Setting boundaries for possessions is a key component of living a minimalist lifestyle with children.

“we don’t want to tell our kids what to do you don’t want to like be a dictator but you do want to set boundaries for your kids”

Giving up things and habits is essential for moving forward and finding what is appropriate for one's life.

“man giving up is one of the almost awesome things you can do that's what minimalism is all about about giving up stuff and then from there giving up the relationships that don't serve us anymore giving up bad habits giving up routines that no longer service”

A hobby should be abandoned if it has not been practiced within a year.

“if you haven't done a hobby within a year then it's probably not a hobby of yours anymore”

True minimalism is about appreciating and treasuring specific meaningful items rather than just owning the smallest possible quantity of things.

“I think for me with the with the Epic minimalist meme it's it's not to me necessarily about having as few things as possible although with some exceptions like shoes and watches but it's about finding the things that you really like and actually treasuring them in a different way”

A minimalist approach to gear helps avoid the distraction of constant tinkering and over-acquisition.

“there can be an infinity of you can always tinker and it can be so hard to finish and what I what I've learned and because I do a lot of a lot of production with with Canyon City a lot of that stuff is just me alone in a room you know messing with things and what I've learned is to let go at like 90”
