Indulgently Minimal

We often ask ourselves if we can afford something, and this can play a key role in our purchasing decisions; but have you ever asked yourself what your purchase can afford you? Join us this week as we chat about the concept of affordance, and how we can apply this mode of thinking to Indulgently Minimal. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Mastadon:  @indulgentlymi...

We spend a lot of time talking about minimalism, mindfulness, and how we can use these tools to deal with our day to day issues. However, these are not the only tools at our disposal, so join us this week as we discuss the veritable cornucopia of options at our disposal when dealing with our problems and experiences. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Mastadon:  @...

When we first formulated the Indulgently Minimal plan the first step was to focus on the desire, and this week we decided it was high time to get desire in the hot seat for a good questioning. Join us as we explore what desire is and how we can have many reactions to it, and how our desires can often to be more than just simply wanting something. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulg...

When we get a shiny new tool, the temptation is to use it on every problem we find no matter whether it is appropiate or not. Join us this week as we discuss how minimalism is perhaps just one tool in our belts, and how hammering away at every problem with it may not be the best approach. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Mastadon:  @indulgentlyminimal Email:&nbs...

The search for Murdoch continues... In the meantime we wanted to share with you another show we have been working on. Join us for What a Year: 2004, a show where we geek out and get all nostalgic for all the pop culture that was released in the year 2004; since it turns out, it was a good one!

Why are we this way? It's not just the promises objects make that are so often broken, but also the promises we may to ourselves. Join us this week as we discuss how to avoid the 'bugs in the human code' that lead to the problems we have been discussing this month. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Mastadon:  @indulgentlyminimal Email:  indulgentlyminimal@gm...

When we succumb to the siren call of our desires it is often with a promise that the new shiny object comes with; that this will finally be the thing that solves 'that' problem or provides us with the tool to do what we have been unable to so far. Join us this week as we discuss how these promises are so often broken by both the object and ourselves, and how we can avoid repeating the same mistake...

It's Minimalist vs Minimalism, choose your fighter! In one corner we have the sleek & simple aesthetic with the heavyweight price tag, while in the other our faithful friend who seeks simplicity and peace. Why are these two things so often in conflict while seemingly so similar? Join us this week as we discuss this and more. Diderot effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diderot_effect www.indu...

Why do we fear failure when it is one of the best teachers we have at our disposal? Join us this week as we try to rehabilitate the reputation of failure, how we can use it to learn and grow, and what we can do in the face of the negative emotions that so often accompany it. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Mastadon:  @indulgentlyminimal Email:  indulgently...

As with many things you often don't appreciate something until it's gone, and this is no more apparent than with the eponymous 'Third Space'. Join us this week as we discuss this elusive place that is neither home nor work, yet is seemingly so integral to our well being, as we continue the digital vs analogue debate as well as the importance of community. You don't have to go home but you can't st...

Put away the robes and candles, because while we are discussing rituals we don’t mean quite the same thing… Join us this week as we discuss the little “Mindful Habits” which can be key moments in our days, and how these rituals help us in our day-to-day lives; as well as grounding us in difficult times. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Mastadon:  @indulgentlymin...

It wouldn't be a true trilogy without a fourth part! Join us for this week's Blobcast were we discuss all the positive things we can use to fill the empty spaces left by our efforts these past three episodes.

Leaving the digital realm we embark on a new adventure into the analogue, discussing what we can remove from our places and our lives to make space for the things we want and enjoy.

Continuing our theme of Minimalism by Subtraction, this week we will be tackling the idea of subtracting from our digital lives. Join us as we discuss all things digital, whether it be cleaning our hard drives, our subscriptions, or uninstalling those apps that fill our days with distraction and negativity. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram:  @indulgentlyminimal Mastadon:  @indulgentl...

Space is often so important for almost everything we want to do and often the best way to create space is to remove something, what we're calling Minimalism by Subtraction. Join us this week as we discuss the different forms this subtraction can take, and how the resultant space can be used to improve our physical, digital, and even mental environments. www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instagram: ...

For this week’s blobcast we’re kicking back with a chat about one of our favourite pastimes: music. Join us as we discuss music’s seeming immunity to some of the problems we’ve recently touched upon, as well as different ways we find new music, as well as how it helps us through many of life’s moments. You may even find a few new bands you can enjoy along the way! www.indulgentlyminimal.com Instag...

We've had a few episodes on the problems we've been facing as creators and consumers of media, so now it's time to think positively and look for solutions. Join us this week as we discuss the strategies and solutions we have to the many issues we've discussed with burnout, fatigue, and an increasingly difficult landscape for us to find the media we love and to interact with it in a healthy and pos...
