The Pursuit of the Perfect: My Quest for the Ultimate Everything

Most people collect things. I eliminate them.

I’m not just talking about decluttering. I mean a full-scale mission to find the absolute best—the one perfect item in every category—so I never have to think about it again.

✔ One backpack.
✔ One pen.
✔ One pencil.
✔ One bathroom set.

Everything I own must be the best, the most compact, the most portable.

Why? Because life is unpredictable. One day you’re settled, the next, you’re packing your life into a suitcase. And when that happens, you start looking at your things differently.

🔹 Not as objects, but as decisions.

I don’t want five backpacks—I want one that does it all.
I don’t want a drawer full of pens—I want one that feels perfect in my hand.
I don’t want a cluttered bathroom—I want one streamlined setup that works anywhere in the world.

This isn’t just minimalism.

It’s ruthless optimization.

The Rules of the Game

Finding The One is an art form. It’s not about luxury, trends, or whatever the internet says is cool. It’s about functionality, durability, and pure problem-solving.

1️⃣ Compactness is king. If it’s too bulky, it’s out. Portability without sacrifice.
2️⃣ One item, zero regrets. Once I pick The One, I’m committed. No backups, no alternatives. This is my Excalibur.
3️⃣ Quality over everything. If it doesn’t last, it doesn’t belong. No disposable junk.
4️⃣ No over-engineered nonsense. If a backpack has 72 hidden compartments, a built-in solar panel, and an AI-powered zipper, I don’t want it. Keep it simple, durable, and effective.

This isn’t about being cheap. It’s about investing in the best, once—and then never thinking about it again.

The Search is Brutal

You’d think this would be easy. It’s not.

Finding the one perfect item in any category means sifting through a sea of almost-perfect-but-not-quite-right options.

  • The best backpack? Big enough for essentials, small enough for travel, structured but not rigid, lightweight but durable. After weeks of research, I find one. Then… a new contender appears. The cycle repeats.
  • The best pen? Writes smoothly, dries fast, feels premium but doesn’t scream pretentious fountain pen guy. Found it. But wait—should I test one more?
  • The best toothbrush? Yes, even this is a debate. Compact, electric, but without needing a suitcase full of accessories. Why is this so hard?

Each decision is a battle. A war between function and obsession.

And the internet doesn’t make it easier. Every time I think I’ve found The One, I read one more review that plants a seed of doubt.

❌ “This backpack is perfect… but the zipper is flimsy.”
❌ “This pen is incredible… but it smudges if you’re left-handed.”
❌ “This toothbrush is great… but it needs a proprietary charger the size of a brick.”

I fall down rabbit holes. I read Reddit threads, watch YouTube comparisons, and make spreadsheets with pros and cons.

Yes, I’m that person.

Why I Love This Insanity

Some people call it overthinking.

I call it engineering my life for efficiency.

Because once I’ve chosen The One, I’m free.

✅ No more switching.
✅ No more rebuying.
✅ No more second-guessing.

Just one backpack, one pen, one perfect setup.

It’s about reducing decision fatigue. It’s about knowing that every item I own is the absolute best choice for me. It’s about portability, mobility, and adaptability.

It’s also about being prepared.

I’ve moved across continents multiple times. I know what it’s like to pack your life into a suitcase. I know the freedom of traveling light and the nightmare of clutter.

So when the next big move happens—whether across a city or across a continent—I’ll be ready.

❌ No clutter.
❌ No baggage.
✅ Just the best, most compact version of everything I need.

The Final Boss Battle of Minimalism

I’m not naive.

I know The One doesn’t really exist. There’s always something new, always a better version coming out.

But the pursuit isn’t just about the object—it’s about the mindset.

It’s about curating my life to be as efficient and effective as possible. It’s about choosing quality over quantity in every decision.

So if you ever see me staring at a backpack in deep existential thought… just know I’m in the final boss battle of minimalism.

And when I finally find The One?

✔ I’ll stop looking.
✔ Until the next perfect version comes out. 😉
