simplify my life

I’m moving. and the place I’m moving to is about 1/3 (or maybe even 1/4) of the size of the place I’m living in now. So I’m going to use this time to downsize – especially clothes. I’ll try to get rid of random stuff I’ve got around my place. I don’t want to rid myself of my books…I love my books…but I might just have to let go. I love how being surrounded with books makes me feel and I love having choices and my fingertips – but do I really need a couple hundred books around – many that I’ll never read again?

It’s March 3rd and I need to be out of my place by the 15th. So, I’ve got my work cut out for me.

I’m in the process of getting rid of a lot of my possessions. It’s taking me a while because (1) there’s a lot to go through and (2) I’m rarely home. I’m holding down a day job in addition to trying to build my organizing business. So I stay pretty busy and usually only make it home an hour or two before I go to bed.

There are many ways in which a person can simplify their life. Overall, I want to do a holistic life change and right now, the purging of excess stuff is what I am starting with, but it’s coming along slowly, but surely (I think)

And people had better join because I’m being charged every month for this. :)

Anyhow, if you live near Los Angeles and you see this, I started a new meetup group today and I’m trying to get the word out. I’d like to network with some people interested in simplicity and how we can make it work in our lives – especially in a place like L.A.

You can check out the group here: http://simplicity.meetup.com/92/?gj=sj3

Join if you are interested, or feel free to contact me with questions.

There is too much crap in my life right now. I’m trying to simplify my life.

I will try to do this not only in letting go of stuff I don’t need, but also in streamlining my calendar. Also, my spiritual life has been greatly suffering for a while now. I was trying to get more into Quaker practice after my internship in 2005, but allowed interference to push that out of my life as a priority, so now I’m trying to get back into it

I go to work (and/or school), I come home, I go online, I sleep.

Simple.

Boring.

My life is complicated! Not that everyone’s life isnt complicated – I think they are.

But you know when you get to the point where its just a little too complicated? I’m there right now. 90% of it is my fault…I’m not one to scapegoat. I just want to simplify in every possible way you can think of.
