Video tour of Jay Shafer’s 96-square-foot house | Unclutterer - I LOVE THIS!

We've lived in our 625 sf guest house for the past several years and that is what helped me realize I am happy with LESS space not more. We are now moving back to the city (from the country) and you can believe Storage Space, not SF will be my priority (and a tub).

Tossing your stuff in a search for a more simplistic life can be contagious

Week one of my "big dig" project is over.  From what I have sorted through so far, MORE than 50% is gone!  I have almost completed the master bedroom (My biggest project) and the feeling of relief and renewal is intense.

Yet, more than my own gains (or losses, whichever way you may choose to see it), my business partner has caught the bug and rid herself of 16!!! Hefty bags of unuecessary stuff, my 14 year old daughter has 100% sorted and tossed her room, and my dear husband has sorted his closet and made plans go get rid of one of his two motorcycles.  I did not say one word to my daughter or husband pushing them to start their own "dig" projects, they caught the bug and did it on their own.  The most interesting part?  I have been after them for MONTHS and MONTHS about doing these things, yet they never would.  When they saw my own efforts and how much better I felt, they started their own clean-up projects.

If you are feeling a bit intimidated and have people you live with who you wished might share your new found urge to toss, just get started without them.  Don't pressure them, don't even suggest to them. Just move on, do you own task and see if it might not become contagious in your household as well.
