Packing to Move Across the Country and the 3 Year Rule

I’ve been packing all my junk to move across the country, so updates will be a bit sporadic for the next few weeks. Apologies in advance for slow updates.

I’ve developed a rule for reducing the amount of stuff that I’ll have to move. I call it the “3 Year Rule.” It’s pretty simple. I ask myself, “have I used this in the past 3 years?” If the answer is no, then I give it away or throw it out.

And for stuff that I have used over the past 3 years, the next question is “do I really need to hold onto this?”

I can’t wait to live a minimalist lifestyle where I only have the things that I need.
