TOLI-BOX REPORTS

What is The TOLI-BOX?

Thinking Out of the BOX by Living In a BOX is an experiment to challenge my habitual and often automatically made decisions and life. By moving into a tiny box, with only absolutely necessary items, I must change my thinking and acting. My automatisms and routine decisions will be disrupted and force me into a new life.

Where does the name TOLI-BOX come from?

The name TOLI-BOX derives from the initial letters

the sense is the real purpose!

First and foremost, the journey is the destination. I wish to gain new insights that help me to find or define my purpose or sense of life. Derived from this my awareness should increase, so I will live a healthier, better and above all happier life.

What does the BOX look like?

The TOLI-BOX is is a really small, L-shaped living cabin, which can be placed on a standard pick-up truck. This BOX contains all the basic amenities of a house but in a tiny format. That means a kitchen with one cooking plate, sink, refrigerator, bathroom with dry toilet mirror cabinet and shower, table with two seats, and double bed. For the cold season, it has oil heating and the electricity is provided by a solar panel. As a luxury, there is also a large roof tent with a direct passage from the living cabin.

When does it start and is there an End date?

As a result of an illness at Covid, the launch has been postponed to Feb. 1, 2022.

Since then the TOLI-BOX is my primary home. As the BOX is mounted on my pickup truck, my home location changes as soon as I drive, so my location automatically becomes my temporary home.

I will continuously record my findings and provide a comprehensive conclusion after one year at the latest.
