Change of life : what is the best fresh start ever ?
Jean-Rémy Duboc | Mar 14 2008
Hi guys, I’m about to quit my job (today is my last day at the office), to finish my degree in Computer Science. I’d like to take that opportunity to make a fresh start in my GTD system, my working habits, and my life in general. Here’s my question : what is the single new habit you took that dramatically changed your way of doing things, in work and in life ? I’m not looking for a silver bullet here, just someting easy that gets me on the right track for that new route in life I’m taking. Thanks in advance, 8 Comments

 Minimalism enabling focusSubmitted by noone on May 7, 2008 - 12:41pm.
Probably the most life-changing thing I’ve done is to get rid of roles, responsibilities, and activities that aren’t absolutely important, or that add enjoyment and pleasure at the most core level. A lot of this started happening when I stumbled into an unexpected blessing of starting a guitar lesson website that really took off. This caused me to re-evaluate everything else I was doing. I realized that all the “stuff” I had been filing my life with was now a distraction from something that was both truly enjoyable and very profitable, a rare combination. What has allowed me, and what will continue to allow me to focus my extra energy on things I really love is a newfound appreciation for minimalism, both in lifestyle and possessions. Some people might think that a trip to the dump with a truckful of junk doesn’t have much to do with running a website, but I see the two of them as intimately related. Hope some of this translates, best wishes :) » POSTED IN:
