Inspiring Simplicity. Weekend Reads.

Every two weeks, I post a list of inspiring articles to help you on your journey to own less.

I do this for two reasons. First, the journey toward owning less is countercultural and encouragement is helpful. Second, I think it is important to draw attention to other writers, journalists, and creators promoting the benefits of minimalism. The increased exposure is an encouragement to them and important for their publishers to see the interest people have in articles that promote simplicity.

This week, maybe more than any other, I had a hard time narrowing down the articles to share. There were so many good ones! So I’ve expanded the list beyond the usual four articles to six. I hope you don’t mind:

Dying in Style | Simplify Magazine by Audrey Parker. This moving piece was written by Audrey during the final week of her life. The focus is on dying well, by learning to live well. It was written for the December 1 issue of the magazine. Because of the nature of the piece, we have made it available to everyone, with or without a subscription.

Here’s why a New Jersey middle school teacher is wearing the same dress for 100 days | Good Morning America by Hayley FitzPatrick. She started the project in early September to show that people shouldn’t be defined or labeled by the clothing they wear.

10 Situations When We Lose Our Common Sense and Buy Useless Stuff | Bright Side. All of us have probably experienced situations where we’ve entered a grocery store to buy bread and left with bags full of different foods. Why does this happen?

An Inventory of All My Possessions, Before and After I Moved Apartments | The New Yorker by Nicole Boyce. I thought I had a decent grasp on the number of things that I owned. But then I moved, and it became clear that I did not.

Stores Use These Tricks to Get You to Spend Money. Don’t Fall For It. | Vox by Chavie Lieber. Two experts explain the psychology of sales, coupons, and gifting.

Why We Buy More Than We Need | Forbes by Joshua Becker. When you stop to think about it, it becomes a very fascinating question. What thinking would compel somebody to spend money on things they didn’t actually need in the first place?

🎉 Should You Holiday From Job Hunting During The Holidays?

Holiday job search do's and don'ts.

Photo by Kevin Dooley

You might vacation, you might have extended family meals and you might have friends hosting house parties. Enjoy them all and keep these five pointers in mind.

1) Don’t actively job search on a holiday weekend

…unless you live in a country that has a holiday weekend every weekend (I’m looking at you, France every May).

A recent study said that many people get their best ideas in the shower because:

A lot of dopamine is released in our brains. Triggers like exercising, listening to music, and, yes, taking a warm shower, contribute to increased dopamine flow.

We’re relaxed. When we have a relaxed state of mind, we’re more likely to turn attention inwards, able to make insightful connections.

We’re distracted. Distraction gives our brains a break so our subconscious can work on a problem more creatively.

Those conditions should hold true on holiday weekends too.

Not thinking about your job search during the holidays could be the best thing for your job search after the holidays.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

2) Do enjoy the time away

… from your computer screen, job boards, email, application forms, LinkedIn messages to congratulate other people on their new jobs, cover letters, work portfolios, job fairs, followups, references, background checks, networking events, interview preparations, graphology tests, recruiters, job search blogs (ahem) and everything else related to your next paycheck.

3) Don’t be embarrassed to talk about your job search

Millions of people are dealing with the same issues that you are, and millions more will begin to do so in the coming months. It might be uncomfortable and hard, even, but it’s normal and nothing to be ashamed about.

In fact, most of the adults you see or meet during your holiday weekend will have been through more than one job search of their own and will know what you’re going through.

4) Do be prepared with a good answer to “how’s your job search going?”

Person: How’s your job search going?

Me: Honestly I’m just to the point where I think I’m one rejection email away from eating an entire gallon of ice cream on my own

— Austin Ames (@ARSondag) March 28, 2018

One of the reasons people are ashamed to admit they’re job hunting (during the holidays or at all) is because they don’t have good answers to that question, so when they hem and haw, it sounds like they’re not progressing or even sure what to do next.

That might even be true – it was for me on my first and second job searches – but that doesn’t mean you have to leave a bad impression by showing it outright.

Instead, have a good elevator pitch about what you do best and, if people bring it up, casually reply by asking if they know any companies that need people like you.

Mention your most recent job search success, no matter how small, such as an upcoming job interview or a compliment from a recruiter.

And finally…

5) Do bring business cards

Did you know that job seekers need business cards too?

Have simple but professional business cards that say you consult in your industry or area of expertise, and hand them out to those same questioners. They’ll come away impressed, the right way.

Question of the article

Do you find job hunting during the holidays easier or harder? Tell us in the comments.

Practice Generosity with The Hope Effect on Giving Tuesday

If you’ve spent much time reading Becoming Minimalist, you know generosity is a recurring theme.

