“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。”

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。

This is one of life’s most difficult problems everyone has and many are unable to overcome it. —— Dickson Idlier I am not a financial consultant. What I wrote here is purely my opinion. The road to my financial independence is essentially be low on debts and expenses and high in investments and assets. How to control your expenses and debts depends on what is essential to you. I prefer rejecting any instalments (debts) whenever possible and have a simple lifestyle. After these, then build up your savings, investments and assets.

Try keeping food expenses low but not compromising on quality. Reduce ...

IdlierStories: Muddy Water

Once Buddha was walking from one town to another town with a few of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his disciples, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”. The disciple walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he noticed that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very turbid. The disciple thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I don’t think it is fit to drink”. So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The disciple obediently went back to the lake. This time he found that the l...
