Peace of mind through independence; independence through organization; organization through minimalism and meditation.
Don't know where to start? Read either of Marie Kondo's books on tidying up: mariekondobooks.com.
Don't want to organize your physical stuff? Organize your mind. Read Andy Puddicombe's book, get his @Headspace app, and start to build a meditation routine: amazon.com/Get-Some-Heads….
REALLY don't know where to start? Just throw away one item today (or donate it, but definitely get rid of it!). There is plenty of time to make massive improvements this year, but get started ASAP!
We all need to be taking steps and implementing systems to organize our lives. Taking the first step is the hardest but it is so worth it.

short thread on books I have read, starting with sometime late 2017...
1. The Asshole Survival Guide. @work_matters's sequel to his blockbuster bestseller, "The No Asshole Rule". A depressing read when you realize how toxic some workplaces can be.
2."Black Money and Tax Havens", by Prof @rvaidya2000 - a short, breezy window into the world of black money. Again, a somewhat depressing read when you realize how weak the intent and how inconsequential the efforts into rooting out black money have been.
#books #ReviewInATweet
3. "Aadhaar: A Biometric History of India's 12-digit Revolution", by @ShankkarAiyar
Perhaps the first comprehensive account of Aadhaar's birth & its midwives. Insightful a/c into how the world's largest & most intrusive, privacy-destroying scheme came to life.

I just don’t trust someone who doesn’t understand the magic of books. (This is a Marie Kondo subtweet) Books come to us when they are supposed to and we read them when we are meant to. They are not interchangeable, indistinguishable blocks of text.
Never forget that when pressed to think of the classics, Marie Kondo didn’t mention Austen or Bronte or Tolstoy or Shelley. In her book, she mentions Carnegie and Drucker. No wonder she thinks you can trash them. 😅
Maybe someday we can have a discussion about the classism of minimalism. Having the luxury of not keeping things, because you can turn cash into things and then get rid of the things and then buy things again on demand. 🤔

#Meditation happens beyond #mind. It involves watching #mind. When the real YOU, the watcher, becomes stronger the mind becomes the #servant.

No #discipline, #mantra or #scientific instrument can lead to meditation. No technique can go beyond mind.
The basis of all misunderstanding in a scientific circle is: when the being of a person is in a state of meditation, it creates certain waves in the mind. These waves can be wavelength from the outside by #technical means. But those waves will not create #meditation
You may go on practising with #scientific instruments for years; it will not change your #character, it will not change your #morality, it will not change your #individuality. You will remain the same.

#OSHO

Start with #desire.

One has to begin with desiring something that cannot be achieved by desiring. But if you are aware of this fact - if you are aware of the fact that you are desiring something that cannot be desired - it helps. At any moment, you can take the #jump.
With the #mind we cannot understand anything which is effortless. Mind means effort. The faculty of the mind is to do something; it is an instrument for doing. The very faculty of mind is to #achieve something, to gain some desire.
You cannot begin with no #desiring. The mind will make this non-desiring also the desired object.

The mind will create new desire and say, “Okay, I will try not to desire.” It will say, “Really, it looks fascinating. I will try to do something so that this no desiring happens.”

This was quite an interesting read. It's not too long but if you're not feeling it, I'll just tweet some of the highlights.
"Although held on Thanksgiving Day, the very first Macy's parade on November 27, 1924 was advertised as a Christmas Parade with the arrival of Santa Claus signaling the official start of the holiday shopping season."

• Jordan Peterson’s “Clean your room”

• Jocko Willink’s “Good”

• Marie Kondo’s art of tidying up

• David Allen’s GTD

• Tim Pychyl’s procrastination advice

• The popularity of Tony Robbins

I finally, finally understand why they’re popular.
They’ve all designed protocols for recalibrating and developing your emotions.

Poor people. I never knew they were so desperate.

Modernity haunts our dreams and our desires.

We’re like monkeys asked to deal with complex situations without ever developing our emotions.
Is it no wonder so many struggle?

We have a limbic system guiding our behavior and we haven’t taken the opportunity to update it for modernity.

There are software programs that can help you alleviate the background unease, the quiet sense of anxiety that lurks in your room.
