The Power of the Mundane

by mortgagefreebythesea on Jul 19, 2020 category Simple Sundays

During my early morning walk along the beach, I decided that I was going to paint the shed. Now I know that it seems completely out of line with my whole ‘Simple Sundays’ plan, but after giving myself a talking to about once again filling up my Sunday, I came to a different conclusion. I realised that I’d actually enjoy painting the shed. It requires very little mental effort, the results would be instantly visible and I’d get to soak up the rays on this glorious day. I even felt disappointed at the thought of putting it off until another day, so I decided to go for it. After all, there’s something soothing in the repetitive nature of painting which I like to think of as the power of the mundane.

The Year of Less: Live more with less

The Year of Less – Cait Flanders

by mortgagefreebythesea on Jul 12, 2020 category Simple Sundays

I listened to a podcast this morning for the third time. I’ve listened to it twice this week but found myself compelled to revisit it yet again. It was an interview on Choose FI with Cait Flanders, author of The Year of Less. I’m not sure what keeps drawing me to it, whether I saw a kindred spirit in Cait who confessed to having 54 unread books on her bookshelf. (See my confession to having 61 unread books here).

Or whether it’s the discussion around how many people use consumerism as an (often unconscious) distraction.

It may even be the thought of returning to a simpler way of life, learning hands-on skills so that we can do things ourselves. I really don’t know, but on some level it spoke to me, sparking my curiosity.
