"What's in the box? Whatever it is must be pretty important, because I've traveled with it, moved it, from apartment to apartment to apartment."-
I recently read a transcript of a Ted speech by Graham Hill. In it he talks about purchasing a 420 sq. feet apartment in Manhattan and creating a space that fits his stuff and needs.
He has a website lifeedited.org.
I have been living in a studio apartment for the last month or so and I can completely agree with him. We move boxes and stuff that we have "outgrown". We hoard.
I feel lighter. I sometimes wish I had an extra bedroom but most of the time I think in terms of getting rid of stuff instead of collecting more stuff.
We forget that "stuff" has energy and we own that energy while we have it. Do you still want to hold on to energy of a shirt you used to wear ten years ago?
Today's question is:
"Are you hoarding stuff?"
