ohsnapitschelz:
Don’t try to read other people’s minds. Don’t make other people try to read yours. Communicate.
Be polite, but don’t try to be friends with everyone around you. Instead, spend time nurturing your relationships with the people who matter most to you.
Your health is your life, keep up with it….
For such a long list you can summarize everything of this in one sentence:...

mnmal:
I think this summarizes what I had been trying to do all this time and what I learned: practical minimalism.
Frank wrote an incredible piece. A must read:
There’s no name for this way of thinking, but if I had to steal a term, I’d use Merlin Mann’s Appropriatism. It’s not minimalism, it’s not maximalist, it’s just-right-ism. Goldilocks was on to something. The idea sits somewhere in...
