Check out Michael Wolf’s photographs of 10×10 rooms in Hong Kong.  Hong Kong is my favorite city, it’s a place where East meets West.  But, many people forget that a few blocks away from those skyscrapers are the old apartments that once covered the city.

It is pretty amazing that so much stuff can be fit into rooms so small.  My favorite rooms are the ones clear of clutter – even though the rooms are so small, they can still feel spacious if there is open space.  Wolf’s photos have inspired me to declutter my own room.

I am following the Zen Habits method of decluttering:
- Find an open space
- One drawer/shelf at a time, empty the contents onto the space
- Make 2 piles: keep or throw
- Organize the items you want to keep

Will decluttering my room simplify my life? I’ll let you know.
