My Current State of Owning as Little as Possible

Dec 12 2011

Getting there, not done yet.

“I Gave Away Everything I Own in ‘My Emporium”,
and Now All My Belongs Fit In a Trunk”

I still have this to go through:

Plus I was too generous during my first round, this will also be reduced.

I’ll guess 80% of that gets purged. I’m ruthless.

I’ve always had on my backup plan list, “Professional Organizer”: I come over and sort out your life, remove the crap, and install systems for you to follow.

I’ll video a tour before I disassemble this place, show you what I’ve got it down to. Clothes take up a lot of room, and bathroom products, books weigh a ton.

It’s a King Kong trunk if you’re curious. Canadian Tire, $160.

Here’s what “The Emporium” looked like:

Remember that time I found I could fit in my trunk?

Remember ‘Dance Packing’?

Re-embedding, ha.

I haven’t thought about any of the stuff I gave away.

My Last 24 Hours

Nov 5 2011

Guys woah, until it’s ALL GONE, all of it, you don’t realize how reliant you are on electronic communication until you literally have none.

I went to 2 McDonald’s and a Starbucks, I tried my guts out to get this online… coming soon PROPER TOOLS: an iPhone I can tether to an Air, a laptop that’s just my size.

Regarding my new site well, I’ve been building it in my imagination for 2 years, and it’s as good. The unveiling is later this week, and, maybe my favourite news, The Canadian Explorer is finally getting the home it deserves.

Here’s my home for the next two months.

My trunk in the GLI.

I have a lot of purging to do, still. You have to be ruthless I’ve learned.

And the video ‘I Own Only One Trunk’ well, is still unedited, there’s been no time… it’s a rhythm I still haven’t found yet, but I’m getting closer.

I’m excited to edit that one, I had a lot of fun with The Emporium, the whole experience, and I have more to say about the experience, which was kinda weird.
