Minimalism?
This year, spring cleaning has been a return to the concept of minimalism and simple living - physical, digital, and financial. I have been reading books ("goodbye, things" and "new minimalism" were both very eye-opening) and subscribing to youtube channels ("laura larson organizing", "sunny kind journey", "gabe bult") to retrain my consumer mind. Have any of you explored this philosophy? Do you have any resources to share which were influential in your journey? P.S. Enjoy these images of monastery guest houses.

@Kathrin Sandall, thank you for sharing! I agree it is a bombardment. I’ve read deep work but not that one yet. Somehow I’ve never read essentialism despite loving that term. Thanks for the pod too!

The Gift of Community
I am looking forward to being part of this adventure. What has been a gift of being part of this community that has helped you be more present to your loved ones?

Welcome, Sr. Michelle! I have become better at recognizing stress and asking "why" rather than suppress it or avoid it. The people in this community have a LOT of wisdom to offer, and it has been wonderful to incorporate pieces into my life.

Introducing TimeWise: The Four Arenas of Human Time
If you have been following along, you've likely noticed that I have been gesturing towards a new movement happening here at Monk Manual. Our tools aren't going away. We are just going deeper. We want to help people build a new foundation for their time and work, and by extension a new foundation for their life. Across my work with individuals over the past 8 years, a pattern has emerged. The real work for individuals is not time management. The real work for individuals is time leadership. "Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things" - Peter Drucker Moving forward, as we enter into the early phases of a new industrial revolution through AI, the Monk Manual exists to provide an alternative to commodity-based time and work. We want to provide a bridge for people to move from a life built for machines, to a life built for humans. This feels timely and important. We've just released the foundational videos for TimeWise in the classroom. I hope you'll take some time to check them out. Link underneath. https://www.skool.com/being-doing-club-6723/classroom/f3535435?md=2d1d48db46b941569119aac6e73ef32d Let me know what resonates below. This is the beginning of something new.

Posting this material in late winter (North America) is such a great season to post. Right as the natural energy begins to shift and spark again. Gives time to process it and incorporate it into the upcoming growth. Great call by the team.

there you are!
Somehow missed the transition to this platform from the Facebook group (I’d wondered why it had got so quiet!). Glad to reconnect w fellow monk manual-ers!

Welcome! Definitely check out the classroom tab. There are some recordings and writings over there. Sounds like it will not be an intro, but a refresh may be helpful!

TimeWise Workshop Recording
Hello! The recording of the TimeWise Workshop is up in the classroom. Comment here with your insights or clarity from the workshop!

Thank you for posting the recording! I noticed that clarity, confidence, and commitment showed up without composure and consistency. Are those two secondary to the other three? Do they relate more to the day-to-day than longer time-frames? I really struggled to remember all five, so I am curious if the reduction was intentional.

@Kathrin Sandall, sorry to be cryptic! I was thinking of the 5 C’s from session 5 of the path. It was definitely one of my favorite lessons. The list Steve gave in this workshop was similar but different. I didn’t know if they were related. @Patricia Sheerin , did you notice the similarity too? Do you have any thoughts? I remember you’ve posted about the 5C’s before.
