I’ve written about my interest in minimalism because of my ADHD and also during my Low Buy Year, when I worked on my obsession with retail therapy. What started with an inspiring (German) book — Einfach Leben by Lina Jachmann — roughly three years ago grew to become an approach to life, at least in
“For the sewing machine, with a dignified bearing and fated to be stationary, the shock all but caused it to lose its reason for existence.

Nun ist es bereits März 2021 und ich habe es verabsäumt, mein Low-Buy-Abenteuer 2020 auch auf in der deutschen Version nochmal Revue passieren zu lassen – shame on me.
