About
What this site is about
Mizennetlo is a collection of practical notes on minimalism and conscious living in the Czech Republic.
The idea behind Mizennetlo
This site started as a personal project — a place to collect notes on what it actually means to live more simply in the Czech Republic. Not the aspirational version of minimalism you see in lifestyle magazines, but the practical, sometimes unglamorous work of figuring out what you need, what you do not, and how to make daily life feel less cluttered and more deliberate.
The Czech Republic is an interesting place to think about these questions. It has a strong tradition of local production, a repair culture that never fully disappeared, and a relationship with nature and seasons that is more embedded in daily life than in many Western European cities. There is something to learn from that, even if you are not Czech and even if you live in Prague rather than a village in Moravia.
The articles here are practical rather than philosophical. They are about specific things: how to approach decluttering a Prague apartment, where to shop more consciously in Czech cities, what slow living actually looks like when you are not on holiday. The goal is to be useful, not inspirational.
Practical over aspirational

Local and specific
Recommendations for actual places and resources in Czech Republic.
No sponsorships

Honest about limits
Individual choices matter, but systemic change matters more. Both are worth discussing.
