I was inspired by Diana Montalion’s "Year of Enough". I’ve been thinking about the concept of "enough" in my own life.
My first realization is that I possess enough information. Thousands of e-books, hundreds of physical books, thousands of papers and articles and presentations. Information on things I care about (and some things I don’t). With the importance of action over information, there’s no need to keep acquiring more.
I have enough. This year:
- I will not buy audio books
- I will not buy apps on my phone
- I will not buy new books
- I will not buy new books, even on my Kindle, which I considered a loophole
- I will not add new digital subscriptions
There’s gold in my archives, unexploited and unmined. Yet, I keep acquiring more.
I’ve got more than enough for a lifetime already.
