Other tiny home thoughts…
There are so many things to consider when planning to simplify and reduce one’s life, here are some of the things I’d like to write about soon:
- The Great Material Continuum – Modifying my self-image of being someone who owns things and takes care of them, to someone who is simply a temporary steward of things.
- Media collections – Books, movies, music – physical media can take up tremendous amounts of space, but in this modern age of digital media and cloud-based storage (or streaming!) it really doesn’t have to.
- Hobbies – My hobbies have historically taken up a lot of space, from storing old drawings, having a large drafting table, and now a decent quantity of homebrewing equipment. How will I adapt these interests to suit a mobile lifestyle?
- Community – They say you can’t choose your neighbors, but is that still true when you can move your home? What would a neighborhood of tiny house dwellers look like, and could it work on a larger scale?
- The roots-free economy – The internet has really changed the working landscape for countless young tech and office workers. Digital file delivery, working and meeting by remote; a workforce that’s increasingly temporary, part-time, or freelance. How might this continued trend shape our culture in the next few generations?
