So I’m starting to get into this thing called rucking. It’s basically walking with weights on. In my case I’m using a backpack, but you can do it with anything (dumbbells, weighted vest, sand bags). Walking and hiking by themselves are very fun and rewarding, but if you want to take it up an extra […]

Where Did All This Stuff Come From? Again!
So as of this post, I’m in the middle of doing the “MinsGame”, fully known as the Minimalist Game. If you’re not aware of this game it is where you get rid of 1 thing on day 1 of the month (any month of your choosing) and then as the days in the month go […]
My On and Off Relationship With Social Media
So this is probably my third or fourth blog about social media and about how I’m not using it anymore. I get rid of it and then I download the apps back onto my phone and now here I am again telling you that I got rid of my social media apps…AGAIN! It’s hard because […]
Discipline Equals Freedom | Jocko Willink
Even when it comes to words, minimalism can be so profound. Just like these 3 words… (Above is a patch I bought from Jockostore.com) No….not I love you, but “discipline equals freedom.” This is coined by a former Navy SEAL named Jocko Willink.

My EDC Is Too Much

As an ongoing struggle to be more and more minimal, wanted to see if I really needed to carry a backpack everyday, which I had been doing pretty much doing…forever. I have to say, […]

As minimalists, we are constantly scrutinizing our possessions and getting rid of things and stuffs that are useless to us or […]
Goodwill. Goodbye
I think that the first step you should try doing is selling your things and stuff. I’ve done the eBay thing and still doing it. Also, with my sneaker collection I used Kixify. It’s a good thing that we get a little money on our minimalist journey. We are trying to minimize, but at also […]
Why Minimalism? (My) Truth
The truth. Well actually let me first start with this…I love the fact that being a minimalist, it gives us more meaning in our lives with our relationships and increases the value of the things that we do possess, but I must say, this is only an added benefit for me as a minimalist. (Sunset […]
Alerts and Notifications Be Gone
One of the things I recently did to de-clutter my life is turn off all of my notifications on my cell phone. I think we are all aware (or maybe not) that we check our phones consistently or we are just on our phones all the time. One of the things that made me look […]
Minimal Travel
Just in case you missed my previous post about my trip to New York…I just recently came back from a trip to New York 😉 Anyways, this was my first trip since I went minimalist and that definitely made my travel experience different from any other. Different in a good way that is and in […]
