In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua & Ryan chat with Derek Sivers about simplicity, complexity, parenting, creativity, and saying “no” to almost everything, and they answer the following questions:

• How do I prioritize the most important things in my life once I’ve eliminated the clutter?
• How do I say ‘no’ to gifts and donations from my loved ones for my newborn without looking like an unappreciative jerk?
• How do I stay present with my loved ones when there are so many pressing demands on my time from my professional life?
• How do I ensure I stay committed to my minimalism journey?
