A guide to opting out of expectations and living a more intentional life from the bestselling author of The Year of Less.

Here are some of the things Cait Flanders has opted out of in the past 10 years:

• Drinking, when she decided to get completely sober, at the age of 27 
• Living with debt, when she finished paying off $30,000 of it and vowed: never again
• Working in an office, when she quit to work for herself
• Having a lot of stuff, when she decluttered and got rid of 80-85% of it
• Having a home, when she decided to fully embrace her nomadic lifestyle
