Is I've been playing excerpts from an audio both their narrated for them analyse, and this baby? last of it. For the week. We will try to find a thanksgiving or black Friday post for tomorrow and Friday will see this will be the last time, at least for a while that I mentioned that you can get one of the minimalist audio books for free was a trial of audible.

An exit from all your book central essays by the minimalist. Don't upgrade The newest latest graze version product axes available. Today, it's only ex dollars and it does all the cool things you never knew it could do. If you act now, product acts will change your life. We know we don't need part acts to live a life even if we really really want it

We know we don't have to buy the new Iphone when our old phone works just fine. We know we need a new car just because the old one is in a shiny. We know we don't need the latest version of software Ipad, television, laptop or gadget to make us happy Africa to spend millions of dollars to create a sense of urgency to make us trouble over their products, but we can refuse to play that game We can turn down the noise we can focus on. We have, instead of what we don't have we. We have everything we need sure Sunday, things eight or wear out over time, and when that happens, we are left with at least three options go without this option is almost taboo and in our culture is seen as radical too many people I wanna go without when I could just buy a new one. Often this option, is the best option, though, when we go without forces us to question our stuff? It forces us to discover whether or not we need it has sometimes discover live without it is actually better than before. Repair it. So

again, a surly go without, but running out and procuring product acts. We can attempt to repair the item first, even by a new cars because the brakes needs to be replaced. Would you the same goes for many other household items, replace it as a last resort. We can replace things But even when we do this, we can do so mindfully we can used items we can buy products from local businesses and often. In downgrade, so how if necessary, to level fulfilling life. Reprogramming that which, by George reveals Melbourne, must one unplug, reality to properly observed reality, going without a forum for an instant period of time seems to be the modern day equivalent of a vow of silence two months ago started to eighty six, my phone for sixty days as an experiment just to see what would happen to see whether my world would keep spinning people were shot somewhere, appalled

some people are flat. I worried about me I'll skip over use, matrix preferences about unplugging from them bed and simply say I learn more about myself. Then I intended I couldn't have done so. Disconnecting for awhile, without stepping back and actually thinking about my life in a deliberate on in Europe. The way this is what I learned during my two months of quiet time. We have weird expectations, I realize I needed to get rid of myself on for a while, and I felt pressure to respond text messages, email and social media throughout the day we all have different expectations. You might like someone to respond in an hour, so analysis might expect a response in ten minutes, another person, my stuff the same day. These expectation Hence our arbitrary. When I eliminated my ability to immediately respond, I was able to toss everyone's expectations into the ether meaningful conversations without the banal If ephemeral, tax conversations, my real face to face conversations, have become more meaningful worm spending time with my

closest friends and loved ones. I now have more to discuss in earnest. I enjoy these Relations more than ever, people are supportive and understanding when we make changes in our lives were often afraid of what people will think will they think crazy, stupid or out of touch people are The support of an understanding than we think, particularly the people closer to us, especially we discuss our changes with them and let them know we're making the changes we can live happier. Lives are true, friends want us to be happy, we programme ourselves without knowing in our daily activities, have a profound impact on our future cells are used to reach him library? Every few minutes, no matter where I was even at the colonel the phone. Wasn't with me, I programme myself to reach for it what an obscene to which we can reprogram ourselves. Similarly, we can change these paths When we remove a habit from our lives, we become acutely aware of how that have affected our lives. This is true for any habit: smoky

over eating, etc. It took twenty two For me to reprogram the two which twenty two days, pausing noticing why I was twitching after point two days. I no longer felt the urge to immediately react. I no longer felt the need to pacify myself with transitory activities. I text being or respond to emails during every moment of quota. Unquote, downtime downtime is a misnomer. We used, have precious interstitial zones and which we could find momentary, solace, airports Chagall and waiting rooms and other transience sanctuaries in which we could Baskin Reverie no longer is this the case. However, one seems to be on their phones ring these fleeing moments. They are attempting to be more productive for interactive, but stopping thinking is far more productive than fiddling with our phones. The world goes on with cell phone without the internet, without a tv the world keeps turning. You can test anything for a short period I am to see whether it right for you, it's not hard to give up anything when you lose

in the real world. There was this. Your time when I actually needed my phone in the last two months sure there were I have one, it was inconvenience times when I had to fight through the frustration, but there a small price to pay. Reprogram the twitch. Yes, all back to using a cell phone for practical purposes. Gps, necessary phone calls the dictionary out by Miss dearly a pad and a few other useful apps value, utterly differently going forward are not going to use. To check email anymore, I'm not gonna, use it to send tax measures. While standing at a urinal going to rely on as my primary means of interacting with the world around me myself on you this will be more intentional them before my phone will be a tool, not an appendage.
