The older I get the more claustrophobic I get. Not literally claustrophobic, but I can't stand clutter. I spend an inordinate amount of time picking up and putting away stuff in my house.
Last time we visited Texas we rented an air bnb for two weeks before staying with my wife's dad for awhile after that. The air bnb had a massive yard with one tree in the middle and a small deck connected to the house. I loved that place. I could sit out there all day. Just a deck and one tree.
I’m starting to feel this way though. I’m a paper hoarder because I keep thinking that my resources will help me plan lessons in the future, but I’m making a concerted effort to type everything on my blog and throw away my papers
Wish me luck! Haha

Space is one of those things you don’t really notice until you get some back. I gave away a big desk a while ago and instantly felt like I had room to breathe. There’s something mental about it too — like physical clutter = mental clutter.
Love seeing how everyone here connects space to different things: plants, kids, paper hoarding, that one perfect tree in the yard.
Anyone else try going ultra-minimalist just to see how long you can stand it before the “stuff” creeps back in?
