Over the past week or so we have lived a relatively minimalistic life as we packed up everything for our move yesterday. There were certainly issues since we were packing for moving which wasn't always optimal. However, it gave me a glimpse into minimalism that I haven't seen (at least for a while).
Picking up the house took less than ten minutes. Washing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen took only a few minutes as well. Our room was mostly cleaned out and it was pleasantly stark. No clutter or piles of clothes laying around to complicate things.
Having little kids limits how minimalist we can be, but it really was nice. Oh, another thing, we were getting the house ready to move out of too, so a lot of nagging projects had gotten either packed away or resolved. So there really was very little of the mental baggage hanging over my head of unstarted or unfinished projects.
The mental freedom was relaxing. I need to explore this more in our new house. I wonder if I can plan for that without being ultra minimalist (I don't want to eat dinner on the kitchen floor).
