Speaking of too much stuff

This book is probably one of the best books I've ever read in my life...

OK, you don't have to be a tv show level hoarder to benefit from reading it. He also talks about different types of "life activity clutter". And how our society and marketing in general affect us in this area. Frankly, reading it has been pretty life changing for me on how I view things.

I'm in the process of gutting my house of physical junk. Also general life clutter, just simplifying. The feeling of freedom it brings is amazing.

Your husband probably will not jump on the band wagon to read the book. But, you as his spouse might get some insight. Good Luck.

Maybe the first step is organization and offer to help organize the guest house basement area. It looks like it could be packed a lot more effectively. It would look better and likely hold some of the stuff that is outside. Move the freezer for easier access. Organize the chaos and see about going from there once that is done. Small steps. Very small steps.

I will definitely check those out.

I'm going to talk to him about The Stuff tomorrow. I just hope he agrees and can help me figure out how best to remove it, or even remove half of it! Thanks everyone, wish me luck!
