I'm planning to complete my first book "Mr Extreme Minimalist" on our HIVE blockchain by the end of 2021. Eventually my story will take shape and I'll continue rearrange my writing in the background while sharing daily vlog with 3speak.
If you own a car you need time to maintain. I've owned 12 different cars throughout my life so far. Once I started to take simplifying my life seriously, I've come to realise how much time I spend on keeping my car clean, keeping up with MOT, Tax, Insurance etc. Thanks to sharing bikes, uber, public transport and my love for walking made me say goodbye to cars.
If you own a TV, It takes your time away without even you realising it.
If you own many items, it takes much time to keep everything clean and tidy.
If you own many items, Sometimes it takes time to find the things you're looking for.
If you own many shoes, You need time to decide which shoe to wear.
If you own many bank accounts/credit cards, It takes your time to manage it.
The point I'm trying to make is, when you have less things in your do list the less time freedom you have. Because I only own 21 items, it takes a few minutes a day to organise my living space in the way I wanted. The other point is when you familiarise with the elimination process you develop skills to focus and priorities your work and other important things in your life.
Unfortunately you can accumulate your possessions, but your time is limited. As a minimalist I'm learning to live moment to moment and enjoy the journey called life. I've all the things I need right now to live and if anything changes I can buy/borrow/rent and I'll still try to maintain one in one out policy with my 21 items. Because there are only 21 millions Bitcoin, it's the most valuable crypto, I value every single item I own and appreciate them.
You have to find your own minimalism. Maybe you don’t think you qualify as a minimalist unless all your possessions fit into a single backpack, or you sleep in a yoga mat. Luckily there are
no such requirements. Most definitely if you could cultivate a skill of identifying the things that sucks your energy and are able to let it go then you'll be left with more energy and more time to enjoy life.
I appreciate your upvotes, comments, shares. I do read your comments and replies with hive.blog and LeoFinance.io. Please note I've stopped checking HIVE mentions. I try not to follow any rules for my Twitter journey.

Wonderful Nathan! I to am progressing my life towards a minimalist lifestyle. I noticed that when I was a kid I had so much more time and way less to stress about. I had to ask myself why that was? Seriously right!? Stress kills!
I realized that it was all the stuff cluttering my life that was the source of all the added stress, financial considerations, and loss in time.
I decided right then and there that more was not more. Less was more.
I have now since rolled out a plan I call -1 or +1. I get rid of one thing a day and list one thing a day for sale. It really does feel like I'm winning my life and freedom back every time I successfully do a -1 or +1! My focus is improving and the priorities I actually care about are coming together.
So my friend... You and I are on the same journey!
I'm excited to read your book when/as it comes out and I look forward to continuing to follow along with you here on Hive!

One of the best posts I have read and seen this year, I tell you my experience, a few years ago I managed to build my house with great effort, but the same day I finished it, that day something inside me cried a lot. That was my freedom, I cried because I felt that now I had something that tied me in some way, that was going to cause me concern and was not going to allow my mobility so easily, in fact, today with the pandemic I have a year without going to the place where it is, this has brought me concerns and expenses that I had not anticipated and yes, some anguish that it is not invaded or something like that. The truth is, it is not about not having anything material, but having what is necessary to give you peace and the freedom to do what makes you happy. I loved your post and I share everything you say. A hug.

Inner peace and freedom are underrated.
Looking forward to that book man.
I'm buying the first copy, called it!!!!
;)
I appreciate it Jon.
Just think about what social media websites and news websites want you to do. They are all designed for maximum engagement. That means they want to keep you on the sites for as long as possible. In other words they are time vampires.
If I have many items of things, I have to manage these. It costs my time. All crypto investors like bitcoin. 1 bitcoin worth a lot of dollars. It is amazing.
Everything is a tradeoff.
You should be careful what how we trade our time.
I'm starting to love minimalism it actually makes my life less complicated and more organized. I'd also love to apply that in my hive and crypto journey.
The beautiful thing about minimalism is that once you've mastered with material possessions, then you can start applying into everything in your life including crypto journey.
Good luck with your minimalism journey!
