In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua and Ryan talk about owning less, wanting less, decluttering physical and digital spaces, and more (about less) with YouTube minimalist Ronald L. Banks, and they answer the following questions:
- How do I ensure I purchase new items intentionally?
- How do I appropriately address my constant yearning for upgrades?
- Why do we try to use possessions to validate ourselves?
- How do I appropriately manage my bloated digital storage?
- What is the best method for organizing photos?
- Are there instances that warrant more rather than less?
- How does minimalism simultaneously encompass less and more?
