I have unpacked more, sorted more (kitchen stuff for instance). I sold an Xbox One I won (one I won, — haha!), although, to hopefully eventually get a PS4, but in the meantime it saves space.
And I just put a bit some tiny things that are pointless to sell on Craigslist under the free section.
Sorting to continue. Including trying to sell more stuff, putting some things on eBay!
Keeping at it!
Short, but sweet post!

Furthermore...
Furthermore, I want to get rid of stuff in an as environmentally friendly way as possible. I will try and give smaller things away via Craigslist, I will get my eBay account going and get a little extra coin by putting stuff there that other people will enjoy. Also, I want to get my digital life sorted more, including digital clutter, such as old files I no longer need and so on, and organising what I want to keep (pictures, video, and so on).
Also, as I mentioned in the first post, I want to get rid of what I don't need, and keep/get better things, but carefully, and wisely, thinking about it carefully, very likely for days, which of course means sleeping on it (many times)!
So, a quick post today, I plan on getting to business with the next post, perhaps even with a couple of before and present pictures!

The beginning
It has almost been one month since moving into a much, much smaller apartment than where I was before, and even where I was before (only one 'much' in that case), and even before that (again, just one 'much'!).
In short, my new place is a bachelor pad, a studio apartment, or as our odd system in Quebec names apartment sizes, a 1.5 (one and a half).
Most of my stuff is here with me. I do still have stuff (personal belongings to be proper) at my parents place, but that is another story! Well, most of what I want/need/use regularly.
And placing it all in a small apartment makes it seem like a lot, even though compared to people living in a proper house, it really isn't that much. Yet, I do want to get rid of a lot of stuff. Some of it could be called clutter to me, some is stuff I just do not use often enough to warrant keeping; old video game consoles for instance.
Down the road I do want to have a home that gives me a sense of permanency. And I would like to have more stuff, but stuff I would actually use, for instance a fully stocked proper kitchen! Furthermore the aforementioned 'clutter' I would still like to get rid of. Certain lesser used stuff could be borderline (to have a game room with all my old consoles setup would be rad! Etc, etc.!).
So, to summarise, this is my blog to keep me motivated and document getting rid of plenty of stuff so wherever I go next, whenever (reminded of Shakira's Whenever Whereever! — disclaimer: as music is my number one passion, I may vary well have more music references in here! ) that will be, I want the move to be as easy as possible, and not transport stuff I do not need/want.
So join me on my 'less is more' journey, and we shall see where I am in one year from now!
