Getting rid of "stuff"
Over the past little while, I've noticed a trend with people becoming less materialistic and less focused on getting "stuff". There was an article in the Herald a little while back -- basically, people trying to minimize and/or simplify their lives rather than always accumulating more possessions.
Materialism aside, I admit to being a bit of a "pack rat" -- not a full on hoarder or anything like that, but I have a hard time getting rid of stuff or throwing it away.
I've also read books and other articles on simplifying your life, as well as decreasing clutter, etc. Apparently there are even experts out there on home organization, etc.
Anybody have any tips or experiences on decreasing the clutter and "stuff" that I'm sure clogs up a lot of our lives? How about avoiding it to start with (i.e. being less materialistic and "stuff-focused")?
