Do you practice minimalism? IRL and Online?

I do as of this year. I am trying to cut down on accounts and keep only what I need or actually use. As of today, I have decided to use Apple's downtime feature. I am also pretty successful IRL too.

RE: Minimalism: Do you practice it?

I do sometimes. But one can say at times it may produce a lazy outcome. Being minimal and lazy are 2 different things but can sometimes be closely compared in the same way if you aren't being minimal for a legitimate reason. The way I see it, being minimal is okay if your cutting down on what you don't need.

Only having what you actually need is what is important.

It's apart of making mistakes in life. They say if you make a mistake you can learn from it. If you don't make any mistakes you'll never learn what to avoid in the future. Being minimal isn't always easy for some people. We all have wants that go beyond regular needs. Just like you wanted that iPhone XS, it wasn't being minimal that you bought it. But that's a term widely misconstrued. It's up for interpretation.

I try to. Online, I do not have many sites I go to; the ones I do, I have bookmarked to not forget the url. In life, I don't have many things anyways, but I can always slim down what I do have. Been working on getting stuff that would make my living space a little more efficient.

Whenever I have tight schedule, I will have no choice but to participate in the practice of minimalism because it's the only way that I can be able to get all I need to do done.

If I have the time to do all of them, I will do it and not bother about it. But when it's too hard for me to keep up, I will most likely cut off the irrelevant ones.

It's definitely more easy for me to do it online than offline in real life. I think that getting things done in real life person is always more difficult than online.
