I’d never describe myself as a minimalist as I like ‘things’ but from Oct I’ll need to reduce my things down to a suitcase full as I’m going full on digital nomad.
Could you do it? Are you a hoarder. I didn’t actually realise how much stuff I had until I began the process of clearing my flat! |

Kids are all grown now so seems like the perfect time  |

I did this a while ago now and it helps massively with my mind.
Apparently I've been like this since a child but I despise clutter... I like clean... bordering on sterile space.
Pictures art etc fine...
But still clean surfaces.
Cupboards are packed with shite like... |

My son is grown (20) but boomeranged back with the contents of his flat and GFs student house |

Oh 100%. I moved countries quite a few times when I was younger with nothing more than a backpack.
Now as a couple we have moved house many times and it's crazy how little we have to move. We have a load of gym stuff in the garage and tools but if we had to leave them I wouldn't be bother.
It always surprises me the stuff people keep on self storage. Literally paying to have stuff they don't need |

I really like the minimalist/essentialist life, it’s the key to productivity and results in all areas.
Best thing I did was invest in a single chrome rail, it has limited space & forces me to get rid of old clothes if I buy any new ones, which makes me think very carefully before buying any! |

Self storage here involves our dining room and under the beds |

I’m a hoarder but trying to get rid of things. Mostly now start to get rid of things I have not used for a long time or use “sparks joy” method. I would like to get rid of at least 1/3 of my stuff this year. |

I hoard. I don't like throwing stuff away that might come in handy. Left over diy materials etc. It rarely does.. 
Out and about I am minimalist, never carry more than I need for the trip. I sometimes work remotely and carry a mi-fi hotspot so can work many places. |

"I'm not a hoarder, but I'd need to feel that I had some roots, rather than just passing through a place "
I’m the opposite, being in one place bores me, the world is a weird and wonderful place and I want to see as much of it as possible! |

"I have lived as a nomad for the last 10 years. It was the best feeling ever to cut ties with all the pointless possession I owned.
I am the happiest I have ever been owning very little"
Ah that’s great to hear |

Crikey I've just started packing to move home and the stuff I've found in my attic I stored for 17 years.
Wtf.
So next week will be full of endless charity shop runs and tip runs.
I'm finding getting rid of everything quite liberating actually. A weight lifted. |

Once or twice a year I regularly clear stuff out either to charity or sell bits if they are worth it or if I can be bothered. It's pretty amazing that despite not buying much, more and more gets found |
