Podcast 008 - Minimalism and privilege

04/17/16 • -1 min

In this episode I take a step back and share some of the issues and questions that have come up as I've been reviewing the past few episodes. I talk about some course corrections that I need to make and why I do believe that what I'm trying to do can be called minimalism. I also start to unpack the topic of privilege as it relates to having the power or agency to be able to make decisions required by minimalism, specifically at work.

Podcast 007 - Commitments

In this episode I talk about taking a minimalist approach to my commitments, to "declutter" the things I've currently committed to and to make sure that going forward I'm spending as much of my time as possible making a real impact on the things that matter.
I also provide a short update on where I'm at in terms of improving my email and task management, and what my next major area for improvement is.

Podcast 009 - Pushback

In this episode I continue the discussion on minimalism at work, focusing on the pushback that you are likely to get when you try to adopt a minimalist approach. I want to share some of the questions and ideas that I've be thinking about as I try to understand where this pushback is coming from and what I can do to deal with it.
