Multi-Tasking Is The Key To Minimalism
Hey, welcome back to another post. Today I will share my experiences about how learning multiple skills has made my minimalist lifestyle worth living.

From an early age, I am a natural and easygoing guy who wants to live a casual and humble life. I don’t want to be perfect, and that’s what a minimalist lifestyle is about. With the minimalist concept, you have to experience as many things as you can with the limited available resources.
All my life, I have seen my dad working as a printer, struggling and sweating in printing room and heavy loads, and yes! He is proud of it, and me too. But he has suffered a lot, faced many hardships, and conquered challenges but think for a second, what if he had invested his that time in learning a different new skill or three or four? Might he have given his fate a new looked?
Those circumstances were enough to make me understand that learning multiple skills is not a choice but the need for an hour. Yes, I know people would say that master one skill and take the risk of competition, since without it, you won’t make your way, and so on, but I knew multi-tasking was the key to the future.
Initially, I invested my younger self in medical education and got alot of scholarship on behalf of which I am making the path of a future doctor. And I know that the medical profession is enough to live a way better life, but the curiosity to learn, grow, and achieve more and more brought me to other fields too.
I know, here arises the argument of a minimalist lifestyle that this formula doesn’t implement in mine. But let me tell you, minimalism teaches us to save and manage time and enjoy life to its fullest potential by keeping it simple as we can. And that’s what I am doing by putting my interest forward.
The skill which I admire the most and also is a need in today’s world is UI/UX design and programming . All that interest in design, research , and Digital sectors comes naturally to me due to Tenage and curios young man . But discovering my particular interest in learning took its surface when I was eighteen. Although, the design encompasses a wide range of skills that I haven’t covered yet, like interaction designs and motion graphic designs and game design. I have learned at that minimal average that I can make my living out of it.
Also, I am average at other things like blogging, image, and video editing. Since I don’t do these regularly, I don’t make much from them. The only reason I do that is because I enjoy doing those things. Even if I talk about blogging, I love to share my personal experience that’s why I am doing that.
The key to managing time for these skills is that I don't go behind the concept of perfectionism. I am here to cherish every moment, discover my true potential and develop new skills that will engage my time and make me happy even if I am average in them.
