And Someday Came

For a long time, I was waiting for someday to come.

Someday, when I had enough money. Someday, when I had worked enough. Someday, when I could finally spend my time doing the things I actually wanted to do.

But keeping my life going required a lot of money — and a lot of work. I was working to pay for my life, and sometimes working to pay for getting to work.

At some point, I discovered minimalism. I started questioning what I really needed, gave up my career, and gradually made my life cheaper. And something unexpected happened: by needing less money, I also needed less time working to earn it.

That gave me something I had been waiting for all along: time to do the things I love.

In this first episode of And Someday Came, I’m talking about the connection between money, work, and time, how minimalism changed the way I look at my life, and what happened when I stopped waiting for someday and started making room for the things I wanted to do now.
