I'm just a huge fan of the School of Life and am not affiliated with it in any way. The post resonated with my idea of simple living. submitted by /u/itsgettingsowarm [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I mean like buying a bunch of ingredients. Cutting them up and putting them into trays so you can just assemble by grabbing what you want ? Diced and prepped just ready to go? I just feel like I’m not getting enough veggie in my diet. If it’s already mixed into a salad I don’t always want salad. Thank everyone I found a small salad bar I might try. : https://a.co/d/7DCVmtB submitted by /u/makingbutter2 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

As I've gotten older, like many people around me, I've dreamt of leaving the big city lifestyle behind for something more simple. I find myself daydreaming quite often about those small town tight knit communities, a life with a community oriented job rather than the isolating tech job I have now. For those who actually have pursued some sort of rural or small town lifestyle that is more simple living, what is the reality check here?

I’m basically afraid and overwhelmed by things in life I need to deal with, so my defence mechanism is to not leave my bed and the things I need deal with just grow bigger/worse as I ignore them so the bed turns into a quicksand I can’t leave. After being able to just hold it together for a decade I slipped back into a rut of depression and anxiety that has landed me at my parents and unable to work for a few years…today though, I man ..read more

Hi folks! I discovered this sub recently and after reading the posts, I realized this is the lifestyle i've been striving for (and somewhat practicing) - I just never put a name to it. I'm really excited to continue reading and learning from everyone. I have a day off this week and I have my intentions set on decluttering my place and re-evaluating my budget/spending. Seems like a good baseline to start with. I have solid morning/night routines. I can do better with tech but I'm only on reddit/discord so I feel like I'm not too far off. Which leads to my first question: despite my best effort ..read more
