Building A New Culture Of Teaching And Learning
Declutter100 – The Book
Since starting the Declutter100 project I’ve been devouring and digesting loads of minimal related videos, ebooks, blogs, podcasts… there is a wealth of fantastic guidance, insights, tips and strategies out there for newbies like me. Thought it was time to contribute to the cause…
As I’m still an amateur was thinking of acting as a curator of knowledge rather than originator—here’s my intention: 100 minimalists sharing in a 100 words anything they want (an idea, a story, a practice, a lyric, a quote, anything…) on the subject of minimalism.
All responses will be aggregated into a free ebook. Simple, huh? If you’ve completed the form below feel free to publicise this project using #declutter100

Zen And The Art Of Punching
Punching is an art.
A physical expression of control and movement. An inward exploration of channeled aggression.
Here’s the three biggest things I’ve learned from strapping my hands in the past couple of years:
- reduce the form, increase the function : once you have the basic biomechanics of a punch down the aim is to concentrate the movement to its barest elements whilst intensifying the impact;
- learn, unlearn, relearn : it’s essential to adopt the constant ‘amateur state of mind’, relearning everything you know again and again as you deconstruct your actions and hone new patterns of motion;
- cultivate balance : a left jab starts with a solid right heel, a right cross begins with the pivoting left foot, sounds counter-intuitive, but all part of the karmic order of punching.
If you’re a puncher what have you learned?
