On Living Simply | Kris Yotam

A reverse-chronological log of steps taken toward minimalism, intentional living, and finding the lower bound of what you actually need.

I am sure there is a lower bound to minimalism. I am equally sure that I have not found it. So here I present a reverse chronological list of steps I have taken, and continue to take over the years.

2025

This year my actions are quite a lot more intentional when it comes to the aspects of minimalism, intentional & slow living.

I have started to declutter my time by removing all social media from my phone.
using a android phone with a minimalist launcher
putting phone in greyscale mode
not active on any social media platforms (still have accounts reserved for future use)

Got rid of a host of clothing simplifying my wardribe to the following:
5 pairs of jeans
2 pairs of sweat pants
essentials such as socks, and underwear
White, and Black t-shirts (have not limited the number of these yet)
2 pairs of shoes (black, and beige)

2024

This is the first year you can say I was formally introduced to minimalism. Most of the things done here were along the lines of "meditations", and less action.
