This letter is for you...

Dear Brother, Dear Sister,

 This letter is for you...

Game lovers, drawers, procrastinors we are alike. like you, I fall easily in the proscratination trap, lazy lands and distractions. For my numerous pitfalls, I ask myself myriad of questions on why I did not do what I was supposed to. Guilt, self-critiscism haunted me as well as this question:

 Why are you?...Here?... Like that? 

 To forget my pain, I fed it with SIMS, video games, drawings, alcohol and television.

 Hopefully I found a solution and cannot wait to share it with you.

 First bring together two ideas which appear at first to be in opposition: 

 Life is, but a dream {12-D GAME} said Beyonce. 

 Like any hero in your favourite game, you need three tools:
- A mission pad
- An Appointment pad
- A thought pad

 A mission pad is nothing else than a TO-DO LIST. The tool is ultimately for incremental design ;), you write new task which you need to accomplish in order to get to the next level of your life plan. Small tips > use back and front of your pad to separate tasks related to your professional life from your personal life > Draw some tick boxes, cross them if you've started a task. Fill them up when you have completed it.

 An Appointment pad is nothing else than an AGENDA for better anticipating your position in space and time. Alike a video games, we move from place to place, the agenda just remind us where we have to be at different stage of our journey.

 Together, the mission and appointment pad remind us where we have to be, what we have to do, ask and accomplish.

 Finally the thought pad. It is better to separate thoughts, meeting notes from things to do and appointment. Use your thought pad to write your new ideas, questions, drawing brainstorming. If they are some tasks appearing in your thoughts, copy them back in your mission pad. Why? Because any thoughts are quickly forgetten in the midst of the thought pad.

 Here we go, I hope those little words inspired you and you will know how to apply it.
Good luck in your journey

 Your sister, mlg

Blacklist

It may be time to create a blacklist of companies to avoid and definitely refuse to  work for: - Those which are more than 3 miles than my home - Those which does not allow me to work from home - Those which does not allow me to work fewer hours - Those which pollute with no sorry - Those with negative employee reviews - Those which do not design products that are repairable - Those which do not put the wellbeing of their staff first what else, add to the list

Missminimalist , Thank you

I was hooked to missminimalist blogs in the past four days, reading approximately 16 pages of individuals testimonies on how they started and enjoyed their minimalist journey. It opened my eyes on the endless minimalist lifestyles that any of us can implement. I admire the traveller, the spiritualist, the true materialist (as opposed to consumerist), the mindful, the artist, the mum, the dad, the designer who with intention choose to keep the things that add value to his/her life and get rid of the frivolous. Beyond just getting rid of things, there is not participating to our current wasteful society, it is recognising that we are all equal regardless of what we own and finally it is embracing freedom. It is why I love it. I encourage you to have a read/rid, I hope it will inspire you:  http://www.missminimalist.com/

Dream 1

We haven't seen each other for a while. She appeared next to me on the train. We talked about many things, we laughed and smiled. She was happy to see me. She convinced me to come to her place. She wanted to introduce me to her boyfriend. She wanted me to see her family again. Her partner was in bed when we arrived. He looked terribly like her brother. We went to the living room. Her grandmother, father and aunt were in the room. The lights were off. It was dark. The only light in the room was the TV. My heart lighted up when I saw them. I was happy to see them.
