#152 Simple living—Decluttering your life to find more joy with Pete Rogers

Most of us are brilliant at accumulating ‘things’ and filling each wall, bookshelf and crevice of our homes with them. Possessions signify status for some and security for others. As expats, I know first hand the hoarders mentality that grips so many of us. Look into any expat’s medicine or toiletry cabinet for proof—they’ll be half a year or even a year’s worth of the coveted items that we’re sure we may need at some point in the months to come. While there’s wisdom in being prepared, do you ever feel bogged down—weighted—by the clutter in your life? Is there any temptation to look to your left and to your right and compare yourself with those closest to you? Would living a little leaner at home and in your professional life give you a needed lift and more freedom? In this discussion with Pete Rogers, we dig into the transformative power of living simply, and Pete gives some solid guidelines on how to start.
