I started 2016 with a determination to do less, but better. I was inspired along the way by the ideas in the books  Essentialism and Deep Work. Anyone feeling compelled to live more intentionally should check out these two works. I have also tried to take stock of the true cost (both monetary and psychological) of my time commitments and the “stuff” that I own. I’ve come across a few blogs on this journey that I continue to read regularly. Two of them recently published lists of their most popular posts of 2016: Becoming Minimalist top post of 2016 and No Sidebar top posts of 2016.
