My path in minimalism has been like working with wood. I chopped away
at the bigger stuff at first. But eventually I had to start sanding,
with a fine grit and patience.
Instead of making time consuming purges, I just performed small but
frequent passes. Eventually a result started taking shape. The feeling
of having something to aim for is incredibly fulfilling and empowering.
Eventually I started living that potential result, and then the rest
fell away.
So don’t feel like you have to be down to a very specific place right now.
It took me years and I’m still sanding away, even finer, slowly finding
the right contours to fit my life. Maybe my block of wood is still far
too big, or maybe I sanded off too much somewhere. But I’ll get there,
and so will you.
