Or can a “ditch the clutter” freak like me get rid of all his books and be just fine?

Books take up an awful lot of space, especially for something that you really only use for a few months and then store for years. I haven’t missed owning hard copies of albums on cd, tape, or vinyl. Why would I miss my books?

How can I justify my desire for compact, organized living when we have so many little rectangular objects taking up shelf/closet/floor space in my home?

The Sydney Morning Herald has an awesome article on clutter. Talk about clutter in life…why the heck am I reading a newspaper from Australia? The best part of the article to me was their categorizing of clutter. Good to know that its not just we Americans struggling with clutter…From the article:

Our lives look like these search engines. Sometimes clutter feels like a battle that will never end. At times it makes me want to scream “MOTHER CLUTTER!!!!”

I always admired my close friend Josh Rosenthal because he only owned things he really needed. He only filled his schedule with stuff that mattered. His life looks like Google. I admire that.

Then, I have other friends whose lives look more like Yahoo or MSN. I have met people whose homes you can’t even walk through because they just have so much clutter.

I’m not just talking about too much stuff sitting in our homes…our schedules, offices, and relationships also get cluttered.

Clutter can be an indication of bigger problems in life.
