So in order to be minimalist, I’ve took up reading Zen Habits and Lifehacker, but they’re mostly full of shit. Most of their articles are top five lists that seem to exist for nothing more than to drive traffic and hipster-Eastern wisdom that somebody picked up while browsing the New Age section at Barnes & Nobles. It’s a nice try but decorating your house in faux Japanese knick knacks and using Coca Cola to clean your toilet bowl isn’t going to solve your problem. You’ve got too much stuff. I’m guilty of it. So I’ll never fault you for it either, but retweeting Leo Babuta isn’t going to help you. Cause you’re just cluttering up everyone’s Twitter feeds.
