After many years both working towards and working in the IT industry I finally made the decision to move to a more hands on job. This was primarily to get away from toxic office culture and politics. However it also enabled me to become more autonomous and greatly increase my job satisfaction. Ideally my long term goal is to work for myself.
This was one of the many catalysts during my life that have lead me to focus on a Less But Better lifestyle. Many view this as minimalism and simply an aesthetic choice, however it is far from it and can encompass and improve almost all aspects of life. With the way humans have treated the planet (extremely poorly), you could safely argue it is what everyone in the developed world should be striving towards.
My vision for this site is a ‘how to’ on life covering anything and everything I have grappled with which may help someone else with their decisions or even prompt thought.
I view it as more dynamic than a blog, which I will update pages/posts as I progress.
I am constantly researching what interests me and I strive to focus on proven science, listening to those who are experts in their field and lacking that, at least exercise my version of common sense as to what seems correct. For this reason the comments are currently disabled as I don’t care about the average opinion, and you shouldn’t either. This site is simply my current view on life, do and think whatever you want but maybe this will help if you are of a similar mindset.
Less But Better (LBB) re. this website:
- Care less about what others opinion and focus on proven research
- Spend less time moderating forums/posts, and more time living life
Reasons to live LBB in no particular order:
- Happiness
- Spending time and money on what I want e.g. family
- Caring for the environment – Less waste and resource usage
- Simplifying life in general (less stress)
- Frugality (save money)
- Minimizing what i don’t want e.g. working for the man
- Get the most out of what you want in life for the least
