Hello @discoveringarni,
Awesome article 🙌
I agree with you about the little distractions.
Over time I realised that it's not all OCD (well, c,d, o) as I like to call it. It saves you time when you are organised. Having the kitchen counter and sink clear is one household practice that I like. As far as I am concerned, there are only two things to do with dirty utensils: wash them or throw them away. Then clear the space, in preparation for the next meal. I HATE cleaning and cleaning right before I start preparing and cooking a meal. I will break items, not by intention, but my mind does not accept having to do those tasks at that time.
In general, life is about creating space. Something it took me a long while to realise. In yoga classes, the teacher is always saying 'it's all about creating space in our bodies."
When I took that approach off the mat and applied it to my life overall, I felt better.
I am drafting a post, that I connect with this on the levels of how our work-life, duties, and responsibilities can filter into our personal lives and change us.
I thank you for sharing these ideas with us.
PS. That TV cabinet is so refreshing to look at. I struggle to focus and watch television especially if anything is distracting around it. In your living room, I think I could focus on the screen, with such organisation.
Hi Camille,
Thank you, I'm glad we decided to take this one with us to our current home. I will share furniture stories next time of the treasured items we had lost in the typhoon.
Haha, yes wash them or throw them away. That's something I remember clearly well, you always had a clean kitchen counter and floors. Everywhere in fact. I do follow your tip on carrots preservation whenever we purchased more than planned. Looking forward to reading your views and experiences on the connections and minimalism's impact on work-life duties and responsibilities. Happy Tuesday!
