...but in actuality, if I had a garage, would I just fill it up with more crap?
So if I follow the rule of, if it is empty, fill it, the less empty space to begin with, the better.
Reminds me of my Mom and Step-dad’s garage, full of sixty-some years of stuff from two marriages (where both opposite spouses passed previously, leaving each of them in possession of everything) and four kids. I hope for them, but they may never be able to pull in a car into their two and 1/2 car garage for all the stuff piled taller than me.
Perhaps if I have to work out of the dining room it is in fact better, like having to write poetry within the constraints of a sonnet (though it often feels like sestina).
