Less stuff + Less room = more happiness

I have been on a mission to slowly pair down my possessions (especially my unused books and clothes), and I’m not alone. One of my coworkers and her roommates set aside this weekend to recreate “moving” with all of the cleaning, organizing, and clearing out unused stuff… only without actually having to pack everything up and move. The idea is genius! When I was moving twice a year in college, I was constantly sorting through my things and forcing myself to decide if I really wanted to take one more item with me again. Since I’ve been in one place for almost a full year, I think it might be time to do my own pretend moving.
