9 Things We Should Never Minimize
Lisa Avellan of Simple and Soul.
As minimalists, we strive for less stuff to experience more life. We learn how to detach from our possessions, limit technology, set boundaries with our commitments, and manage our finances with more intention. Our schedules get pared down to the most important appointments, we open our calendars for family time, meeting with a friend, reading, or pursing a passion. Simplicity becomes our goal.

“How can this make my life easier?”
“Will this cause more freedom or hold me back?”
Simplicity takes more intention than renting a storage unit, so we learn to value the weight of every decision. The value of an item or experience becomes more than a price tag or a great story to tell at a cocktail party. Minimalism is not for the half-hearted.

Sometimes This Time Really Is Different
Notes From the Field By James Hickman (Simon Black / Sovereign Man) September 21, 2026
