My home, my room, and my office are a mess

This results in my mind and my thoughts reflecting the mess that surrounds me on a daily basis.

Whenever I go to work, the clutter on my desk stresses me out even before my day ‘officially’ begins. When I come home from a long day from work, the last thing I want to do is clean, but the clothes scattered about combined with the pieces of unidentified paper compels me to spend at least 15 minutes tidying up my space.  

Decluttering and tidying the KonMari method may be my only hope for my problem.

I am going to look at every item I own in my bedroom and then my home office to determine what brings me joy and value in my life and what doesn’t. This process I am going to label as “The Things I Carry” series and each post will be either about a single item or a group of items that I will catalogue and critique.

To me, minimalism is owning possessions with a purpose. Every item you own has a purpose and a reason for existing in your life. In my opinion minimalism isn’t always about not having much, it’s about knowing what you have and having a purpose of having it in your life.
