Accelerated plans

I had planned to start my "new" life which would include building an 8' micro-house and living in it, being green and minimalistic, traveling and learning languages and blogging about it all while doing a tiny little bit of freelance work in-between starting in October, but an opportunity suddenly arose and I will be able to start earlier. Right now to be exact.

The opportunity includes packing my house and moving out within the next 4 days and moving in with a friend while I build the micro-house. I am not sure how long it will take, but now that I can concentrate on it 100 % it should not take long. Him and his wife are awesome people and very good friends and I would like it to remain like that, so Bob the Builder better put on his hard hat and get the order in for some marine plywood (the summer here in Hong Kong is steaming!) so that the Minimalism Weekly Headquarters (HQ) can take shape and the house guest does not overstay his welcome.

I spent a good part of the afternoon scanning a small hill of a pile of papers so that I always have them available on Evernote, but also so that I don't have to lug them around. Papers take up space and it is sooo heavy too. I kept some of the more important certificates etc, partly because I might need the paper copy and partly out of fear or losing it all to some electronic glitch. I will look more into the systems I should set up so that I can go as paperless as possible. Fully paperless would be great.
