Making life simpler. I live my professional life with a backpack since 2008.

Clothing, I’ve made my wardrobe filled with less stuff year over year. Books are becoming digital or I can choose a service with most of them available. Same with music. Same with movies. Same with on demand videos.

So in the end I can live my life with less possessions or at least I can be really focused on what’s real important to me, thinking about material stuff.

What about my mind? What are my needs? That’s where stoicism becomes real to me. Two principles from that:
* What happens, is only what happens.
* I can’t control what’s going to happen to me. I can control what I do after something happens to me.

I journal. I breathe. I write meetings notes so I can review my day and understand how can I be for self aware tomorrow.

But here’s the catch, considering current moment of covid-19.

There’s no more balance in life (we never had that ok). We may have a home. With a sort of work in place and no life, other than silence and being with who else lives together with us.

Become aware of you. And your needs. Be safe.
