If You Want to Simplify EVERYTHING, You've Come to the Right Place
And at the right time

You’ve gotta love Joshua Becker.
As many of you will know, he was kind enough to publish one of my blog posts over at Becoming Minimalist this week. I know lots of you are aware of this because literally thousands of you signed up here off the back of it.

Second, if you’ve just joined you might be wondering what the heck Simple and Straightforward is all about.
This is a space for anyone who feels overwhelmed, undervalued, overworked, overstimulated and/or underappreciated by modern life. For people who want to simplify the crap out of everything, to make every day just a little bit more straightforward.
Every week I send out an essay about simple living and some recommendations for great, valuable content. That could be books, articles, podcasts, Substack newsletters or videos. I talk about everything from simplifying diaries and daily routines, to minimalism, to finances and everything else in between.

You’ve joined at an exciting time because Simple + Straightforward is going to be ramping up content in the next month or so - details to follow very soon.
