I Challenge You to Clear the Clutter (While Being Lazy)
I cover minimalism on this blog quite a lot. It is almost like I write these articles to myself, to remind me of great advice I should consider.

What‘s In My Bag – Minimalist Student Edition
I love to take as few items with me as possible. Heavy weight backpacks all day long are not really enjoyable. Glad thing is, we live in the digital age and note-taking has never been as easy. For the most part I don’t even need to write down notes on paper (thanks to English teaching… Continue reading What‘s In My Bag – Minimalist Student Edition
Minimalism and Daily Planning
One of the most useful skills I learned attending university was how to schedule my day and manage a lot of time-consuming tasks within a small available time frame (which was even more cut down since I commuted for most of my studies).
