live a minimalist lifestyle

This isn’t meant as score-keeping, its just to give an idea of what a ridiculous amount of stuff I had piled up. So far I’ve already done away with over 200 books, 2 bookshelves, 1 dresser, 24 shirts, 11 pairs of pants and around 100 assorted t-shirts, pairs of drawers and pairs of socks. I can move around in my own space again!

I’ve been working on reducing for some time now. My advice, make it a simple project, not a huge effort. I have a crate sitting in the bottom of my closet and whenever I come across something in my apartment that I decide I can do without I put it in the crate. As soon as the crates full, I load all the stuff into those little plastic bags that I have sitting around leftover from my grocery store trips and drop the bags off at the Salvation Army.
