Cleaning Up With the Minimalist Experiment

Monday, March 1st, 2010

I’ve jumped into the Minimalist Experiment over the weekend.
Even after spending far too much time reading I wasn’t quite sure where to start. I wandered around the apartment, trying to decide. It occurred to me that I would do best with a neatened starting point. I have a tendency to leave a trail of clutter [...]

Minimalist Links and Resources

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

After writing out a big, long list of links that I thought might be helpful, it occurred to me that a series about minimalism probably doesn’t need every link that I could possibly find. So I went back through and deleted the links that I felt were the least helpful.
You don’t have to follow all [...]

The Minimalist Experiment

Friday, February 26th, 2010

Do you ever think that your life is too complicated? That you have too much stuff? That you don’t have enough time for the truly important things in your life? I do.
Over the next month, I’m going to remedy this as I try the Minimalist Experiment.
Minimalism seems to be a theme that I have been [...]

Read Something Out of Your Comfort Zone

Friday, August 21st, 2009

I am an avid reader (who has been frustratingly without time for pleasure reading here recently.) With a wide range of interests, I have far too many options when it comes time to choose the next books to read. Even with this many options, I frequently find myself reading similar types of material. In order [...]

Back in the Saddle

Monday, August 17th, 2009

Nope, it’s not horse-back riding… I’m back on my bicycle, and it feels good! (so long as the hill is not too steep or long, of course.)
Until about 4 days ago, I hadn’t ridden my bicycle since December. It’s kinda hard to pack a bicycle in a suitcase (especially since I don’t have a folding [...]

Photo Scavenger Hunt – Redeveloped!

Monday, May 4th, 2009

Nicole has announced another photo scavenger hunt, so I thought I’d jump in again. I definitely enjoyed the last one and expect this one to be just as good.
What is a Photo Scavenger Hunt?
For you new readers, a photo scavenger hunt is exactly what it sounds like; a scavenger hunt where, instead of bringing [...]

Watch the Sunrise

Wednesday, April 29th, 2009

Just like a sunset, sunrises provide an opportunity to see one of nature’s most frequent wonders. Watching the sun rise can give you a sense of fresh beginnings and is a wonderful way to start the day. It requires a bit of planning, however.
You need to know:

what time the sun comes up
a good place to [...]

Chase a Sunset

Monday, April 27th, 2009

How often do you take the time to really appreciate a beautiful sunset? Do you do more than look for a few seconds and comment/think how beautiful it is before you continue whatever you were doing? This is something that I often have a hard time with and am trying to work on.
I have heard [...]

Take Up An Old Challenge

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009

Do you remember these things? I had one when I was younger and finally, out of frustration, put it back together by peeling off the stickers and putting them where they needed to be.
Recently, I decided that I wanted to finally “beat” this toy and requested one for Christmas. “It will be a good [...]

Reach Out to Someone

Monday, April 20th, 2009

What do you do when you are driving aroudn town on your tractor, can’t find your friends, and are bored? If you are a particular young Finnish man*, you call the local radio station and try to talk your way into a free prize. There are no contests going on, no give-aways currently taking place, [...]
