Aside from the personal choice of whether this minimalism is the lifestyle for you, where you live can make it easier or downright difficult to stick to your decision to go small.
The Pueblo Chieftain
I spent the better half of my winter vacation cleaning out crammed closets, over-flowing cabinets and jam-packed drawers. (Doors on some closets had to be slammed quickly in order for things to not spill out.) I have known for quite a long time there was a deep clean “a-coming”. I have been so busy I have neglected the everyday organizing that it takes to keep everything spiffy. And, truthfully, I just didn’t want to start because I knew how much work it would be. Surprisingly, I didn’t count on the benefits of immense self-satisfaction and feelings of accomplishment that went along with organizing and throwing out unneeded stuff.
