HOUR 81: Lewis Howes The School Of Greatness podcast, dated 16/11/16 Episode 407: LIVING WITH LESS, The Power of Being a Minimalist with Joshua Fields Millburn.
This is a very cool concept. Joshua is referred to as a Minimalist, meaning he only has possessions in his life that add value or have meaning. This doesn’t mean he lives in a cave or is odd, it just means he chooses to live with less.
For example, he has the internet at work, but not at home and by making this decision, it saves him money, and when he works from home he gets much more done becasue of less distractions. Makes Sense!
He also went without his mobile phone for two months and when he decided to reintroduced it back into his life, he made sure he only installed Apps that added value, such as Uber and Maps, but didn’t install email, or social media apps.
So my takeaway points from this are:
- There are probably a lot of things in our lives that should be removed or at least minimised because they’re a distraction.
- Too often we buy ‘stuff’ to make us feel good, but in reality we know it won’t. They’re just possessions.
A question Joshua asked was this: How would your life change is there was LESS in your life? To put it another way…what areas of your life are you sacrificing to have MORE?
Are you sacrificing time with your family and your health, and your long-term financial future, just so you can have more stuff right now? Think about it!!!!
