living lean

August 19, 2026

it is best to live lean and simple

  • we often have a tendency to accumulate stuff, but not one to simplify
  • too much stuff increases complexity and reduces optionality, therefore putting you in a strategically worse place in life
  • rather than having a stacked bookshelf, have a clean one. like a cleaned up resume or portfolio, only keeping the best items that you love or identify with
