The Sloth Man's Guide to Simple Living




I've never been one to follow the conventional pace of life. 
My friends even nicknamed me 'Sloth Man' in the past, thanks to my stubborn refusal to rush.
A perfect example of my sloth strategy is my recently completed clothesline project.
Here's how it unfolded:
1. Move into a new rental after crossing the country.
2. Wait 10 years for trees to naturally grow close to the house.
3. String a line between two of the now 3-4 meter tall trees to hang laundry.
The best part? I didn't need to buy a thing. The trees were free, and I repurposed rope and hardware from our unused hammock.
All it took was patience, waiting for the right moment, and then proceeding at my own pace.



This experience reminds me that sometimes, the simplest solutions require only time, patience, and creativity – no shopping required.
And if that makes me a sloth man, so be it. There are definitely worse things to be.
Sloths are fascinating creatures, and their personality characteristics can be quite inspiring. 
They are worthy of emulation in an increasingly, obsessively fast paced world.


Some notable traits associated with sloths:
  1. Relaxed and calm: Sloths embody serenity, moving slowly and deliberately.
  2. Patient: They take their time, often waiting for hours or even days for the perfect moment to act.
  3. Gentle: Sloths are non-aggressive and peaceful, avoiding confrontations.
  4. Resourceful: They adapt to their environment, using their surroundings to their advantage.
  5. Independent: Sloths are solitary animals, content with their own company.
  6. Flexible: They adjust to changing circumstances, like weather or food availability.
  7. Playful: Despite their slow pace, sloths have a playful side, especially in social interactions.
  8. Resilient: Sloths cope with challenges, like predators or harsh weather, with remarkable adaptability.

And finally, as I draw this Sloth Fest of a post to a slow conclusion, I implore you to consider embracing your own inner sloth.

  • Prioritize relaxation and self-care.
  • Cultivate patience in daily life.
  • Seek creative solutions to problems.
  • Appreciate the value of slowing down.

  • Simple living sloth people unite. 

    Slowly and carefully.
