Stuff-onomics: Hidden Side of What You Own | ThinkSimpleNow.com

http://thinksimplenow.com/clarity/stuff-onomics-hidden-side-of-what-you-own/

After traveling for several months in one bag: two pairs of pants, a few shirts, a jacket, several books, and my iPod (which I used once)…. Coming home to 50 boxes full of Stuff, it felt like my world was once again being weighed down by things I didn’t need. It felt as if the things will consume more of me than I will ever consume of it. Thus, my new project: to simplify my life… starting with Stuff.

now that things are starting to settle down on the Tipton3 homefront, i’m getting back to my simplification kick - this is a great “how-to” type article, to help you see how “stuff” really does weight the average person down… We never think of it that way, but in all honesty, when you have a bunch of stuff to take care of/store/whatever, it ties you down and creates a cyclical pattern that makes us work harder and harder just to pay off the stuff we buy…

Anyway, I never lost sight of my simplification goals, I just had to push them back in the priority order with the move and all that… so now I’m back at it. Go read this article. now.
