0:00.0	It's a minimalist Monday edition of Optimal Living Daily Episode 1921,
0:04.4	why you shouldn't feel like a minimalist imposter by Sarah Moss with nosidebar.com,
0:10.0	and I'm Justin Malik. Happy Monday and welcome back to the Optimal Living Daily podcast,
0:14.7	OLD, where I read to you every single day of the year. Now today I have a post from a popular site
0:20.7	called No Sidebar, then after I'm going to share something nice from our Vibely community,