My life improved dramatically when I stopped accumulating possessions. As a result of that important decision, I discovered greater opportunity to practice generosity—with my money, my time, and my energy. When the pursuit of material possessions is removed, it’s easier to focus on others.

This is a story I’ve heard countless times from people around the world. When people discover minimalism, they also find contentment and generosity. There is a powerful rhythm between the two.

And over the last few years, I’ve seen that generosity from the Becoming Minimalist community. This month marks the three-year anniversary of The Hope Effect—the nonprofit organization we launched in November 2015. This community has supported us from the beginning, and I’m so grateful. The advance from my book contract for The More of Less and The Minimalist Home funded the administrative costs and this community has provided most of the finances needed for the work we are accomplishing.

The Hope Effect’s mission is to change how the world cares for orphans. In developing countries, orphans are frequently placed in institutional care, which can have damaging effects on children. Children raised in institutions often have stunted development and delayed learning abilities.

We know there’s a better way. We know that every child deserves a family.

That’s why we are working to implement family-based orphan care solutions that provide opportunities for children to flourish and thrive. Our model of care is based on smaller homes made up of two parents and 6-8 children. This allows children to receive more individual attention and care while growing up in a stable, family environment.

In 2018, much of our work has been in San Luis Río Colorado, Mexico, a small town located on the U.S.-Mexico border.

The Hope Effect is the first to seek government approval to provide family-based care in the State of Sonora, Mexico. Because we are pioneering this new model of orphan care, it’s been a lengthy process. But once we have approval from the Mexican government, the benefits will extend far beyond SLRC. We are beginning our work in that city, but we look forward to bringing family-style solutions to additional locations in Sonora. And by breaking new ground, we’ll pave the way for other organizations to provide family-based care in Mexico as well.

As we go through the process of obtaining government approval, we’ve been building relationships and forming connections in San Luis. One of our first actions was to partner with the city’s DIF (Mexico’s version of Child Protective Services), which has allowed us to work with the children currently in government care.

It’s clear these children are desperately in need of families. Over the last several months, we’ve learned their stories and we can see the impact that institutional care is having on them.

One of the little girls in the orphanage, Rosa*, has a story that illustrates this urgency and the importance of the work we are bringing. Rosa came to the DIF facility shortly after she was born, and she’s now almost four years old. At first, Rosa’s aunt would visit her a few times a year, but for whatever reason, her aunt wasn’t able to adopt her. Over the last several months, her aunt has stopped coming. Now, we are Rosa’s only visitors.

This young girl has never known life outside the orphanage. She’s never had parental interaction. She’s never known the love of a family. The orphanage staff does the best it can, but the institution cannot possibly replace a family.

Rosa belongs in a family. She deserves a family. And she needs to get out of the orphanage. The sad truth is that as she gets older, she is statistically less and less likely to be adopted. But because of legal issues and paperwork delays, Rosa is currently not even eligible to be adopted.

Children like Rosa need us to change how the world cares for orphans. Rosa needs us to stand up for her, communicate her story, and work to find better solutions for her… and the countless other orphaned children around the world.

If you want to make a difference in the lives of children like Rosa, we invite you to join us in this important work of providing families for orphans. Today is Giving Tuesday, an international day celebrating generosity. If you partner with us today, your donation will go toward our work in San Luis Río Colorado.

Even better—one of The Hope Effect’s generous supporters has offered to match every donation made today…up to $20,000! Your gift will be doubled. As always, because our US-based administrative costs are covered by private donors, we commit to you that 100% of your donation will be used directly for orphan care work—every single penny. And if we reach the entire match amount, our project in San Luis Río Colorado will be fully funded!

The Hope Effect is a 501(c)(3) organization, so your donation is tax-deductible within the U.S. If you have additional questions about The Hope Effect, send us an email. We’d love to hear from you and answer any questions you might have. We are passionate about the work we are doing and love interacting with others who want to hear more.

I am so grateful that the Becoming Minimalist community has embraced this mission over the last few years. Every gift has such an impact in the lives of children around the world.

Together, we are changing how the world cares for orphans.

*Name has been changed to protect the privacy of the child.

Is It Time for Us to Rethink How We Give Gifts?

“Twenty-five years ago, Christmas was not the burden that it is now. There was less haggling and weighing, less quid pro quo, less fatigue of body, less wearing of soul; and, most of all, there was less loading up with trash.” —Meredith Deland in Harper’s Bazaar, 1904

Giving gifts is an expression of love, and it has been for thousands of years. Well before our consumer-driven society, people offered gifts as a sign of respect and admiration. Kings, peasants, and everyone in-between.

