A minimalistic view on life
Today’s materialistic world often urges us to own the latest of everything rather than something that truly means something. Not to say that there is anything inherently wrong with owning things. The problem, however, lies in us giving a quantitative rather than qualitative meaning like “#timefulness” to these materialistic possessions and in turn, forsake our relationships, our personal growth and our dreams. We become unsympathetic, unfeeling and while perpetually thinking “Why can’t I ever get to this place in life?”
How can minimalism solve this?
This is where minimalism comes in. Minimalism is a tool that can assist you in finding freedom. Freedom from fear. Freedom from worry. Freedom from feeling overwhelmed. Freedom from depression. Freedom from the trappings of the consumer culture we’ve built our lives around. Real freedom.
By reducing our distractions, we can concentrate on things that do matter in life, giving us a radical change to a new and improved lifestyle.
So what is minimalism?
The common misconception about minimalism is that there is a set of rules to live by, such as the need to own less than a stipulated number of things, or the need to get rid of all your favourite things to get into the minimalist club. Well, minimalism is not white-walls, small and sparse homes or the need to only use reusables and what not.
Minimalism is defined as a design or style in which the simplest and fewest elements are used to create the maximum effect. It is about owning and choosing what adds value and meaning to your life (as well as the lives of the people you care about) and removing the clutter that stops you from achieving those goals. After all, our time on earth is very limited.
Getting started with minimalism
Here are a few starting tips to help you get started in your journey to living more freely:
- Learn to say no to events and agendas that do not bring value to your life
- Selling or donating stuff that you do not need periodically to create more space - #DoesthisSparkJoy
- Simplify your spending with budget systems to keep track of your finances
- Discarding duplicates like similar shirts and similar electronics.
- Cutting back on social media, which is a huge catalyst to our materialistic wants
- Designate a place for everything so that everything has its purpose and place
Remember that minimalism is not a project that can be completed in a window of time. It is a lifestyle that requires a constant need to stay focused on organising your priorities and keeping your mind and physical space clear for the things that really do matter. While these tips might be small, sustaining them is always the real mission at hand.

Just received today- gorgeous sapphire blue face and leather strap - 32mm. Better than picture. I chose this watch because of the quality of August Berg and the fact they give back to others.
Just received the petite Strawberry Thief watch from August Berg. I love the design--William Morris is a favorite designer of mine--and the watch is very attractive! The watchband is short however and I wish it were an inch or so longer. I would recommend the watch if you're on the fence, but you might consider one of the larger bands they provide if you have medium/larger wrists.
I received my August Berg x Morris & Co Petite Willow Bough watch today. It is even more stunning than on the website!
I wanted a versatile watch I could wear both to work and in the evening; and I prefer my jewellery to be on the smaller/more delicate side.
The mesh band is beautiful and comfortable on the wrist; and the 3 closure clasp means I feel very confident it won’t fall off!
The Morris & Co design on the watch face is both beautiful & subtle; with the crystals adding just the right hint of sparkle.
The watch arrived in perfect condition & beautifully boxed.
The fact that every watch purchase contributes to children’s education in Asia & Africa makes the watch not only a beautiful investment, but money well spent.
Just recived mine as a NY present from my husband. It's so nice watch! I think I will ask another one for my BD in April
:). It was easy to order it and delivery to Canada was no problem and on time
Watch is fine and is what I expected for the price. Unfortunately the hour needle has scuffed polish or a greasy finger print marring it. Would have been easy to avoid if QC was better. Expected more for a quartz watch at this price.
