desktop. I feel all this is cluttering my attention and my time, and need a path to minimalism in my online world too.

      I can empathize with you. In comparison to others, I own very few material items. However, digitally I am not sparse in the least. Digital materialism is something I have yet to see be brought up; it would be interesting to see what views people have regarding it.

  Oddly enough everytime I read about minimalism I get enthusiastic and start thinking about what minimalistic stuff I should buy. I fear I may be a desperate case.
