apology for poor english when were you when minimalism dies? i was sat at home eating avocado toast when marie kondo ring ‘minimalism is kill’ ‘no’ This is when one of our readers heard the shocking news that minimalism, the art of living with less, is dying.

Think of all the clutter you can avoid by using Chinese instead of English. ...
