After 1 month since the start of my downsizing project I am still camping in my bedroom with most of my clothes still in bags.  I’ve now worn a few things and those are now in my wardrobe or on shelves. I’m enjoying the minimal wardrobe.  With just a few things hanging in my wardrobe or in my drawers, getting dressed in the mornings has become a much quicker activity.  It’s easier to see what I’ve got and quicker to choose as there are simply fewer choices!

I’m also finding that the emptier shelves and dressing table gives me a sense of calm.  Less clutter in my room definitely makes for less clutter in my mind!

Clear dressing table = clear mind

I don’t think I’ll be taking too many more clothes out until I start work again in August, then I suspect a few more will come out.  Right now I’m in my more casual clothes which I won’t need so much once I’m back at work.

Hopefully by the end of September I’ll know exactly what I wear for both work and play and will be able to remove the rest!  Downsizing phase one (summer) will be complete.
