I've been shedding stuff in a few big clear outs over the last several years, piles of mags, paper, DVDs, old clothes, stuff I'm realistically never going to need, even though I am one of those 'maybe I'll need that one day' people, have to be brutal, I'll allow myself personal effects and nice books which I can store neatly away but I've always wanted to counteract my cluttered mind by having order in the world around me, and have found that stripping back to the essentials really helps, it's not like I'm breaking the idea of not being materialistic or anything but I've always thought we breeze through this world in the blink of an eye so what's the point collecting superfluous stuff. Binning shit you're never going to use but think you might one day is really stress-busting. Keep meaning to read that book but haven't in 4 years and beat yourself up in a minute way every time you think about it? BIN.
