Approximately two-thirds of the United States’ adult population is overweight This is because, on average, adults in the United States are eating upwards of 3,500 calories each day, when 2,000 calories a day is plenty for an active adult. Both types of foods, and the amount of daily calories an adult chooses to consume can have a significant impact on their health, as you can see by the distribution of calories in diets around the world. Click here to see the full infographic.

This is a fantastic look into why minimalism is, at it’s heart, about self reliance. That said, here is the money quote for me:

Focus on acquiring abilities, not tools. Instead of buying a bunch of gadgets to help me get a job done, let’s spend more time learning the skills behind the job. Tools are just things, but skills become part of us.

Tru dat! The right tool, learned deeply, executed when appropriate, no matter how basic, can beat the pants off of “features” any day. Because it ain’t about the tool, or the feature, it is about your ability to use it to achieve the goal at hand.

Also, this is one of the reasons you may see me post about keyboard shortcuts. If you use a tool more than once a day you can save so much time and effort by learning the shortcuts for every feature you use. Also, the more deeply you learn a program the less you will “need” another to achieve your goals.

Sunna & Laila, from the series Sámi, the people

I have seen the Arctic as a place where the extremes play out in the daily lives of the people that inhabit this land. It is a place where man has learned to adapt to the environment that surrounds him rather than adapting the environment to him. Here I found the Sámi, which translates to ‘The People.’ They are the indigenous people living in the Arctic Circle region of northern Scandinavia and it is the largest area in the world with an ancestral way of life based on the seasonal migrations of the animals. The Sámi are by tradition reindeer herders and live a nomadic lifestyle based on the reindeer migration.
