A video about how decluttering isn’t enough to free our life from stuff if we don’t change the way we acquire and keep it all, about how all we buy is futur clutter and about how we already own virtually everything we need and have wanted.

Blablabli blablabla

I sometimes disagree with this video when it comes to frugalism. Frugalism is more than breaking the cycle of overconsumption and over-wanting to consume. But from a simple living perspective, breaking from always wanting more and enjoy the abondance we already have is a clear win.

Decorrelate my hapiness from money (won or spend) is one of my big simple living goals.

Not related to this post here, but personally I’ve chosen to go the dumbphone route because I’m sick of the expectation of needing to be avaliable 24/7 amongst other reasons

I really liked this article. I frowned a bit at “buy a slow-cooker”. “Buy” on a simple living advice? But it got better with a simple recipe and indeed

Simple cooking = simple living

The relationship advice were generally good, which is a lot of compliment for some internet content and I 100% agree on the part about forgiveness.

Decluttering is to me an important part of simple living.
The act of decluttering means to detach ourselves to what we own. Having a declutter space is having a calmer space but also one that is easier to maintain. Preventing clutter from entering our home force us to be more conscious, mindful and purposeful about our consumption.
