I could not see that this TEDtalk had been previously posted in these forums. Apologies if I have missed it.
Writer and designer Graham Hill asks: Can having less stuff, in less room, lead to more happiness? He makes the case for taking up less space, and lays out three rules for editing your life.
The amount of money and space that he refers to for personal storage are phenomenal.
Even before our son moved out, we weren't using all the space in our 1900 sq.ft. home. Now that he's gone, I'm sure we could live comfortably in much less space. I find a large home, even though our home isn't large by a lot of people's standards, to be a burden. It's too much to clean and dress, and a lot of space is devoted to lawn and garden maintenance and home improvement tools and supplies.
I love Graham Hill's apartment - I could be happy living in that environment.
wow cool, i like his presentation.
some of his preconditions might not fit to everybody, e.g. over here where i life, it´s really cheaper (A LOT cheaper!) to rent more space and put some ikea furniture in there instead of paying a carpenter to furnish your home - but okay, i do not live in manhattan... and i also think that space sometimes is priceless... nevertheless, i like his approach.
LIKE!!
what a terrific presentation....succinct and clear.
and i loved his apartment.
