I am in a constant battle with myself to use less stuff because I live in a state of perpetual guilt about how much stuff I have.
Stuff I don’t need.
I don’t believe in going totally Marie Kondo because I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a few beautiful things in your home…
But I also know I have too much stuff, and it weighs me down.
One of my problems is, I forget when I’ve bought stuff.
Another problem: we live in a building site, and it’s really hard to get rid of stuff because it’s everywhere, and I might want it when the house is done.
(lol at the idea of the house being “done”)
I also pack like an absolute idiot whenever I go away but I think that’s down to sheer panic.
Anyway, this is about you, not me. Set a timer for 5 minutes and write about whatever comes to mind when you see the prompt “use less stuff”.
TTFN,
Vicky
