minimalmac:

James hits the nail on the head here with something that is easy to forget when throwing around words like “minimalism” and “simplify”. The idea behind any of this stuff is not to do away with things for the sake of doing so and then slapping a label on your chest that screams “Oh, look at me, I’m so minimal!”. The idea is to look around and ask tough questions about what you really need and what you don’t. Figure out new ways and solutions that provide only what you need and nothing that you don’t. Finally, it’s to add to the greater conversation about the idea of embracing “enough” in an industry and culture that clearly believes in “more”.

I can promise this though, the moment I personally feel that I am no longer providing value with what I am posting here or, even worse, pretending to, but not really helping – I’ll stop. I’ll pull the plug on this entire affair and redirect the domain to some random page. I can’t sleep at night any other way.
