## The Magic of Tidying Up… Living in a Tiny Home

![E01BB057-5676-49A5-8969-9D4FD2BEF8BF.jpeg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXMcE4CcLJiDmUXGnzF7jnzRCeDGP7A679EPiqeQSbsbZ/E01BB057-5676-49A5-8969-9D4FD2BEF8BF.jpeg)
 
> We all know we feel better when we live in a tidy place, though it’s not always easy to achieve. Today we are sharing from our tiny home about the importance of tidying and introducing a great book by Marie Kondo where she highlights her method of ridding oneself of clutter and living a happier and more peaceful life.

## Tiny homes are all the rage- there are even mainstream TV shows about them. 


We never had any dreams or goals of living in a tiny home, but here we are living in a cabin a little over 140 square feet. The minimalist lifestyle certainly has its merits, and perhaps those are even more pronounced when living in small spaces. That said we don’t always do a perfect job of keeping things tidy…

<center><h2>Does this item bring you joy?</h2></center>
 
This is the main question Marie Kondo poses to those seeking to tidy up. When you touch something that doesn’t bring you joy (a trinket or item of clothing), the item is thanked for its use and allowed to move on. This simple yet ruthless method allows for a lot less stuff to accumulate and offers a more simple existence.
 
### This level of scrutiny is a MUST in small spaces. 
 
When we moved to our land, we first erected a yurt as the need for shelter was immediate. We now live in an octagonal cedar log cabin that was built for us during the filming of an episode of Discovery Channel’s “Homestead Rescue”. This experience is challenging us to live with fewer things and inspiring us to tidy our lives up a bit and move items on that are not essential. Each morning tidying the space is just par for the course!

>There’s a lightness and freedom when you give things away.
 
Just yesterday I was introduced to the difference between living for-giving or living for-getting, a clever play on words. Are we living from a place where we’re after more or less?

#### Are there things that you have around you that don’t bring you joy? I’d invite you to give those away and allow in more simplicity.

I love the idea of a tiny home. Just shows how successful marketing is around) full of crap that we believe is essential. 

I'm a bit OCD with being tidy too, anytime i need to study or focus or meditate i can't until i have tidy'd up- not sure if that's the correct spelling! I feel like my mind is clearer is my space is!

I love your little cabin home.  Love it.
Thanks for sharing the book with us and the tips of getting organized in the smaller spaces since I also have a pretty small house and I couldn't be happier since I also lived in a huge beautiful home, but I love my small space.

From a 4th generation, from both sides, packrat:

Getting rid of anything family is REALLY hard for me. And then there are books....  :))

But we will be building an addition, single story, next year and I expect the moving around of stuff will lend to getting rid of some of it.

But one benefit I've had from the Lyme is I keep things in their place ALWAYS! I simply do not have the energy to look for things.

Uh oh 4 generations deep... There is indeed usefulness is keeping stuff around, but it can only go so far. I find building supplies to be the most useful things to keep, but then again they pile up fast!

What you've learned is valuable, now if I could only do that all that time. Looking for stuff wastes time and frustrates me. That's one major drawback to starting from scratch on the homestead is having to MAKE places for everything. 

All the best with the shuffling and moving and addition. I'm sure you'll find plenty to liberate yourself from... I know that at books can be the hardest hehe.

Having what I need at hand is sort of reinforcing of the packrattishness.  :))

When I start a project or need to repair something, I much prefer being able to reach for whatever and finish. But as you say, having so much stuff can be draining....  At least I know where most of mine is due to long standing Lyme issues...

And having a 105' x 30' barn doesn't help, when it comes to keeping stuff...

I like the idea of decluttering.  I think you have talked about considering whether an item brings you joy before regarding clothes.  Great thought process.  I like the closing "especially the things that you hold most dear."  Nothing is sacred.  Reconsider all.

OH yes, to not reconsider is foolish... It makes sense and a good reminder that we all die naked and that nothing can be taken with us. The attachments we hold are strong and it's always wise to take a different path or make new choices.

I live in a much bigger place, and I still have things like everywhere
When I first moved in, I told myself I will not hoard
But I don't know how it happened, I have stuff I don't even know I have
They just get lost in the clutter
I tried decluttering about 4 5 months ago.... it wasn't easy
So I told myself I will come back for phase two to get rid of the rest that I know I should but wasn't ready to
Thank you for sharing your Small Home and the Declutter tip with us :)

Your post really resonates with me @mountainjewel.  When we left the Uk we literally took what we could take in the car, with our dog having the most space... lol!  I've found it liberating to not have 'stuff' around... but I still love having my books and my crystals.  Your cabin looks lovely! :) xx
