IS THE SELF-HELP INDUSTRY HARMING PEOPLE?

May 17, 2021May 17, 2021 minimumman

What was once a sparse and shameful section of the bookstore is now littered with pages of different ways to improve our lives. Creased books, over-leafed by eager customers, cover quotes claiming ‘advice we all need to hear’. Coffee machines … Continue reading IS THE SELF-HELP INDUSTRY HARMING PEOPLE?

OVERTHINKING & MINIMAL THINKING

April 24, 2021April 12, 2021 minimumman

Thought is a uniquely human process. Our capacity for linear and lateral thinking process, logical movement between topics, and engagement with multiple thoughts at any one time, seems to separate us from other animals. We are capable of processing complex … Continue reading OVERTHINKING & MINIMAL THINKING

THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #16

April 9, 2021April 7, 2021 minimumman

Some weeks are chaotically full, packed with moments which change us and inform our lives in meaningful ways. All too often we are bombarded with information, too much, too many times of the day. News jingles and dramatic headlines frame … Continue reading THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #16

TOXIC PRODUCTIVITY

February 27, 2021February 26, 2021 minimumman

A busy scene: checklists, schedules which span the whole day, from the dewy morning to the midnight sky- a sense of urgency, to get things done and to conquer the vague concept of time. Productivity is everywhere. But, usually, when … Continue reading TOXIC PRODUCTIVITY

HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

February 24, 2021February 14, 2021 minimumman

Often, we think too much. We enter that great and vast chasm of concern which seems to drag us down into it. We pretend that we’re somewhere else, we run from it as though we have somewhere else to go, … Continue reading HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

HOW CHILDHOOD GIFTS IMPACT ADULT ATTACHMENTS

February 22, 2021February 14, 2021 minimumman

That fleeting break from the overwhelm of everyday school life; the rough days when homework seemed impossible. The way that the days felt long, and drowsy. The soft grass in summer, the treats of ice cream and beach trips. That … Continue reading HOW CHILDHOOD GIFTS IMPACT ADULT ATTACHMENTS

THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #8

February 12, 2021February 11, 2021 minimumman

Some weeks we question what we know, we try to find new ways of thinking. To break free from the old ways, to forge new paths. New landscapes necessitate new paths, some days we have to cut free the ties … Continue reading THE MINIMUM WEEKLY #8

REDEFINING LUXURY

February 10, 2021February 1, 2021 minimumman

Thousands of acres, square feet of land stretching on into the middle distance. The hum of the limousine, the roar of the sports car, that smell of a luxury leather interior, freshly cleaned. Crisp linen suits on matching hangers. Gold … Continue reading REDEFINING LUXURY

LIVING WITH HOARDERS AS A MINIMALIST

February 8, 2021January 31, 2021 minimumman

The shelter of a bedroom, a space of self-definition and comfort. Outside, a slow burning chaos of bags; carpets and beds hidden by clothing and stacks of papers. A house is not a home without bookshelves, they think. And so … Continue reading LIVING WITH HOARDERS AS A MINIMALIST

WHEN MINIMALISM LOOKS LIKE MATERIALISM

February 6, 2021January 31, 2021 minimumman

We rattle through websites and videos full of wooden laminate flooring and monochrome colour schemes. We read through the essentials of how to be this, how to be that. How to be something else. We think that minimalism is something … Continue reading WHEN MINIMALISM LOOKS LIKE MATERIALISM