This is not an argument for no longer giving gifts to people we love. I think giving gifts is great. But I do think it would be wise for us to rethink how we give them.

And the sooner, the better:

28% of shoppers are entering the holiday season still paying off debt from last year’s gift shopping!

Over 50% of holiday shoppers either overspend their holiday budget or do not set one at all.

Consumers who went into debt over the holiday season racked up an average of $1,054 in new debt over the timeframe.

I suppose this might be okay if our gifts were legitimately enriching the lives of other people. But the statistics say otherwise:

53.1% of people report to receiving unwanted gifts during Christmas.

$16 billion is wasted on unwanted gifts every year.

Some reports indicate up to 18% of gifts are never used by the person who receives them. 4% are immediately thrown into the trash.

Whenever I speak on minimalism and take questions afterward, the two most common questions are 1) How do I implement minimalism in a family? And 2) How do I handle and/or tell loved ones to stop giving me so many gifts?

And none of this even begins to mention the amount of stress and worry piled on to the holiday season with our attitudes toward gift-giving.

As someone recently said to me, “Thanksgiving may be my favorite holiday season. It’s got family and food and tradition. It’s just like Christmas, but without the gift-giving expectations and stress.”

I think it’s time we rethought how we approached the act of gifting gifts during the holiday season. Our current approach is not benefiting the people we love, nor is it adding to the joy of the season.

Times have changed.

For one, material goods exist in far greater excess than ever before. Consider this, human beings own more “things” today than at any point in human history. In America, the average home has tripled in size in the last 50 years. And still 10% of Americans rent offsite storage to house their stuff… and an even higher percentage can’t park their car in the garage because it’s too full. We’ve reached peak-stuff. People don’t want more, they want less (the growth of this blog and the minimalist movement over the years since it began stand as proof).

Additionally, and probably more important, very few people wait for the holidays to receive what they want anymore. Because goods have become so accessible and inexpensive, a high percentage of people just go buy whatever they want, whenever they want. This leads to countless moments of saying, “I don’t know what to get __________, he already has everything.” I can remember that phrase being said 30 years ago. But nowadays, it’s true about far more people than ever before.

I honestly think it’s time for us as a society to start rethinking our holiday gift-giving attitudes.

This has happened before. Most historians trace our current attitude toward Christmas shopping back to the 1850’s. This may seem like a long time ago. But 150 years, compared to the timeline of human history, is not all that long.

Our thinking as a society toward gift giving has changed in the past, and it can do so again.

How do we bring about this change?

1. We keep the conversation alive. Share this article. Or share others that are similar. Start the conversation among your friends and family members.

2. Control what you can. Request a change in what you personally receive. Ask for no gifts this year or ask that the money be donated to a charity rather than spent on clutter.

3. Look for buy-in among like-minded people.

Before buying a whole bunch of stuff for your loved ones this holiday season, ask if your loved ones even want a whole bunch of stuff this holiday season. (tweet that)

Or look for new traditions in your family. Maybe you only buy gifts for people under the age of 18. Or decide to limit the amount of gift-giving stress by drawing names, rather than everyone buying gifts for everyone else.

Approach the conversation with your family. Many families have changed how they give gifts, and most people are thankful for the change. It usually just takes one person to approach the others with a new idea. But now is the time to have that conversation.

4. Find new ways to give gifts. Look to consumables, experiences, or pooling money for one significant gift rather than piles under the tree.

5. Find new ways to make the season memorable. Holidays are important. They establish tradition, stability, and shared experiences among family members. Look for new ways to promote memories (time together, meals together, religious experiences together) that do not center around stuffing used wrapping paper into a trash bag.

It will take effort to change societal expectations around our current gift-giving habits—especially with the amount of money being spent to encourage it. But we can start with our families, and allow them to enjoy the freedom of new expectations first.

Replace Frustration with Appreciation

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.” —Melody Beattie

Too often, our hearts weigh heavy with feelings of dissatisfaction. We feel dissatisfied with our incomes, our clothes, our cars, our struggles. We chase material possessions and bigger homes.

Sometimes, the easiest way to feel more satisfaction is to stop comparing what we have to others, and to instead practice wanting what we already have. After all, to be upset over what we don’t have is to waste what we already do.

Practicing gratitude is one of the simple things in life we take for granted. It takes effort, intentionality, and a refusal to be influenced by marketers bent on sowing dissatisfaction in our lives.

But giving thanks can start as small as being grateful for your shelter, your food, or your friends and family.

This week, make a list of 5 things you are grateful for every evening before bed. Repeat the same things if you’d like, or think of new things daily.

By practicing gratitude, dissatisfaction will disappear and be replaced with joy and humility.
