It's called "Norwegian closet size." I realized that our live-in (twice the size of walk-in) closet in Austin was leading me into some bad habits. Way too many clothes. Way too much stuff I didn't need. Our cupboards here (no, we don't even have closets - we have free-standing wardrobes) are so small that when I see a bargain at the shop, not only do I have to consider the money, I have to stop and decide whether it's worth the closet space! We do have the luxury of living in a 1000 sq.ft. apartment, so not surprisingly we have an entire room that's filled floor-to-ceiling with books and computers. PS - Thanks for the plug! When *ARE* you coming to visit?! ;-) We have our own version of this.

"things" clutter our lives. what are important are the people and relationships in our lives. for me, anyway. Now, having said that, Kevin, how would you be getting down to maybe one computer? do-able?one IBook?

(and much easier to carry around =) if only i could live more like i travel. i like the idea of having less and have gotten better at getting rid of stuff and resisting the urge to buy. however, i’ve still got at least a closet full of things i rarely use…just in case! =P
