The “art of stuff” is the act of undoing. It was the opposite until I had enough as I seldom replaced anything. So this led to my first real issue with stuff. Yes. Our “precious” belongings. Get over it.
Maybe it started earlier than that. During my teenage years I went from 140+ pairs of Nike to less than six. While I never thought twice of my love for hi-tops, I realized only 5% were truly worn. Then, as it switches to “well, what haven’t I worn or used in a long time?” – which ultimately, if you’re willing to follow through, is the key to less. In doing so, a layer of life vanishes that you never knew existed. It was more profound than you can imagine, think of it as a boost of caffeine. Except it doesn’t leave you, that is unless you acquire your old ways again…
Traditionally, two words. Bunched together is what happens at this pace of life. An incredible amount of objectives are present, yet I still have some time. I’d argue my output is optimized as I take on more; business projects, learning a language (Italian), taking DJ lessons (thanks DJ Contrast) and tennis whenever possible. On top of that, simplify my belongings (more about that later).
