Every possession occupies more than physical space.

Objects take up room in your attention as well as your home. Each one carries a small share of decision, maintenance, guilt about not using it, and the effort of moving around it. That is why clearing a space often produces a feeling out of all proportion to the physical change.

Remove ten things this week that you neither use nor love. Not as an exercise in discipline, just to find out how much of the weight was not physical.
