In this episode I clarify a point I raised last episode about reducing the scope of my work, and mostly talk about news and some of the reflections and adjustments I've been making to how I seek out, process, and act on news.

Podcast 018 - The Value of News

In this episode I share some of the challenges I've been having with minimalism and how I've been feeling that my efforts at both minimalism and productivity have plateaued.

Podcast 017 - Plateau

An update on what I've been up to, and why it has been so long since I put out an episode.

Podcast 016 - Return

In this episode I share my ideas about how I plan on organizing my work so that I can stay focused on my priorities and ensure that I have enough space and time to do good work.

Podcast 015 - My ideal week

After roughly a month hiatus, I decided it was time to put out a new if short episode to give an update on the reason for my absence and to renew my commitment to putting out this podcast on a regular basis.  The title of this episode refers to the fact that after a month or two of being in crunch mode to get a major project out the door, I’m finding myself having to rework and rebuild the habits I had been working on to minimize the clutter in my life so that I focus on what matters. I’ve decided to see the last two months not as a failure or as a set back but rather as a learning opportunity, one that has helped me to identify the shortcomings in my systems. Over the coming weeks I’ll be putting things back in place and sharing my experiences in future episodes.

Podcast 011 - Purpose

In this episode I talk about how although we likely see each ourselves as part of the solution, each one of us might in fact be part of the problem. I think this is a topic that I'll be coming back to every once in a while, because while self-improvement is a laudable goal, it shouldn't come at the expense of the people around us. More importantly, the best way to bring about lasting change is to change not only ourselves but the culture of the our workplaces and communities in which we live.   ⁂  To subscribe to The Effective Minimalist, see the Subscribe page.

Podcast 009 - Pushback

The Effective Minimalist is a podcast on working towards and living a good life. In each episode, I share my experiences, questions and ideas as I try to apply the concepts and approaches of minimalism to my life, to get rid of the clutter and make space and time for the things that truly matter.

In this episode I take a step back and share some of the issues and questions that have come up as I've been reviewing the past few episodes. I talk about some course corrections that I need to make and why I do believe that what I'm trying to do can be called minimalism. I also start to unpack the topic of privilege as it relates to having the power or agency to be able to make decisions required by minimalism, specifically at work.   ⁂  You can subscribe to The Effective Minimalist through iTunes or Stitcher, or you can right-click and copy URL for the show's RSS feed and paste it into the subscribe function of your favorite podcasting app.  If you have any feedback or questions, you can leave a comment under the show notes for this episode below or or send me an email at edward.bilodeau@gmail.com.   ⁂  Music: Close Tracking from Learning Kurve.
