Got Minimalist?
Up until recently, I’ve never gave much thought to minimalism and how it could benefit my life. Although growing up I was raised in a ‘mottainai‘ culture, I never connected its ideals with minimalism. Stumbling across blogs such as mnmlist, aspects of minimalistic living resonated well with me and I began to implement the simple pieces of minimalism to my work and living space to great success.
I will be sharing the productivity boost I gained from applying minimalist principles to my workspace in a future post, but today I’d like to share a free eBook by Dave Damron the author of The Minimalist Path and LifeExcursion.

Check it out as he discusses 7 ways you can apply minimalism into your life:
• Limit Excess – Do all that you can to limit the stuff in your life that takes up unnecessary time and/or space.
• Limit Clutter – Manage the few items you have by keeping them orderly.
• Minimalist Thinking – With whatever aspect of your life, ask yourself what action a minimalist would take. (excerpt)

Since I’ve taken on a new corporate position, I look forward to seeing your future post about minimalizing your workspace! I’ve seen so many people get bogged down with details in a work environment, that I am interested in your thoughts on this.

Minimalist thinking is the hardest part! Would you say you’re very successful in being a minimalist in thought?
@Nazim: I’ve just been introduced to minimalism, so everything is still new, but I’ve been loving the ideas. I started with minimizing my workspace as a first step.
Ken,
Great post about achieving a simpler life!
I would add one thing to you already incredible post: limit information (TV, mail, email, newsletter subscription, RSS feeds, etc…).
All this creates quite a bit of noise in our life and in our head.
