Maru and I are moving flats at the end of the month and we’re starting to clear out our clutter.
It occurred to me that clutter is often hidden. We store things at the back of closets on the off chance we may need them again in the future. But we put those items in places that are equally out-of-the-way and hard-to-find.
This leads to an accumulation of things that aren’t that useful and are rarely used. And as we accumulate more, we get better at hiding the clutter.
Moving flats is a lesson in hidden clutter and the value of having fewer, better things.
