Sometimes the Answer is to Downsize

I became serious about simplifying my life when I realized I owned too much. I have been keeping things that I love and that are purposeful, and this has resulted in appreciating more, spending more time with people that matter, and being less attached to my belongings. Most recently, I decluttered a lot of jewelry, and my large jewelry box was taking up too much space and was mostly empty. Therefore, I donated my old jewelry box and purchased a smaller one. 

I'd rather have extra space and extra time than extra stuff.

As you look around your home and/or car, are there containers that are taking up unnecessary space? Start by just tackling one room. I started with just one item; my jewelry box. As you can see in the two below photos, not only is the new box taking up less surface area, but now it fits in a drawer instead of needing a shelf. Simplicity at the best.
