My Lifestyle

Portrait of Benjamin Guibert

I define myself as a minimalist nomad because these words aptly encapsulate the lifestyle I've chosen:

  • Minimalist as I constantly strive to eliminate anything that doesn't bring significant value to my life, whether it be material, digital, mental, or social;
  • Nomad as I embrace movement, both in a literal and symbolic way.

This lifestyle centers around a continuous, dynamic flow and can be summarized in three steps:

  1. Embrace new interests, life hacks, relationships, ... Keep an open mind to change;
  2. Learn and experiment with these novelties, relishing the present moment. Assess their long-term compatibility by asking the crucial question: Does this bring value or meaning to my life? If the answer is affirmative, keep it!
  3. Be willing to let go of anything not worthy. It's okay, they may return if they are meant to.

Here are some principles I tend to follow, derived from years of introspection and experience. I don't consider them as rigid rules but rather as guidelines:

  • I limit my possessions to what can fit in a 45-liter backpack;
  • I avoid carrying items that can be digitalized;
  • I regularly review new information and suggestions on a weekly basis;
  • I delete any irrelevant data, conversations, or contacts every month;
  • I maintain software configurations as simple and default as possible;
  • I wear only 2 outfits: one casual, one less so;
  • I focus on one task at a time;
  • I manage all my tasks using a simple to-do list and a recurrent tasks list;
  • I promptly complete tasks that take less than two minutes to finish;
  • I only note down recurring or significant thoughts; I let the rest flow away;
  • I avoid long-term planning as much as possible.
