Not another fancy story about minimalism

Just a realistic perspective on how to use better your daily energy

I know what you’re thinking: “another pretentious article about how cool minimalism is and how life is better with less”. Well, no. I’m not your average Karen.

Even though I got deep into minimalism for months now, I’m not going to tell you how you’re supposed to live your life to achieve the utmost fulfillment from it. I’m not going to convince you to adopt a one-size-fits-all lifestyle. Minimalism doesn’t come with a universal solution that fits everyone’s existence.

Some people consider it a sort of religion, in its most radical approach, maybe also because of the Netflix documentary, “Making Minimalism”, that recently went viral. Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus, on whose life choices Netflix made a series, also started a global movement called “The Minimalists”, with millions of followers worldwide. They took extreme decisions that upended their lives. Most people can’t afford this approach since it’s quite unrealistic to get rid of everything and squeeze themselves in a strict framework of rules overnight.
