I love simplifying. My phone, my day, my travel speed, my budget.. all of it can have a powerfull impact on the way we live our lives. Simplifying and making conscious choices is great, but can also feel lonely, at times. More often than not, we end up doing things differently than people around us. In this episode, I share different ways my little family have simplified over the past 14 years. I Hope you enjoy it.

Ep 3: My story with burnout and how hurry affects our lives

I made it though one whole month of my digital detox! This is my update on what I have noticed after staying of all non-essential tech for 30 days. For me that looks like: No youtube, no Netflix (or any other streaming for that matter), no checking the news and no social media for a month. Now most of the restlessness is gone and I am able to just be bored:) I am also enjoying my "high quality leisure" a lot.

Summer is in full swing for most of us now! In episode 5 I talked about the power of an "intentional summer", and how we go about rough planning our breaks. In this episode, I give more practical suggestions for strategies for tech, summer reading suggestions, and fun family activities.

Listen to Episode 5 (Intentional summer routine)

I made it though week 2 of my digital detox, where I stay of all non-essential tech for 30 days. For me that looks like: no youtube, no Netflix (or any other streaming for that matter), no checking the news, and no social media.

I am already feeling the benefits of not checking the news - and staying of youtube is getting easier:)

Digital Minimalism, Cal Newport (Book)

This episode means a lot to me! The question "How much is enough?" is such a powerful question to ask ourselves - both in handling our possessions and our life choices. What does it take to satisfy us? How much is house is enough? How many shoes are enough, how much travel is enough?

I'm one week into my digital detox, where I stay of all non-essential tech. For me that looks like: no YouTube, no Netflix (or any other streaming for that matter), no checking the news, and no social media for a full month.

Digital Minimalism, by Cal Newport (book)

This week I am throwing myself into a 30-day digital declutter experiment. I am going to follow Cal Newports "formula" from his book "Digital Minimalism" and honestly, I am very nervous about how I will react to it.
I also share my WHY (my motivation) and hope that you will join me.

"Digital Minimalism" (Book by Cal Newport)

In our culture, we have a tendency to over-schedule our lives and that bleeds into how we then schedule our vacations. With summer break coming up, I want to share my routine in planning our summers with intentionality.

Let the SLOW summer planning begin :)
