yes I really equate clear space with clear mind. I do think stuff makes a house feel cozy sometimes too... Its been taking me months to slowly unload, and now I just invited a roomate to move in... with all his crap! He doesn't have a TON of stuff, but it was just one more person worth of kitchen items, food, cleaning supplies etc. And my house isnt very big. But I am getting it all reorganized best I can... For me its a bit of a mental health thing too because if there is too much stuff all around i start losing my glasses, keys, wallet... all over the place... and i start to feel like a nutty professor. Having it as visually clear as possible really helps me get through the day. I am not to the level I want to be, but I am getting there little by little all the time. Maybe in a couple years I will reach "room emptiness" level... :)
