Simplicity Over Minimalism
Terminology is important. Words take on meaning and people perceive them differently. I want you to take a moment and think about everything that your mind associates with the word minimalism. Do you think of having one fork, spoon, and one knife in your kitchen drawer? Do you think of deprivation or lacking? Does it cause you to feel guilt about having too much of something? Does it make you wonder if you have hoarding tendencies? Does the concept of minimalism scare you? Is it overwhelming? Maybe this term makes you think of Marie Condo's 2019 Netflix series on how to tidy up. Or, maybe you have listened to some podcasts or read some articles from the Emmy-nominated Netflix stars and New York Times–bestselling authors Joshua Fields Millburn and Ryan Nicodemus who call themselves The Minimalists. Let your thoughts and feelings about the word minimalism settle in for a moment.
