“降低生活水平以提高生活质量的行为。”

— Investopedia

“……减速生活者,一个已经决定在自己的职业生涯中,更多并不总会变得更好的人。尽管总有一些退出企业者讨厌所谓的“老鼠赛跑”,但低调的人只是希望生活更加平衡。他们可能会选择退出公司生活,或者只是通过减少压力较大和耗时的工作来简化生活,以更加节俭的生活方式来弥补收入的下降。”

—《华尔街日报》

减速生活是迈向简单之路的第一步。

— 闲人·迪克森


减速生活也提倡简单的生活方式。它主要关注生活的三个外部方面:

  • 消费 — 有目的的购买。坚持基本需求。更少的支出意味着更少的债务和不能带来欢乐的东西。
  • 事业 — 少工作,多生活。不要忙着你的工作。减少工作时间或者找一份要求不高的工作。
  • 生活方式 — 简单,健康,更环保。整理房子。把对你重要的事情放在首位并坚持下去。花更多的时间在个人发展上,培养一个新的爱好,和家人出去或者在公园散步。

我发现减速生活对心理健康的改善作用有限。忙碌不仅是我们社会的步伐,而且是我们的思想。有必要努力使“猴子的思想”平静下来,才能真正享受您的生活。但是减速生活是迈向简单之路的第一步。

Book Summary: The Complete Guide to Fasting by Jason Fung & Jimmy Moore

This is a book that I have read and feels that it is one of the books to keep for reference or at least read once, on the topic of maintaining your health. You might be wondering, why fasting has got to do with your health? Read on... I would be summarizing based on chapters but I will focus on the main chapters as some chapters are not so important but if you are interested to read on them, please borrow the book from the National Library.  INTRODUCTION Dr. Jason Fung , a who is a Toronto based Nephrologist (kidney specialist) but he is known for his treatment using fasting method for obesity and type 2 diabetes. In 2012, he established the Intensive Dietary Management Program (IDM), which uniquely focus on diet as a treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes. The underlying cause of obesity turns out to be a hormonal, rather than a caloric, imbalance. Excessively and persistently high insulin levels result inexorably in obesity. Insulin certainly lower...

BrainTeasers: Cross Fire 穿越火线

Image from: Mewatch.com Country: China Genre: Gaming, Time Travel Release Date: 2020 Rating:  ★★★ ★★ I just finished watching this drama on Mewatch.com. This is one of the best dramas that I have ever watched, especially since it is on esport. Initially, I wanted to watch it due to an esport drama, but it turned out to be such an excellent drama.  The drama is about 2 esport players for Crossfire game, XiaoFeng (Seven), a team leader for 1coin team in the year 2008 and another is XiaoBei (North), team leader for Continue team in the year 2019.  They somehow managed to contact each other through this game during an accident.

Through this, XiaoFeng managed to win the first CrossFire competition in China and XiaoBei managed to form an esport team and continued to compete CrossFire as a professional player. ...

@Lifestyle: My Reasons Becoming A Partial-Freegan

  Reject mindless consumerism I chanced upon freeganism when reviewing my investments. I just left my stressful job (details in another post ). I dreamed to retire from work by age 45 but had no concrete plans then. I felt freeganism is a path to fulfil my early retirement dream. The idea behind freeganism is to get what you need for free and use your money only on necessities. I joined the "Freegan in Singapore" Facebook group, where Colin Lau's articles on freeganism impress me. I started dumpster diving and managed to rescue mostly merchandise and occasionally food. I spend money on bills, insurance premiums and food. Below are my reasons for becoming a partial-freegan: Sick of work.  Mainly due to office politics, backstabbing, lack of job satisfaction and Information Technology (IT) industry are always fire-fighting.
