Less is more

My newest distraction is living with less. I have been purging my belongings in stages and I hope to ultimately have less and be happier in the process. My first purge was easy, I took a few boxes and filled them with items I no longer had any attachment to and off the boxes went to the second hand shop. My second purge was a little trickier, I placed a large box in my office and filled it with belongings that I thought I might be able to live without. I left the box in the office for a month and anything I pulled out of the box within that month I kept and at the end of 30 days, whatever was left in the box went to the second hand shop. I have continued this second phase for many months and it has been easy for me to de clutter. I am preparing to launch phase 3 which includes removing anything that is not serving a purpose. I will create a seperate post just for this difficult phase so stay tuned.
