Multi-functional, all-in-one everything

4th October 2003, lunch time | Comments (2)

There are too many things in my life.

Not people and jobs and decisions, but actual things — books, diaries, shoes, clothes, newspapers, pens, computer stuff.

It’s everywhere.

I started off working in this room with only a laptop, nothing else. Now I have:

1. A laptop;
2. An 18in flat screen;
3. A stand for the screen;
4. A wireless keyboard and mouse;
5. Some speakers;
6. A mobile phone;
7. Two diaries;
8. Two glasses cases;
9. A drawer full of installation CDs;
10. A drawer full of DVDs;
11. More pens than I can comfortably misplace in a year;
12. A boxfile full or receipts;
13. Three boxfiles of paperwork for past and present projects;
14. One boxfile of catalogues;
15. Twelve books on programing and design (only two of which I ever refer to);
16. A plant;
17. Assorted magazines, paperwork, printer paper, medicine and camera filters sitting on the floor;
18. A huge digital SLR and its bag;
19. A guitar and case;
20. An old, empty drawer from somewhere;
21. Some dumbbells;
22. A inflatable yoga ball;
23. A special sitting-kneeling chair;
24. 100 blank CD-Rs and their cases;
25. Two folders holding all my photos on CDs;
26. Miscellaneous bits of hardware and wiring in a box.

That’s far too much stuff for one room.

I need to minimise the crap. I need multi-functional, all-in-one everything.

And I need it quick, before I go barmy.
